I should explain I'm no doctor, but I went through years--decades even-- of depression mixed in with anxiety/ restlessness before going on a med used for bipolar that instantly fixed (at the time) my racing thoughts that were happening same time I was too tired to do Anything.
Do yourself a favor and if you feel ok mentally, can function, can get to sleep, and this isn't a pattern, don't worry too much unless you can't sleep. As relieved as I am I can function better, sometimes we as society are too quick to judge simple youthful energy as a mental disorder, really. A tired brain isn't at it's best and it's sometimes easy to forget that caffeine we take when tired really can induce anxiety. So skip on that if you are taking it to stay awake, and try n get some good sleep!
Edit:
Missed the part about this being a pattern. Are you anxious or agitated or both? If cutting down on caffeine doesn't help, yes, maybe time to let dr know to take this seriously. My agitation began in my late 20's, due to meds. Some meds for depression can induce hypo mania in people predisposed to bipolar. Lack of sleep won't help. Be sure and discuss with dr any meds you are on. It saddens me when people have medically induced hypo mania and don't realize that's avoidable with the proper medicine. Good luck!
