A member asked:
How many years is considered long-term sleep deprivation? what is the best way to reverse it after many years of lack of sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep deprivation: takes its toll in days and weeks, not only years. You likely need a sleep study to see what is going on. Your family doctor can arrange it. Peace and good health.
