No Sleep in Five Years
I'm going on five years without sleep. I don't sleep at all, and the strange thing is I don't get tired. It all started when I received a shot from a mental care facility and my eyes zapped. I tried all kinds of medicine to invoke sleep but nothing works. They say you can't go ten days without sleep or you would die, when I've gone five years and am still alive. Does anyone know of any sleep study places that could help me?
When you say you don't sleep, do you mean no naps, too? I am going through this and it's so scary. I told people that I am not tired and they didn't believe me. I am so stressed because I really don't want to rely on the pills prescribed by my doctor. I want to natuarlly heal. It happened all of a sudden and I have no time to react. It's been nearly 2 weeks for me. Everyday, I thought things would get better, but it didn't. I feel so depressed and hopeless. I wonder if things have improved for you.
I have a psychiatrist. He’s been prescribing me medicines. Nothing works. I just did a sleep study. It said I slept four hours. I didn’t. I was on the phone playing candy crush the whole time and watching the tv they had. Yeah, I would think there would be some heightened interest in my case as I’ve broken all records… which I’m not proud of. It’s getting maddening without sleep. It all happened from a shot I was given. This should not happen to anyone. But I researched around and found two others that has the same affliction. Weird but true.
I hope you get some input from others here and that you the help you need,

That is a very long time to go without any sleep at all,
. I would think most any neurologist would be curious to see you and figure out what is going on. Have you seen any doctors since this happened? If so, what have they said? Thinking of you and wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
