OT - Recognize These Symptoms?

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow or the day after (I'm working three insane shifts: 12 pm to 8 pm, 11 pm to 6:30 am, and 7:15 to 1 pm - close to 24 hours straight of awake working.) I can't find any info on the net: I don't even know what to search for. Anyone here have an idea? --Constant misperception: mistaking one thing for another, or one word for another (in extreme cases, seeing things that aren't there, or not seeing things that are there) It feels like someone is "Switching things around" behind your back, though you know they aren't. --Suddenly getting something familiar wrong--like suddenly mixing up your phone number - and not being able to tell whether the number you've given is right or wrong --Triple-checking things and still making lots of errors --Leaving stove burners on, taps going, etc. Double checking them and thinking they are off--they're not--you only find out when 1. you leave and come back, 2. you get another cue like the smell of a stove burner or notice the sound of running water 3 somone else points it out --Mixing up words: like saying "now" instead of "new", "bucket" instead of "basket" (or, in extreme cases, "cup" instead of basket - ie an object to hold things and letting the listener guess the correct word from that) --Getting counts wrong --Not being able to perceive errors until another person shows them to you - ie you count two, double-count two, triple-count two, and only when someone comes along to point out that there are four, can you perceive that there are four, and never have been two. --Having to write down basic information - like your phone number, bus number, name of your employer, address - and having to check it before giving it out, even years later (ie repetition does not help you remember) --in the end, being never quite sure what is real or what isn't....it's all a guess, and you regularly guess wrong. Whilst its probably something simple, it could also be signs of something quite serious. Please make sure you tell your doctor all these symptoms. Can't imagine the lack of sleep could help, though.
