How sleep affects anxiety

Sleep deprivation increases anxiety sensitivity by up to 30% according to research. Even one night of poor sleep can elevate next-day anxiety. Tracking both reveals your personal threshold and helps you prioritize sleep as an anxiety management tool.

What to track daily

Log Sleep (bedtime, wake time, quality, interruptions) and Mental Health (mood level, anxiety severity, triggers) every day. After 2 to 3 weeks, compare your worst anxiety days against sleep data from the night before.
