What happens to the body during sleep deprivation?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Prevention: Not being able to sleep may indicated sleep problems that can be life shortening or life threatening. Daytime sleepiness, fatigue, lack of focus and energy are a few noticeable symptoms. The only way to know if there are serious problems is with an overnight sleep test. I encourage you to seek help.
