I would personally agree that being tired can bring on anxiety!  When I take afternoon naps and awake I notice that I feel some anxiety!  Also when I stay out late till 2 am or later and am really tired It brings on anxiety!  I Don't take naps anymore!  As for the eating, I don't get anxious with that one!

Yes! i totally agree. If i get like 3-4 hours of sleep because of a long night...I'm a wreck the next day. I'm anxious, I feel shakey, I'm sensitive to light, etc. yes, its MUCH WORSE when im very tired or sleep deprived.

ya , thanx for responding!! I totally have been noticing that I have been extremely tired, and it makes my anxiety soooo bad!! I sometimes when I take a nap too, I wake up and m yhearts beating hard and kinda fast, I dont know if tahts because, I had a weird dream, cause I have vivid dreams sometimes, especially if im in a deep sleep!! Does that ever happen to anyone too??

Being tired definitely makes my anxiety worse and my physical symptoms of anxiety worse too....but anxiety also doesn't allow me to sleep...so my anxiety is pretty bad right now

YES! I get worse in just about every way when I am tired. I get more symptoms, plus I worry more about the symptoms because my mind is just too tired to fight it. That cycles and I end up getting MORE tired and staying up worrying, and it gets worse and worse. It's definitely "normal" to feel worse when you are tired.
