Cognitive behavioral therapy for health anxiety is the most thoroughly tested psychological treatment for persistent fear of illness: it changes how you read normal body sensations and cuts the checking, searching and reassurance-seeking that keep the fear alive. Several meta-analyses have found it outperforms control conditions, and a large Lancet trial found the same against usual care.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for executive dysfunction moves planning, remembering and starting out of your head and into external systems you practice every week, then works on the thoughts that keep you avoiding the task. In a randomized trial of adults with ADHD who still had symptoms on medication, structured CBT reduced symptoms more than relaxation training with education (Safren et al., JAMA, 2010).
Grief is worse at night because the tasks and people that kept your attention all day are gone, a tired brain regulates emotion less well, and evenings carry the routines most tied to the person you lost. Disrupted sleep is common after a death, and for many people the nights ease as the loss settles into daily life.
