Does anxiety make you sleepy?

[frog22]

Ive read in the symptoms list that it causes insomnia but for me I often want l to just lie down and stay asleep. Sometimes for 9-10 hours but I don't quite get 8 every night, so some of that's just me catching up. I get very realistic dreams too, usually I have to remind myself who I am and where Im at anytime I wake up anymore. Thoughts?

Me too. Although, when I'm very anxious, I wake up panicking and wondering where I am and what I'm late for.

Maybe it's a kind of escapism? Or also depression?

I am always sleepy. Laying in bed is what i look forward to most these days. I think its because i hate my job so much.

I've been falling asleep on my living couch lately after dinner, which is out of the ordinary for me. My muscles after a day's worth of anxiety feel like they've been through the mill. It's not a painful feeling they have, they feel as if I'm getting over an illness or something. I can't quite describe it.
