What Is Autoimmune Encephalitis?
4. Insomnia
Most people need around 8 hours sleep every night, although this varies from person to person. If we don’t get enough sleep then we are likely to feel pretty bad the following day. Prolonged periods of not getting enough sleep can even mean that we develop serious mental and physical health problems.
Autoimmune encephalitis can result in the patient suffering from insomnia, and this can have a considerable negative impact on the patient’s overall quality of life. To make matters even worse, patients with the condition will also sometimes suffer from severe anxiety, and some may experience debilitating anxiety attacks.
