Hi Natalie. That depends on the person who stutters. Some clients report their stuttering become significantly worse after several nights of sleep deprivation, while others report just a mild worsening. Others clients will be unable to say if their stuttering become worse with sleep deprivation because they are always sleep deprived! I have one specific client who reports he almost cannot talk in the next day when he sleeps less than 3 hours per night. So, the scenarios are diverse. Sandra
