I may have uars. I'm trying a mask to see if that is what is continuing to give me only light sleep, no deep sleep, and only 2% rem!!

Have any of you had insomnia as well? Gone days and days without sleep? Do you feel it effected your iq? Imagination? personality? HAve you had only light sleep for years and it has had those same negative effects?

I havent been the same since I went days without sleep. I never made up that sleep and continued for years to only get light sleep. After so many days without sleep, it was wierd. I didnt feel like a mom anymore. My voice became very monotone. My body has aged ALOT. I honestly dont have an imagination anymore. (I'm not just picking at myself or being a perfectionist. Its as if there is nothing there.) I find that when I speak, I use the same phrases as the people around me. I sound just like another person. I've lost my personality. My iq has lowered severely. I'm very gullable now. I totally misinterpret jokes, etc.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered anything as severe or similar. Like your whole personality changed from sleep loss? (I don't just mean you became crabby or irritable.) Please share anything at all similar in any way!

And I really want to know, once you started getting normal sleep, did the changes reverse themselves??
