Barely sleeping

Baby is 4 weeks old. I am sleeping in total maybe 4 hours a day. Split up by 2 hrs in morn and 2 at night.. I’m completely exhausted but I cannot relax either. He wakes me up each time I fall asleep and now my anxiety level has gone up that I cannot fall asleep when I have time to sleep.. is this normal? :(

Yes it is normal that that he doesn't sleep for long at a time (it will improve soon) and that you will be completely shattered but it might not necessarily be normal that you are feeling anxious.
Do you have any help? Do you have a partner, family member or friend who's can look after the baby for a few hours while you sleep. I found that if I could get 4 hours in row I felt human!
