Do you mean you haven't slept for 8 days? If it's been that long, I can not imagine any pdoc think you are looking for attention, but would help you if you give them a call.
Before my DX,back in 1999, I went 8 months,with only 2 hours of sleep a nite,attended college part time and stay at home mom. I'd love to have a fraction of that energy I had,but eventually I had a meltdown, which was triggered by finding out someone was unfaithful to me, big time.
Call, your pdoc asap.
Take care now,
DE
