Avatar f tn html You could also be having rhythmic movement disorder. I suggest you to consult a neurologist and a sleep specialist and get evaluated. Take care.
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.

1457220 tn?1285503511 Hi, 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, which happens due to change in normal sleep-wake cycle. This is termed as hypersomnia of central origin. If stress is present, you need to go for relaxation exercises.
1926359 tn?1331588139 I agree with GA...call the doctor for some help. Sleep deprivation is horrible and it's just going to keep wearing you down. Yes. It's very normal for some to have a sleep problem 7 days in. It's awful, I know...Go out and get the Alteril (I know they have it at Walgreen's). Stay up all day and do as much as you can physically. Then go through all the bed preparations early (6 or 7 pm).
Avatar m tn ) I have taken a number of different sleep aids; Ambien, Melatonin, and drugs for the side effect of sleep; Trazodone, Geodon, and others. I now work over nights at my job and many days I don't need to take the two I am still prescribed (Ambien and Trazadone) to sleep.

Avatar f tn Try melatonin instead of unison, it is a chemical the brain already produces to help you sleep. Start off with 1mg and see if it works. You can take up to 5ml a night.
Avatar n tn Is there anything I can do to get it out and help me sleep. I do not recommend this drug for anyone and it seems to be the new anesthesia drug.
Avatar m tn Hi, welcome to the forum, dementia can be associated with the sleep disorders. They usually have a shallow sleep - mostly stage 1 and 2 - and are easily awakened. They also have trouble turning in bed, and i also associated with restlessness in bed. Sometimes patients may be awakened by choking episodes at night that are triggered by sleeping on their backs. These can be effectively treated by addition of dopamine agonist dose against prescription at bedtime.
Avatar m tn hey i have a question, a couple of weeks ago i wrote a post that was talking about how i thought i overdosed on cocaine and it turned out it was just a panic attack, and this weekend i didnt really get any sleep and was drinking till 4 am and woke up at 9 am and now i had one of those panic attack agains, do you think its all in my head or what? or is it sleep deprivation?
326352 tn?1310994295 how do you EVER get enough sleep? And of course, the diet gurus all say that adequate sleep is so important. How do you do that with 2 babies who are alternating their wake-ups....sleep restlessly (in our bed, they don't start there, but end up there around midnight)...and God love them, keep mommy from getting a good night's sleep. Vegas was good for the sleep, but 2 nights back at the house and my butt is dragging the ground. Is there a happy medium somewhere?
Avatar n tn I was treated for Hepatritis C over 4 years ago and have been suffering with Chronic Major Depression, anxiety, fatigue and a host of aches and pains. Just recently I have been given a sleep study and I had very little REM and many sleep apnea episodes, My Pulmonologist has ordered another sleep study using C-pap. I am hoping that my side effcts are actually symptoms of sleep apnea.
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 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 s not much she can do to totally escape the sensory overload. Young people are amazingly resilient and some go all thru college with inadequate and irregular sleep. But if she indicates the being stuck scenario, suggest she modify her schedule for a few days and arrange a few hours here and there of total down time. Remind her that sleep is critical to her cognitive abilities and memory, and to be kind to herself so that her body and mind are equipped to handle a busy lifestyle.

Avatar f tn Sleep deprivation and sleep disorders can impact our health in a major way. Cognitive ability can be impacted and yes, I'm sure headaches can be triggered. I had not heard about a correlation with alzheimers. In reading about that, it's a little confusing. I guess many with alzheimers do have disturbed circadian rhythm. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4351409/ I don't know if it causes it but is more just part of it though.

Avatar f tn Sleep is a necessity, without it, you are going to get much worse, mentally. The sleep deprivation will feed the anxiety, and when the hallucinations start (and they will without sleep), you will be more fearful than ever. That's why it is SO important for you to seek some help, urgently. While you're waiting to see a doctor, try napping during the day, when you feel less fearful. If you have to, lie down and refuse to allow yourself to get back up until you get some sleep.
