Yes, According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine adults need on average 7 hours of REM sleep to maintain optimal health, anything less than that can have negative side effects such as anxiety and depression. As always, wishing you well.

Sleep deprivation can cause a host of medical and emotional issues, including anxiety. Having good sleep is part of managing anxiety. However, anxiety can also impact sleep onset, quality, and duration.
