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.
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!
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 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 com/articles/sleep-science/sleep-deprivation-symptoms/ You may also be suffering a bit of actual depression from this current work situation. Do start tracking your bp daily though. Three times a day, random times, take your bp and write it down. Relax when doing it, feet flat on ground, arm at heart level and think peaceful thoughts. That's the first step to addressing borderline blood pressure.
Avatar m tn I already suffer from chronic sleep deprivation from several sleep disorders- this anxiety is the worst- wont let me sleep at all!! Help please. What can I do to help with the terrible anxiety??
Avatar m tn Sleep deprivation can cause that, make sure you get enough sleep.
Avatar n tn There not sure why warm milk help sleep as tryptophan only helps with the initial cycle of sleep but can disrupt deep sleep, but you may want to try it to help you get to sleep initially just only drink a small glass. There is something called Lactium in milk which relaxes infants but there is an all natural medication called dreamerz food that contains a consentrated amount of Lactium(enough for an adult) along with melatonin that has gotten alot of great attention.
Avatar m tn I already was struggling with poor sleep due to sleep apnea that was undiagnosed at the time. At work my responsibilities increased and I was constantly rehashing in my mind the various decisions I had to make in selecting and writing specs for a data management software conversion. Then an extended family member was killed in the military and I had to plan the local service while the parents were out of state at the memorials on the base.
Avatar n tn There can be reduced quality of sleep or improper depth of level of sleep due to stress or work load, the subsequent overall body performance reduce considerably. Hence, sleep deprivation should be prevented, maintain sleep hygiene, mental relaxation exercise will help you. You need to go for morning exercises and work out which will make you fresh and active all day and tiredness at the end of day will help you to induce sleep naturally. I hope this information helps you.
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, you may be probably having Circadian rhythm disorders. Due to long term sleep deprivation in night time or delay in sleep will lead to excessive day time sleep or sleepiness, tiredness, loss of concentration and even dizziness. This usually has happened due to change in normal sleep-wake cycle. There can be associated stress, anxiety, depression. Even generalized disease or conditions can cause such symptoms; hence this needs to be ruled out.
Avatar n tn Get a copy of your sleep test results and make sure that you are spening about 30% of the night in REM sleep and a large amount in Deep sleep. During REM sleep vital bio-chemical reations occur and it is the rest for your brain. Deep Sleep is the portion of sleep where your body rests.
Avatar f tn (still dealing with it, right now i am suffering from severe sleep deprivation and some really wierd symptoms like confusion, memory loss, severe inattention, etc.....look up zyprexa side effects and withdrawal, it can do some really messed up stuff to you. But on the other hand, not everyone reacts that way.
Avatar m tn Chronic sleep deprivation can cause crazy symptoms including much of what you describe (dizziness, double vision). In fact, get a referral to a sleep specialist at a university hospital if you can. Sleep deprivation will do a number on your Nervous system, cardiovascular system etc. I turned out to have mixed sleep apnea -- some obstructive but also sleep onset central apnea. It got to the point where I was getting no sleep -- The moment I fell asleep, I stopped breathing.
667078 tn?1316000935 What is the theory behind that? I know that mild sleep deprivation makes my head (dizziness and fog, not depression in my case) feel a lot better. In fact, it's the only thing that does.
774736 tn?1311331385 I was diagnosed with GAD earlier this year and have gone through horrific panic attacks, agoraphobia, and many other anxiety related nightmares but lately Ive been struggling with sleep deprivation...Every day for the past couple months I have not been able to sleep at a reasonable hour...I have to completely exaust myself to finally get to sleep and before I do, I go through a period of feeling "under the influence", as if im drunk or high...
Avatar n tn vegetarian (i eat dairy), low iron, work midnight shift, usually get about 4-5 hrs of sleep during the day, if Im lucky. Could sleep deprivation cause any of this? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/251821'>purple lips</a>.
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 n tn , a feeling of restriction around his chest like a tight band and worsened feeling of air deprivation on lying down to sleep. This has eventuated in him, some nights being unable to sleep at all. Sometimes he is about to fall asleep while propped up with several pillows but then he is jerked to full consciousness. He has also experienced a pounding heart on a couple of these occasions which has also prevented him from sleeping.
Avatar f tn I would definitely seek a urology consult as well, because the bladder issues alone can cause sleep deprivation, and sleep deprivation can cause a lot of neurological havoc! There are medications that you can help you with just bladder; likewise there is a pain medication that also reduces bladder frequency. Additionally, I think a sleep study is in order.
Avatar m tn I don't know how long you've experienced this, but I've heard that with a lack of good sleep for a long time, that lack of sleep can be "made up" by excessive sleep. But excessive sleep often causes one to be tired throughout the day. Idk what you can do though...
