Although the average college student needs 8-9 hours of sleep each night, between school, studying and work, not enough students are getting the recommended amount of sleep. Some of the common and simple side effects are daytime drowsiness, decreased mental activity and concentration, irritability, memory lapses, weight gain or weight loss.
Other side effects that can occur and become serious problems are clinical depression, hallucinations, hand tremors, hyperactivity, hypertension, lucid dreaming, nystagmus (rapid involuntary rhythmic eye movement) and psychosis.
These are just a few effects of sleep deprevation, if you would like more information on sleep disorders, please visit http://www.therapeuticbenefits.com/ for resources, low cost therapy in Santa Barbara, and to schedule a free phone consultation.
