Exhausted after 9 hours sleep.

I am in my third week of anxiety/panic attacks and it is getting worse. Why am i so tired after so much sleep? I feel exhausted but cant sleep now even if i try. Its scaring me. Is this normal?

I'm tired no matter how much I sleep, I top have slept for 9 hours and been shattered the next day. I mentioned this to my doctor as it is seriously gotten out of hand (my daughter has been late for school 20 times this year!) and he basically said there's not much you can do about it. I think he implied that once my depression/anxiety gets better, so will my sleep patterns. So never....

It's because there are different types of sleep and at the moment you aren't getting enough of the right kind. Worrying and thinking you will never get there is really counter-productive. You need to trust your body that it will do what it needs. And eventually it will.
