Does anyone have huge panic/anxiety when they sleep very little?

My situation basically, Its happened a few times now.
I have a part time job quite early in the morning in which I get up at 5am, There is the odd day where i cant sleep due to a bad belly or whatever and end up getting just 2 hours sleep.

What usually happens is I start my work and feel massively tired as expected, and halfway through it downspirals into full blown panic/anxiety attack.

I start to feel quite hot, and get intense butterflies in my stomach and have to take a minute or two and tell myself to stop. After that it usually ends..

I also must clench my teeth/jaw so hard and dont even notice it that my gums/teeth start to bleed.. Its hard to know what is going on when you are basically half asleep.

Does this sound familiar to anyone else??

I dont feel that bad if im indoors doing nothing without sleep.
