Hypervigilance
Hypervigilance is more than being extra vigilant, it is a state of being extremely alert to a point of undermining the quality of one's life. A person who is hypervigilant is constantly on guard and prone to overreaction. They maintain an intense often obsessive awareness of their surroundings, frequently scanning for a threat or route to escape. Hypervigilance is responsible for severe interference of sleep, leading to fatigue, loss of concentration and inability to focus. Sleep deprivation can further intensify feelings of paranoia fueling hypervigilant behavior.
