Will sleep deprivation cause hallucinations?

I've been sleep deprived for 2 nights now and I believe I've been hallucinating.

Can sleep deprivation cause someone to hallucinate?

Yes not getting enough sleep can cause someone to hallucinate and can also lead to someones death.

If you can't sleep on your own you might need to take some sleeping medications.

I have to take sleeping medication once in awhile even though I hate taking medicine.
