Been about a week and a half to two weeks since I last got a full nights sleep. Am seeing my family doctor tomorrow to discuss, but am really afraid because I get sort of manicky when extremely tired, and know that a few days of no sleep can contribute to a trip to the hospital.|||Do you already have a mental illness? If so, lack of sleep will aggravate it.
Google sleep hygiene and follow that advice, from reputable sleep centers. RARELY are medications recommended. Consider a referral to a sleep disorder specialist. I just had a sleep study to check for stuff because my bipolar is so bad and untreatable for 20 years now, the psychiatrist is trying to see if anything else may be underlying it. The sleep specialist said that sleep disorders can cause diabetes and heart failure and all kinds of other stuff. But you know, that's years of having it. So for you, if you already have serious mental illness, that's your main concern, that you will temporarily aggravate it.
