Can sleep deprivation cause twitching & anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We need REM sleep: (rapid eye movement - dream sleep) to blow off psychological stress. W/out it we become anxious and short-tempered, even hallucinate if deprived long enough. See your doc or a mental health professional to address your sleep deprivation. Peace and good health.
