Sleep deprivation happens when there's a lack of quantity or quality of sleep. It can be caused by medical/psychological issues, or social reasons like schedule changes and jet lag.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
The best solution is getting enough sleep. Sleep hygiene techniques might help, such as having a dark, quiet room, enough daily physical activity, and using the bed only for sleeping. Occasionally, supplements or medications might be needed to restore a healthy sleep cycle.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
