Sleep anxiety...is that OCD??

[grayday23]

I haven't looked it up, but is there such a thing??

If I have to be up early the next day for something, I cannot sleep....and if I do, my heart is racing and I wake up every hour on the hour and look at the alarm clock (and go number 1)....I HATE IT....I always think I'll be late or my alarm clock won't wake me up, I double check the alarm to make sure it's set...it's soooooo annoying....sometimes I would just force myself to stay awake just because I was afraid I wouldn't wake up or because I knew sleep would not happen......this has been happening for years....last night it happened because I needed to be up by 11am, so I didn't get to bed last night until 6am and only got like 4 hrs of sleep because I kept waking up....ugghhh...I swear, it seems as though my anxiety affects all aspects of my life, even my sleep...the one thing i enjoy.....it's not fair.....sorry to complain....I'm having anxiety right now, just needed to vent.
