Very interesting & insightful perspective here! I have a sleep disorder in which I want to sleep allllll the time, literally I'd only wake up for food if I could. I finally found the right treatment for it about 2 months ago, and I've noticed I've been experiencing more anxiety since then. I had attributed it to the changes in my life that have been going on lately, or maybe the new medication; but perhaps it's due to the fact that now I'm awake to face all of it instead of just immediately falling asleep like I would before! Very interesting thought prompt, thanks! I want to do more reading on this theory now
