Anyone ever gone without a nights sleep?

Can it harm you of you miss a nights sleep?

Missing a nights sleep isn't going to harm you, but you don't want it to continue - mainly because it makes your anxiety much worse the next day! There's lots of tips on getting a good nights sleep online - my big tip is camomile tea. Its a natural sedative and has always helped me drop-off.

It will only harm you in the sense that you feel very tired the next day! Did you find you couldn't sleep because of worrying about something? I hate that, I get it all the time when my anxiety is bad.

It will make you anxiety much worse as your brain will struggle yo cope without sleep. Why did you miss a night's sleep?

When my Grandmother was dying I had 20 minutes sleep from Saturday morning to Tuesday afternoon - I just got swollen ankles!

I would recommend to anyone suffering from anxiety or panic disorder this book- MINDFULNESS PLAIN & SIMPLE BY OLI DOYLE. In it it gives details of ten free audio downloads.

Hi, I went a week with only 2-3 hours sleep because of anxiety symptoms and I felt like crap after. It wouldn't kill you but the aftermath is not pretty. I think if it happens too often it can cause health problems.
