Hi! So im new to this subreddit cuz i never had any major anxiety issues except some social anxiety when I started University. I think it all changed real quick this year and I cant for the life of me rationalize why this happened.

So starting this year I took a full time job along with full time university. Its been going well for the most part and I havent had any anxiety at all. The problem is I cant sleep at all, even though Im tired af. I usually sleep at 1am to wake up at 8am but as soon as I go to bed my heart pounds like im having a panic attack and I get shortness of breath. 

This is happening to me increasingly frequently starting with once a week a month ago and now, practically everyday. I average around 5-6h of sleep now with some days with only 3-4h. This is something I cant afford because my workload during the day is so high(9am-10pm) that I get tired even if I have full 7h sleep. I like this heavy workload though dont get me wrong, I just want to sleep and I think this problem has to do with some anxiety thing considering the pounding chest that used to have when experiencing social anxiety.

If you have any solutions, please please share I cant keep doing this.
