When I am wracked with anxiety and trying to force myself a asleep at night
I lie flat on my back and put my hands on the chakra focused on breathing:

(It works on side sleeping too of course as long as hands are on the
yellow/sun chakra)
I use various mantras.
Lately I breathe in and out slowly saying something like this:
"I am safe, loved, and grateful."
Another one is, "I am powerful, strong, and grateful."
Or this: "I have strength, peace, and gratitude.
Some of them are longer.
