[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1132194, member: 85785"] I've suffered sleep deprivation. Had all the tests for apnia, luckily for me, it wasn't. It was the vivid dreams, and no I'm not making it up. We have a thread on it. Sleep disruption is common to RH. The vivid dreams are common to blood fluctuations. What happens is you fall asleep, then go into REM sleep, then dream and because your levels are fluctuating it causes your sub conscious to be very active and you rarely go into the fourth and the most restorative stage of deep sleep. This will affect you enormously. Lack of sleep, your brain fog worsens, the more anxious and so on. Fatigue, you don't sleep well. You don't get the restorative sleep, you are hungry, you eat more carbs, you create far too much insulin and you get as well as all the brain fug, you get the visceral fat increasing because of the excessive insulin. Yes, it takes time to develop all the symptoms and get into what I like to call my ' hypo hell'! It was well over a decade for me and I'm still not sure where and when my insulin overproduction started, could be much longer than that! The good thing is I've slept better since diagnosis and going into ketosis. I still have the odd adventure in dreamland. Some are worse than others. I think about the time I had my sleep spina test, I really didn't know or cared wether I was in real life or in dreamland! [/QUOTE]
