Yes, I thought something like 'become increasingly impatiently' would suit. I wasn't sure because probably it was an expression or something...

Hello Mav

'Become increasingly impatiently' is incorrect. 'Become/Grow + adjective' is a normal construct.

Enjoy your spring day.

Can I say: I will grow impatient if I was to go back to when I was 10 years old.
