In My Defense:
Typical Symptoms Of Lack of Sleep…
- Constantly Tired. Not your regular “Ive been working all day” kind of tired, but a constant, unwavering feeling of being physically exhausted.
- Irritability. The smallest things annoy and anger you, causing you to snap at friends, loved ones, or even complete strangers.
- Lack of Concentration. No matter what the task at hand is, you can’t seem to wrap your mind around it. The task could be as easy as choosing what you want for dinner, but for some odd reason, you’re incapable of even coming up with an idea.
- Memory Loss. Things that happened hours or even minutes ago are no longer present in your mind. You can vaguely recall events, but anything specific and you’re completely lost.
- Social Problems. Talking to people is almost impossible, as no one makes any sense to you, and you apparently are not understood by those around you.
- Stress Intolerance. Any type of stress, be it work related or personal, and you snap like a twig under the pressure.
- Appetite Changes. You either constantly feel like eating more or you constantly feel like you’re not hungry. Either way, it isn’t a normal feeling that have; which is why you may lose or gain weight during this period of lack of sleep.
