What's the worst that can happen to a highly anxious person that has not slept well in a few days? :/
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You'll get tired: Sleep deprivation can lead to many problems including irritability, tiredness, and poor concentration. If truly not sleeping for several days, you can become more anxious and even hallucinate. If you're bipolar or have seizures, ongoing insomnia can worsen these conditions. Longer term insomnia can also be related to weight gain.
