Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Sleep study: Sorry if answered before. Occas shudder or twitch not unusual when passing through sleep cycles. A sleep study would be helpful to correlate with brain electrical activity, though it doesn't ring alarm bells for me. There are neurologists and sleep specialists here at HealthTap.

If you go a week with only getting 4-5 hours of sleep every night, how would that affect you mentally and physically? Could your digestive system be affected? And could your body have trouble regulating body temp?
