Hi, it's Juliana!
This is called sleep deprivation.
It's when someone intentionally prevents you from getting enough sleep.
And it's abuse.
When I say this on my other accounts, I get a lot of comments like:
“Oh you're napping in the middle of the day,’ or 'Oh so we have to be quiet when you're sleeping.”
Just a lot of stuff that would make you think, “huh, maybe calling it abuse is too much.”
But just so you know...
Deliberate sleep deprivation is universally recognized by international bodies, human rights organizations, and medical experts as a form of torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.
So if you're going through this with the narcissist in your life, please know that it is not even remotely okay and you have every right to call it abuse.
If you need someone to talk to about all of this, you can always send me a DM or schedule a session with me.
My team and I help people heal from narcissistic abuse, and many of us have experienced it ourselves, so we're here if you need us.
To your healing,
Juliana ❤️🩹
