Five Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression

Changes In Sleep Patterns

Anxiety tends to have a very noticeable effect on your sleeping pattern. Both insomnia and oversleeping are very common signs of this mental health issue due to their effect on the brain and central nervous system. As a result, the condition would affect how alert and energized you feel the next day. In more serious cases, it may have negative effects on your daily lives, work, relationship, and study. Being kept from sleep due to an overly worrying, active mind or intentional oversleeping to escape worry are classic issues for people with anxiety or typical conditions. [5]
