what are the effects of sleep deprivation on the human mind/body and do you you get enough (sleep)?


Question:


Answers:
I started hallucinating through lack of sleep. And when I did eventually go to sleep and I had really bad dreams.
My mind was in a constant turmoil and I could not concentrate. And even to this day it is still a mystery to me how I coped at work and managed to get through the day.

I never gave my own sleep patterns much thought, that was until I went into hospital to have an operation on my back. My brain had been so deprived of sleep that I went into a deep spiral of depression after the operation, (though there were other reasons as well) but basically my brain could not cope with it.

The effects on my body were as such that I developed the shakes and lost a great deal of weight. So much so that I had to take early retirement from work.

I am much better now, but I would say to anyone who does not sleep much (like I would stay up all night some nights to write reports and prepare for meetings) to get help before it becomes a monster that is out of control.
It makes you want to visit Yahoo!Answers and waste your precious sleep time even more. No, I don't get enough sleep because I'm too busy answering these questions!
