Does lack of sleep worsen stuttering?

Does lack of sleep worsen stuttering? Yesterday I was speaking quite fluently, but last night I couldn't sleep well and this morning I woke up with so many blocks that I couldn't even pronounce the na...

depends honestly, usually i don’t stutter at all when talking to myself but the second I record something or anything it starts and gets really bad, but sometimes I purposely hold “ssss” to practice g...

Don’t feel bad. I can’t even say my own name at the pharmacy. Thank god for the CVS code they don’t even care they just scan it. Saves me from humiliation....

Exactly 💯... nobody has a clue unless they live it... not even fellow stutterers that just repeat syllables continously, they have continous airflow even though it's not even, as where extreme blocke...

I’m having a rough week. It feels like I can’t speak.

I’m having a rough week. It feels like I can’t speak. I have a moderate to severe stutter, which consists of mostly blocking. For the last few days, it’s been incredibly hard to speak, and it’s making...

Exactly. I never allowed myself to repeat, as I hated the idea of others hearing me repeat. So I was blocking aaallllll the time. Then one day, a few years ago, I told my wife I was going to stutter f...

Fighting pressure is a great way to describe it! It’s not the kind of thing people without a stutter will never understand like I can’t get the sound out sometimes and I run out of breathe...

Big time... i would love to just stutter, and repeat syllables freely but most of the time, especially name asking... it feels like internal air pressure is holding it the speech back, and here i am...

It doesn’t always work for me. Sometimes even when someone asks my name, I get a really bad block....

I would almost say that severe blockers are in a different category entirely than syllable repeaters and prolongers......

Blocks, in my humble opinion, are a result of resistance towards your "authentic" stutter - the classical repetition stuff. When we resist stuttering, a sort of bodily panic response happens, causing ...

Mostly a blocker here... totally different experience than the prolongation... often times im pushing with force to get words out, so exhausting, other times, I can't produce sound at all......

Yeah me too my stutter evolved from repetition to blocks I kinda like the block instead of repetition, I brush it off like I forgot what I'm about to say and try again...

Blocks only?

Blocks only? Does anyone else have blocks only? I used to have prolongation and repetition when I was younger but my stutter has evolved to blocks. I’ve noticed that a lot of people online who stutter...

solitude is the only place where i can talk stutter free and that’s what irritates me the most. why can’t that translate to the outside world. what changes in my brain that doesn’t allow me to speak n...

I agree, but what most people don't realize is all stutterers have varying degrees of difficulty, some are word or sound repeaters, prolonging syllables, etc, but the air flow is still there, and some...

Update: I might have found a solution to the blocking. I noticed that my body automatically clenches my throat when I hold my breath. My theory is that the un-clenching for speaking doesn't happen fas...

Curious, do you stutter on the “sss” when you are speaking out loud to yourself?...
