It depends on the person and what the relationship with their anxiety is. For many people different relationships exist. Anxious thoughts can lead to restless sleep for example, while we’re still able to fall asleep if we don’t have anxious thoughts present in our minds when trying to sleep.

The result is that some people feel tired during waking hours while others don’t because it seems like they’re not getting enough sleep. When you miss over one night of sleep (e.g., 6 hours instead of 8), decreased production since the last night helps make up for what you missed this night without knowing it, so sometimes people either get really rested or really sleepy when they finally waken up, even if they felt terrible before sleeping-in.
