leep plays a key role in good health and well-being in one's life, and a good night sleep ensures mental and physical health. Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep and can be either acute or chronic. A chronic sleeprestricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness, and weight loss or weight gain [1] and may also adversely affect the brain and cognitive functions [2]. However, sleep deprivation can also paradoxically lead to increased energy, alertness, and enhanced mood and has even been used as a treatment for depression [3,4]. Sleep disturbances are often seen in various psychiatric disorders or are also known to precede the psychological disorders resulting in their exacerbations [5-7]. We report a case presented with psychosislike symptoms due to chronic sleep deprivation over 15 days.
