Good point about the stretching/meditation. I had to do some serious stretch work, starting with a self massage with my smelly oils for the pain, moving into the stretches, then some meditation, before I was able to settle enough to try going to bed again last night.

Obviously I wouldn't recommend this highly involved, nearly 2 hour ritual for the kid, but even just a few stretches definitely calm me and get the jitters out of my bones. Also, that one night I babysat and you were out later than usual (remember she ended up falling asleep on the couch with me?) I did talk her through the body meditation Tabbifli mentioned above and it seemed to help ease her anxiety a little.
