sleep deprivatio ca: Sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations. Please get help asap if you cannot sleep. If sleep apnea is present, the loss of oxygen can cause hallucinations as well. Make sure you are also tested for b12, thyroid, folate, (folic acid) lyme's and anything else your doctor can think of that may pertain, including substance abuse.Best wishes.
