Symptoms of Sleep Deprivation

If you suspect that you may have sleep
deprivation, seek help immediately.
Sleep deprivation should not be left
untreated. If untreated you could be
putting yourself and your family at
risk.

Sleep deprivation is something that can
be improved. However in order to seek
help for improvement you must be able
to recognize the symptoms. Some of the
most common symptoms are:

. Tiredness

. Irritability and nervousness

. Inability to tolerate stress

. Problems with concentration and memory

. Behavioral learning or social problems

. Frequent infections

. Blurred vision

. Rage of discomfort

. Change in appetite

. Lack of tolerance

When you suffer from exhaustion or
fatigue your emotional state of mind is
affected. This means you could be
experiencing feelings of sadness,
anger, stress and mood swings all for
no apparent reason.

The brain’s frontal cortex relies on
sleep to function correctly. Without
enough sleep the frontal cortex’s
ability to control speech, access
memory and solve problems is affected.
When it’s needed to solve a problem for
you it is unable to do so. Sleep
deprivation should be taken seriously
as it can become a life threatening
situation.
