Sleep Deprivation

It did not take much research to confirm that my "Unexplained Exhaustion" is from accumulated sleep deprivation. Of the 32 symptoms listed at Wikipedia, I have 20:

Aching muscles
ADHD-like
symptoms
Blurred
vision
Clinical depression
Daytime naps
Decreased mental activity
Decreased
concentration
Dizziness
Dark circles under the eyes
Headache
Impatience
Irritability
Memory lapses /
memory loss
Nausea
Pale skin tone
(looking pasty)
Slowed reaction time
Slurred
speech
Weight loss / Anorexia
Weight
gain

Yawning

Luckily, I am not exhibiting the worst symptoms (yet?), which include hand tremors, fainting, decreased immune function, hallucinations and psychosis.
