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 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 f tn Then you also need to investigate other causes of brain fog like liver dysfunction (get liver enzymes done—liver function test), kidney dysfunction (get kidney function test done), and anemia. Poor sleep pattern and sleep problems like sleep apnea too can cause brain fog. Sleep studies by sleep specialists can help diagnose this.Low Vit D or Vit B12 too could be the cause.
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...
Avatar n tn Sleep deprivation definitely has something to do with it, though this sounds more like migraines or daily headaches. Your sleep/wake schedule is controlled by a small gland attached to your brain--the pineal gland. It releases a chemical that makes you sleepy, melatonin, based upon your exposure to natural light.
Avatar f tn Your condition also needs to be differentiated from Sleep deprivation wherein it is milder form. The initial steps you need to take is sleep hygiene education, stimulus control, relaxation, sleep restriction, cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, phototherapy, and chronotherapy. These therapies can be prescribed by clinicians at any level but it can be better implemented by sleep specialist.
Avatar m tn Hi and welcome, The symptoms you've mentioned are very non specific, too wide spread, random, all peripherals which are not the types of symptom pattern that is suggestive or consistent with a neurological condition like MS. Its not uncommon to experience higher stress levels when significant life altering events are happening, the closer the event the higher the anxiety.

Avatar n tn These symptoms could be due to a pinched nerve as mentioned or can also be due to peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes or B12 deficiency. Other possibilities include bad neck posture while sitting; sleep deprivation, excessive fatigue and anxiety. Please relax and do some neck exercises and take a multivitamin supplement. 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...
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.
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?
