  Can a Lack of Sleep Cause Psychiatric Disorders?

  by Archer in

  ok where do i start.

  last year my mother-in-law (still a witness) fell ill, she seemed at least in begining kind of ok during the day but at night would go nuts, always needing something.

  my wife is the main person looking after her, i help when i can but my early rising means if i don't get enough of sleep i might as well stay at home or someone can get killed (i work at subway control centre).

  I'm reading a very good book on sleep, I hope that can help her get over this weirdness soon. I highly recommend it to anyone suffering from lack of sleep http://www.amazon.com/Power-Sleep-Revolutionary-Prepares-Performance/dp/0060977604/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233693884&sr=1-11

  Thank you guys. A very interesting link Sad Emo, lots of that sounds familiar. I think at this moment my priority is how to help my wife, that is a hard one, she doesn't even want to talk about it. But thank you for your suggestions.

  Thank you guys,you gave me some really good advice right there. Hamster that was really funny and yes you are absolutely right about not letting her sleep during day hours, she is very very selfish and childish.

  here is another link, very interesting http://articles.latimes.com/2008/mar/24/health/he-sleepmental24

  Basically, over all this period my wife hasn't slept on avarage maybe 4-5 hours a night. I think she was holding herself ok but over last couple of months you could see changes in her behavior, its like living with a different person. We argue a lot, then she retreats and just shuts down for days then all of a sudden feels energetic I think finally I have her back,then she dives again living in her own mind somewhere just not here. I don't say this lightly and I hope no one figures out who we are, but it is like living with someone mentally ill.

  We used to have our coffee in the morning, every morning and chat for few minutes at least before I go to work, now she is either having it by herself or when we are having it she just stares into something. To be perfectly honest she started freaking me out.

  I think she is most definitely overworked but I'm reading a lot of different material lately and I'm starting to wonder if lack of sleep could have pushed her over the edge. I just want my wife back the way she used to be. Any advice will be welcome. And yes now I'm trying to give her as much help as I can but I don't really know if that is all too little too late.

  Here is what doctors say

  Has your " Self Esteem " Improved After Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems to be an issue that some have after leaving the witness cult because none of us were ever made to feel we were " good " enough or "valued " enough for what we were trying to accomplish in the cult.

  growing up i had pounded into my head by my jw elder father what jesus said, " after doing all things remember you are good for nothing slaves , what we have done is what we ought to have done.

  " then i thought to myself - " where's the joy in that ?

  Trust in Jehovah in these hard economic times--but send us money

  clyde has heard from two sources that a letter was read at the meeting last week.

  after encouragement to trust in jehovah, they suggested that each publisher send about $5.70 to the society each month to help support the organization.

  that's the way he heard it.
