Can sleep deprivation cause lack of balance?

I know, I know see a doctor, but in the meantime: I basically sleep very poorly, to bed late and up late with poor quality sleep. I also find myself bumping into things and off balance of late, slightly dizzy, could this be caused by sleep deprivation? It is a pattern that has been ongoing for longer than a year, and I did have a mri scan to eliminate some of the biggies and a brainwavescan (to eliminate epilepsy) back when it started.

No, but it may cause you to be unable to focus or concentrate which can make you klutzier than normal.

You need to set up a regular bedtime routine & follow it daily.

Good luck to you.
