Can lack of sleep cause severe anxiety ? What can I ask my doctors to make them help?

I’m so tired all the time. I’m 16, I’ve had these issues since I was at least 13. I haven’t had a good nights sleep in years.

my doctor says it’s nothing, hasn’t run a ferritin check in at least a year and a half. doesn’t believe a sleep study or other blood tests are required.

told me to see a psychiatrist who gave me anxiety meds. the meds helped a lot with general anxiety but I am SO tired. I feel so awful all the time. I’m so tired that I feel as though I may faint. I just want sleep and I CANNOT get it. I can fall asleep okay, but I don’t stay asleep. idk what to do. I’m so restless. I dont think that I get more than 3/4 hours sleep per night.

i feel jittery and anxious constantly. I’m just so tired. I feel ill.

some of my family has sleep apnea.

anyone else experience thi? any advice on how to talk to my doctors? no one is helping this issue.
