Here is an article on abusers using sleep deprivation.
This is something I endured and I had no idea it was a form of abuse until I joined these forums and saw others post about it.
Hope you find it as helpful as I did. It's great to have your experiences validated and it was a good reminder to me that abuse takes all forms

Excellent read Getting OOF, thank you for sharing this.
I always knew deep down that what my exH was doing was abuse, it is validating and healing to me now to see this in black & white.
I am sorry you have endured this too. :sadno:
There is a reason that sleep deprivation is used on prisoners as a form of control and punishment...it works.
