momtaz Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hello guys, A friend of mine, he is in early of 50s, no drink alcohol, no smoke, having a stable job and somehow a life, He started to experience sleepless for 2,3 or 4 days (sometimes) and still performing his duty jobs, As I heard he consulted with a psychologist, often taking some pills, but this still coming to him, I really wondered what this health condition to be diagnosed? or to be a symptom of what? anyone experienced? or heard about such? or recommended treatment? Will appreciate your recommendation and shared comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadee Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hi, do you mean he cannot sleep for up to 4 days at a time repeatedly or has it only happened once? If it's just once, I agree with tonray that it's quite common due to caffeine, stress and worry. If it's happened repeatedly then CharlieH is right that he should seek professional advice. You can't get people to diagnose on the internet, it could be anything, you need a professional to go through all the possibilities with the patient. Tell him good luck and I hope he gets better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Excess caffeine or psychological cause (or both) most likely. He is already seeing a psychologist. It takes time to see results from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momtaz Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 thanks for all replies,, He is not a smoker, or coffee / tea drinker, away from all these narcotics, to my knowledge, he consulted with a psychologist who described some medics for him for sleep, but the case often repeated again and again, my asking in this forum is just to have some ideas or some shared experiences that possible someone here experienced this issue or his/her family member, However, appreciate all your comments and replies with lot of thanks.

Sheryl Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Did he consult a psychiatrist or a psychologist? Psychologists do not prescribe medications, though they may refer the patient to a doctor for a prescription if they think it necessary. they provide counselling/therapy, which takes multiple sessions and is probably what he needs. Psychiatrists tend to spend only a very short time with the patient and reach pretty quickly for a prescription pad. He is unable top sleep because his mind is not at ease, something is troubling him even though he may not be aware of what it is. I suggest he get some sort-term therapy rather than relying in medications. See the Mental health Resource list pinned at the top of this forum for suggested places.

mogandave Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Up four days from stress? Sounds more like a crank habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdude Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 stop taking any pills or drugs, go to clinic and do a blood and urine tests for toxins and just in general. the cause is usually hot, stress, worms, parasite, drugs, toxins or tooth pain.

NancyL Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Has he had a complete health check-up? Some conditions, like heart rhythm irregularities, can cause problems with sleeping. If he's overweight, it's possible he has sleep apnea and the condition is making for sleep that isn't restful. One result of this condition is dangerously high blood pressure. Is your friend monitoring his? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
