The more sleep deprived you get, the worse your symptoms will be. Please get more sleep. You won't doe in your sleep and if you do, you won't know about it anyway. Get sleep. Take magnesium before bed this will help with sleep. A completely non anxious person can be made to have anxiety and panic attacks just by regularly depriving them of sleep.

im only 16 its just to much stress

[Vbee in reply to Jamescrider]

Go see you doctor luv. Why are you scared to sleep? You are safe in your bed. When you sleep your body and mind rests and repairs. Your immune system kicks into gear so you need to sleep. See if your mum or dad will sleep next to you. I have a 15 year old son and if he were feeling what you're feeling i would sleep with him and hug him tight and stroke his head. You're too young to deal with this on your own. Tell your parents your brothers or sisters grandparents. Get that safe feeling because sleep is a life giving thing. Hugs
