1926359 tn?1331588139 Sounds like you might have been taking the meds for fibromyalgia. When all is said and done, sleep deprivation is the result of these drugs disrupting your brain's chemistry. When you first take them they may work for a few days but then as time goes by, not only does your body become tolerant to the drugs, they make your brain think it no longer needs to produce its own natural chemicals which control the sleep/wake cycle.
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 f tn I do suffer with rheumatism in most areas knee, neck, spine and hip, but have aching shoulders, legs, calves, hands and I suffer with headaches, extreme tiredness, together with irritability and larthagy due to sleep deprivation. Can anyone give me any advice on this please.
Avatar f tn t like it and it seems like my personality is changing. I have been trying to stay calm, but all of my worry, stress, and sleep deprivation from my Fibromyaligia is really causing me to become very irritable very fast anymore. Could it be coming from my sleep deprivation or my stress? Or is it possible that it could be coming from whatever is causing my many other problems?
Avatar f tn Personally no, my mother who's tried just about everything over the years (she has mental health issues) has said many a time, that she finds floating tanks very relaxing and often recommends it for de-stressing and relaxing general muscle aches. Sensory deprivation tanks can cause people to experience visual hallucinations, panic attacks, and trigger claustrophobia so float tanks are not such a good idea, if those issues are already problematic.
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.
1373852 tn?1307843048 Food intolerances are also felt to be culprits. Sleep deprivation or bad sleep is felt to be a potential cause. Or maybe these are catalysts, rather than pure causes. Again, as far as I know, there's no conclusive evidence of a cause or even what the disease is -- it's defined by its symptoms, not by anything else. Best to treat it if you have it than puzzle over the cause, since you can't go back and undo it, but I've seen people get stronger through great effort.
Avatar m tn Your symptoms of muscle twitching can be due to excessive stress, anxiety, sleep deprivation, chronic fatigue syndrome which occurs after a severe viral infection, and fibromyalgia. I would suggest you to take it easy for the next few days and make sure you get adequate amounts of sleep. Take care!
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...
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 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.
Avatar m tn 30 or so, only getting around 4 hours of sleep. I tried to get back to sleep but the people around me were up and keeping me awake. After a while of me laying in bed, everyone left except one friend, and me and him layed around all day being too tired to do anything, but not wanting to sleep the day away. That whole day I felt pretty normal.

Sleepwalking occurs usually early in the night and usually don’t remember their actions, also may be difficult to awaken, and usually feel confused or disoriented upon being awakened.
Avatar m tn 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.
