Will I go crazy if I sleep less than six hours?

Question

I'm actually curious to know. Where I come from, it's a tradition to tell kids this to get them in bed for bedtime.

Answer 1

It will make you cranky, tired, sick, and weak.

Answer 2

The normal amount of sleep an adult should get is on average 7-8 hours, although this varies with the individual. For children, they need more sleep.
If sleep deprivation occurs only on one night, then it isn't usually too much of a problem, symptoms are mainly sleepiness and maybe irritability. If sleep deprivation is continued and prolonged symptoms such as hallucinations and even paranoia may occur.
Sleep deprivation affects individuals differently at physical as well as mental levels.
Studies have been carried out on sleep deprivation. An individual for example, did not sleep for several days and developed these wild hallucinations (as if he was dreaming whilst awake) and developed high paranoia. However, after this, he slept for 15 hours straight and was back to normal. But he had bad relationship problems (2 divorces) and his family and friends said that his personality had "changed".

Answer 3

You won,t go crazy, but your performance ability during the day can suffer greatly. If your a teen you need that extra sleep as much as 10 hours. As we grow older we exist on lower amounts of sleep. Lack of sleep is an invitation for a host of problems and depression is one of them. Lack of concentration as well. So do you want to be alert and happy? Get a good nights sleep.

Answer 4

As others here are saying, you can become really uncomfortable in a number of ways from insomnia or lack of sleep. And, yes, if you go long enough with little enough sleep, you can actually develop symptoms usually associated with schizophrenia such as hallucinations (seeing /hearing/ smelling/tasting things that are not actually present).

Answer 5

If you get too little sleep, and everyone is different, you become more irritable (argumentative); continually getting less sleep can lead to mental confusion and loss of concentration. It also leads to an inability to get to sleep because of irritability, anxity, and hyperactivity.

Answer 6

Curious will discover that sex all night long means no sleep and feeling refreshed in the morning. If you are stressed and depressed and cant sleep your aura is wrong for your group . You will have to stay awake when they sleep and sleep when they are awake.
