can sleep deprivation kill you

Do you think you can call your doctor? I think you may need a different sleep med. Something else would work. When I am sleep deprived and can't fall asleep (I've not gone as long as you have) I turn on an audiobook or go on the computer to New Life Live, the call-in counseling show and listen. I can steam it on my computer. Also, I listen to live meetings. There are lots of UA (under earners anonymous meetings from now till noon). I dial in and listen to the meeting.

Talk to your dr about what you can take to sleep. Mine gave me sleeping pills. I take hald of one and sleep so well. Don't take them every night just if I haven't slept well for a few nights I will take one.. your dr might give you something and its worth asking them about it.

As a teenager I went through a year of sleep deprivation. I got about six hours of sleep a night. I felt very sleepy every day and even had feelings of confusion and derealization. Did I cause any permanent damage to my brain? In addition, has damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals irreversibly increased my cancer risk?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is unlikely to cause hallucinations, but and they can occur with certain medications, stress, sleep deprivation, in certain brain disorders and with schizophrenia or bipolar disorders. So, like you mentioned sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations. But if they persist, I would advise you to discuss your symptoms with your primary care physician for further evaluation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I know that some of the side effects include sweats and sleep deprivation that can last up to 6 wks. but have not heard of this after a one time use. Have you consulted your pcp?

NO IT CAN'T KILL YOU I've been there and still am in the same place but anxiety can not kill u

Hopefully there is someone there you can ask to give you some perspective on her state of mind, and if needed, look out for her around the clock till your wife can get there. But hopefully by the time you are reading this she has been able to sleep and is doing better. The sleep piece is so important. Best wishes.

I have been living with a host of menopausal symptoms for over two years now (hot flashes, sweats, chronic insomnia, mood swings, migraines, exhaustion, you name it) and I feel the lack of sleep is severely affecting my overall mood at this point and causing great tension between myself and my family. I cannot seem to get my estrogen leveled out (try everything natural, no interest in drugs or hormones) and nothing seems to work right now.

t fix the sore boobs and cramping lol, but works wonders for the sleep deprivation. I know Conner will sleep good later on because he gets circumsized today, so I can always nap when the kids do. My boobs on the other hand...KILL lol I am finally engorged, and I found that out when hubby accidently elbowed my boob in my sleep....tell ya what, I wasn't asleep long lol. I tried nursing, and he just isn't doing it.

You could try to sleep with the lights on.If you can't fall a sleep because of the light try to reduce the light in the room untill you find the perfect combination of light. I wouldn't advice you to take pills before trying to talk to a psychologist.Maby your fears has a deeper root and if you find that root you will be free of your fears.Just by talking.

Also, if you are taking any new meds, you may want to check if they can affect sleep. Also, some medical disorders can affect sleep, as in thyroid issues. Did your doctor run any tests? The increased desire to eat is common in those lacking sleep. Has something to do with an imbalance of the appetite hormones. Also, when your body craves sleep and can't get it, a desperate desire for energy can cause a misplaced desire for food.

It's possible. Sleep deprivation causes a generalized nervous system excitability which can manifest in various muscle twitches and spasms. Mirapex (which is also used for Parkinson's) acts in your central nervous system to control your nervous system problems. Did you ever treat your sleep apnea? And if so, how was it treated?

Apparantly, a thick build up of mucus can be caused due to the lack of ample fluids. Your diet can also be a cause, with certain foods aiding in its production. If you smoke, and the mucus is grey/brownish, then that would be your problem. It may even turn out to be an environmental issue as mine did. Do you have less trouble when going on holiday, etc? If that's the case then it might be something in the home thats causing it.

So, do you think that I have any of the above or do you think that most of this can be counted off as anxiety, caffeine, and sleep deprivation? Please talk to me about this for I am always scared even though every time I go to talk to someone about it they are confident it's just anxiety.

You sound to me like you are suffering the effects of sleep deprivation. Is there any way you could get yourself into a more regular schedule by any chance. If not, then you will just have to do what helps you the most. But I would talk tot he doctor about the Adderol. Are you officially diagnosed as ADHD or do you think you are ADHD b/c you cannot focus well? I need more clarification.
