A member asked:
Can sleep deprivation (slept about 3 hrs total over 3 days) and/or stress cause me to hear voices?

Hmm, Let's see..Well: If you were hearing the voices BEFORE you lost all that sleep...then, Uhhh ...no...the insomnia has nothing to do with it. If you've never heard voices before, lost the sleep, & then, they started....then, possibly YES....especially if they're telling you to "GET SOME SLEEP ALREADY!" If after catching up with your sleep you're still hearing these darn things...then, you need a consultation.

Sometimes.: Humans can go without food for a lot longer period than water or sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation can cause altered perception but for the vulnerable, auditory or visual hallucinations can occur.
