It doesn't help mine at all. I understand completely what you're saying. If I don't get enough sleep, I feel sick and lightheaded, really disoriented. So I think being in that state heightens my anxiety. I feel like I can't function that well. It's all related but I love sleep lol so this doesn't happen for me a lot.
Does lack of sleep make you anxious or trigger panic attacks?

I'm not sure if I feel worst or if less sleep doesn't bother me. But if I get disturbed from sleep every night it really bothers me. I already don't like to hear anyone when I wake up(unless it's music) and being disturbed from someone's voice EVERY night is not good for me. I don't want to do anything crazy but I can't control what my mind thinks. So, I don't think it's healthy that I share a room with someone.
The voices disturbs me as much as a piece of paper would. I guess I'm a light sleeper.

yeah for some reason a lack of sleep makes it worst for me.like right now i can't sleep because of anxiety of knowing i have to go to work tomorrow.so its like i'll be up worrying and knowing my day is not going to be fun.man i wish i could fall asleep right now 
For me I'm usually much less anxious if I don't sleep much or at all and I never sleep before a job interview or some other important thing that's anxiety-triggering. When I first started my job I slept about ten hours the first week...the only thing is, if I've gone for too long without getting enough sleep I start to get really tense and on edge and then my anxiety is WAY worse....usually leading to panic attacks. So sleep deprivation works for me in small doses.
It's weird, when i was in college, I would pull all-nighters a lot to finish projects and papers, and going to class in the morning was amazing, like i felt no anxiety at all.

I average maybe 6hours a night....if I get 5 or less Im SUPER on edge the rest of the day...panic attacks can be set off so much easier! I think its crazy to think it somehow helps

I get worse with sleep deprivation. Paranoia/anxiety/depression is usually at its worst when I'm awake for over 24 hours.

If I'm awake for several hours, I start getting sleepy and less anxious.
But if my sleep is interrupted after like, 4, 5 hours, I get very anxious, more than normal.
