Not getting enough shuteye can amplify the brain's anticipatory reactions, upping overall anxiety levels, according to new research.
And the effect is particularly pronounced among people who are nervous to begin with.
"What this study highlights is the importance of sleep for healthy emotional functioning," said Andrea Goldstein, who did the research at the Sleep and Neuroimaging Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. "And people who are highly anxious may actually be more vulnerable."

When I do not get enough sleep I can get very agitated. Other things happen as well. I think that pdocs and mdocs I have dealt with have tried to help but I probably got more help from tdocs.
