1082476 tn?1275617999 Hello Everybody! I had a meeting with my psychiatrist a few weeks ago to raise some sleep issues that I'd been having. The constant tiredness brought on by staying up until all hours of the morning had, I think, actually helped the suicidal thoughts, emptiness, tearfulness and misery that I'd been experiencing because I was too tired to focus on them.
Avatar n tn For the last 6 weeks he has been off work following an accident which in my view was a direct result of sleep deprivation. His employer (a large well known logistics firm) schedule drivers' shifts on a weekly basis bearing no similarity to the previous week, Shifts are quite different from one week to the next. Drivers may start at 3 am one week or even 1 pm the next and consequently they are required to adjust their sleeping patterns accordingly.
1926359 tn?1331588139 m going down by a third a week-the doc said this was ambitious but I really want to be free so there you have it. If I can get a few nights good sleep I will be prepared to deal with the sleep deprivation again....Ugh. So easy to put in your body...so hard to get out. Wish me luck with the sleep fairies tonight....
Avatar m tn Sleep Deprivation, Depression and stress are the things of which one of them can be responsible for My Memory Loss and Memory Problems. Just want to know if it caused by Neuron cell breakdown or something else for the mentioned reasons.
1794093 tn?1357930759 I definitely understand the sleep deprivation. It really ***** :( I work overnights and have a terrible time trying to sleep during the morning/afternoons. Im also up every hour, or hour and a half, then still manage to work/do things around the house. I always thought the 2nd trimester was supposed to be the best, sure i dont feel sick anymore, but this has been brutal for sleep. Thats exciting about your ultrasound coming up, and really exciting that you are not finding out the gender!
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn I am only 19 and was dx w/ Depression and anxiety disorder. Your symptoms are the same as mine only i have severe chest pains.. Just a question should i be super tired from this? Can being stressed and depressed make you lag around and always want to sleep?
Avatar f tn (2) I may be even experiencing some levels of depression-but is related to the sleep aids. Since my employer would punish me for taking any SSI and even the AMBIEN if discovered can a medication such as "Adderroll" help me focus more. Please help.
Avatar m tn Hey you guys, does cavernous hemangiomas cause sleep deprivation, sort of mixing your days a nights up? This symptom has kind of been bothering me before and after the substantial bleed! Also does personalities changes take place for example aggressive stubbornness, fits of anger, a overwhelming desire for solitude and depression?
Avatar f tn That in itself might be the cure. I have suffered sleep deprivation. The symptoms are a feast for a psychologist ignorant of the physical body.
1542305 tn?1293169772 Insufficient or poor quality sleep that leads to chronic sleep deprivation can skew dreaming. As my sleep deprivation worsened, so did my my dreaming as I was going to sleep. Still do it, but it is less glaringly odd to me now.
Avatar m tn Ask your doctor to order a sleep study. Sleep deprivation can cause all these symptoms. Good luck and blessings.
410281 tn?1254229064 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?
Avatar m tn I understand how you feel about the sleep deprivation. I went for week's on a few hrs. of sleep. That's part of the depression/anxiety. Give the zoloft a little more time, sleep will come, try not dwelling on it.
Avatar f tn These are typical symptoms of depression, but you need to see your doctor to rule out other causes first. If everything checks out okay then make an appt. to see a psychiatrist and go from there. I suggest a psychiatrist because they are most knowlegeable should you need medication to help with this. Let us know what you find out, we do care and understand. Best wishes!
603220 tn?1219915174 After all the questions your doctor asked and your replies, surely they recommended a sleep study? Sleep deprivation causes decreased libido and symptoms that look like depression, plus daytime sleepiness, fatigue, awaking unrefreshed. If you have some episodes that look like apnea that your boyfriend sees, there's likely many more he doesn't see, as he is either sleeping (or peeing). By the way, frequent nighttime urination can be a sign of sleep apnea. Maybe he needs checked too.
Avatar n tn I would recommend that you try to avoid being sleep-deprived in the future, if possible, and consult a doctor on treatment for postnatal depression. Depression can cause different types of sleep disturbances by dint of it affecting important neurotransmitters in your brain. Treatment of this will likely help stabilize your sleeping patterns.
