It sounds like you are experiencing some kind of onset of anxiety and possibly anger. It may well be that the two are very much connected. When we begin to experience anger that comes out of a deep well of repression, we can find that this reexperiencing of anger becomes in itself an extremely uncomfortable and therefore worrying process.

The combination of the agitation of anger and the alarm of anxiety might account for the fact that you can't sleep very well and that you are finding it hard to stay in one spot. Naturally without having a very much sleep your find a hard to get up in the morning. Unfortunately, a lack of sleep only serves to heighten your levels of adrenalin in your body which will already be over stimulated due to the anxiety that you are feeling. Additionally, one of the best way to process the body is emerging emotions that actually having to do very much as to allow the unconscious mind to work through its own problems in the deep dreams of your sleep.

One excellent antidote to these symptoms is to take some strenuous physical exercise. This has the effect of discharging the adrenalin in your body and also tiring you out so that the mind itself has less energy to spin around and around and around. Both of these will give you a better chance of getting a good night's sleep.

Turning to the reasons why you would be experiencing a sudden onset of anger and accompanying anxiety, I'd like to try to explain this to you and terms of the trauma stored in your body from your childhood experiences in life. I've explained this at length in a previous question so perhaps it is best just to refer you to the topic headed Low Esteem

All the best.
