According to Bel Marra Health, sleep deprivation and irregular sleep patterns can trigger symptoms of schizophrenia.
If a healthy person goes without sleep for 24 hours, this can trigger symptoms similar to schizophrenia. The researchers from the University of Bonn, Germany, and King’s College in London, U.K., suggest that the findings should be examined further, especially for those who work during the night.
During psychosis, there is a loss of reality, which is associated with hallucinations and delusions. The chronic version of this is known as schizophrenia, which is also associated with the hearing of voices in one’s head. Professor Dr. Ulrich Ettinger said, “”It was clear to us that a sleepless night leads to impairment in the ability to concentrate. But we were surprised at how pronounced and how wide the spectrum of schizophrenia-like symptoms was.”
My husband has schysophrenia,he chooses to not sleep for sometimes a whole day night and part of next. Can you please tell me if this is why he goes off the deep end? Not a lot but enough. He won’t listen to me when I tell him that the reason he does it is because he doesn’t sleep.i would like to show him concrete proof. If anyone could help me, I’d be forever grateful.
