A member asked:

I can't sleep its been 36 hours since my last sleep. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What's causing it?: Two things: 1) see a physician to get medication to help you sleep; 2) ask the physician to help you understand why you can't sleep. Causes such as a hormone issue with your thyroid gland, substance use [eg, cocaine], bipolar disorder, and stress are some possibilities among many. Hope this answer helps.

A member asked:

If I only got 4 hours or less of sleep last night, how would I feel that day? Obviously tired, but could only have 4 hours of sleep cause any other physical symptoms?
