Does sleep deprivation cause anxiety?
I've been feeling constantly anxious and irritable lately, and I'm hardly getting 4-5 hours of sleep due to work pressure. I'm wondering if there's a link. Can consistent lack of sleep actually cause anxiety?

Bilkul hota hai bhaiya. When I don't sleep well for two-three nights, my mind starts racing and I feel very restless the whole day. Good sleep is very important for peace of mind, so please try to sleep on time.

Yes, it is a very common trigger. When we sleep less, our nervous system stays on high alert, making us feel anxious over small things. Try keeping your phone away 30 minutes before bed, it really helps calm the brain down.

Honestly, this happens to me all the time and then I start worrying if something is seriously wrong with me. It becomes a bad cycle of less sleep and more panic. You are not alone in this, just try to take it easy.

Beta, at this age I have realized that half of our mental worries are just because of an tired body. In our time, we slept early and woke up fresh with no such anxiety. Give your body the rest it deserves, everything will look better.
