Question by Nymph: What are the short and long term effects of sleep deprivation?
Okay, so lately (well for quite a while) I have been experiencing sleep issues eg, not being able to sleep at all, getting one/two hours sleep at a ridiculous hour and having to do a ‘routine’ before being able to sleep. What I am asking is this: What are the short and long term effects of sleep deprivation? Also, if you have any extra information about sleep issues it would be great.

Thanks, a lot.

i don’t know about long term specifically, but after roughly 36-72 hours w/o sleep you should start to hallucinate.
