ways to calm / soothe yourself?

One thing I'm adjusting to is feeling very alone and vulnerable late at night. I have friends and I'm in counseling, but I have been waking up in the middle of the night worrying about everything I have to do and regretting certain choices I've made. I always feel better in the morning but at night I am just irrational, and then I can't sleep. My now-ex used to help me calm down--even just being able to embrace another person would calm me and help me sleep. Now I just wake up but I can't get back to sleep because I don't have anyone to soothe me. So my question is--how can I calm / soothe myself in the middle of the night? No matter how tired I am when I'm anxious about something I will wake up around 3 or 4 in the morning and fret for a while, fall back asleep and then be tired all day. And I'm anxious about so many more things because I'm now on my own.
