    Waking up with anxiety after 3-5 hours of sleep is because you are building up cortisol (stress hormone) levels while you sleep to the point where they wake you up. See a counselor and a doctor. You need both of you want lasting improvements. I have a rather severe anxiety disorder, waking up anxious in the middle of the night was once a nightly ritual, now it’s pretty rare, only when something particularly anxiety inducing is going on.
