Hi @carrie.rabbitt and welcome to the sofi treehouse! We’re really happy to have you here and fingers crossed sofi can help nudge your towards better sleep and calm.
I found a previous post from @Kaveh that should provide some information to help answer your important question on the interaction between anxiety + sleep: Sofi app | calm journal
To paraphrase his eloquent answer:
"When we started our journey with sofi, we knew we would target chronic conditions. At the forefront of our focus were sleeplessness and anxiety.
The more we looked at the science behind them, the more we realised they were not two perfectly separate buckets, but actually, there were shared “pathways” that made one chronic condition create flares in the other. So we set out to prioritise plants that affect both sleeplessness and anxiety."
(Valerian, Passiflora, and Ashwagandha are three great examples of plants that can affect both - and so naturally that’s where we started off in the hopes of targeting both).
I hope that helps, and fingers crossed we will find a plant that works best for you
