I've discovered that if I vary my sleep even slightly (less than 8 hours or more than 10 hours) my auditory hallucinations start. Fortunately they are a kind of background chatter that doesn't interfere too much with my life... just annoying.
Anyone else find there is a correlation between their hallucinations and sleep?

I haven't had any in a month or so but if I start going without sleep- only getting 2 hours a night- they will come back.

When I'm sleep deprived, I get hallucinations, but I think those are just from a lack of sleep. I'll also get psychosis during an episode... either mania OR mixed.
However, I don't think it's normal to get hallucinations from what you described. |

But. If you are talking about seeing things of the sort that occur on the cusps between sleep and wake, then yes. --If they are on the verge of falling asleep, they are called hypnogogic hallucinations. --If they are between sleep and waking they are called hypnopompic hallucinations. They're not "proper" hallucinations though. "Normals" get them too. They can feel über-real. I'm most prone to the hypnopompic ones -- so real that I reach out for things with my eyes open. One I even got out of bed and started walking towards. They appeared VERY real. Had a big run of them. Freaked me out. Thought I was "going crazy". It was a big relief to find out they were normal and nothing to worry about. (I've had proper hallucinations too. Alas, no such reassurance for those...) |
