Can sleep deprivation really cause all these symptoms?
Sleep deprivation over a long period puts us into an alternate reality, that’s one of the dangers of it. Neither the body or the mind can function normally. You can expect every symptom you’ve listed and worse, including delusions, psychosis, amnesia, and dissociation. Don’t step into bipolar quickly. It is a serious, life altering disorder with no cure. It can ruin opportunities of higher education and employment. Can destroy the quality of life normal people enjoy. Listen to your Psychiatrist. Take a sleeping pill and get regular, wholesome sleep.
