[fearful1025]

hey guys
i was wonder if sleep apena cause u to hallucinate in the middle of the day if you didn't sleep much the night before? When i go to sleep late and get you early I think later that day i hallucinated later cuz i was feeling tried but not  sleepy but stress and tried.I didn't sleep well a few days in a row , i guess my sleep debt  was high. may not even hallucination but misinterpretation was due to sleep.

Hello and hope you are doing fine.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is unlikely to cause hallucinations, but and they can occur with certain medications, stress, sleep deprivation, in certain brain disorders and with schizophrenia or bipolar disorders. So, like you mentioned sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations. But if they persist, I would advise you to discuss your symptoms with your primary care physician for further evaluation.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
