A lack of sleep can cause a variety of problems for people of all ages. In adults, it can lead to a decrease in cognitive functioning, an increase in stress levels, and an increased risk of developing chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. In children, it can lead to a decrease in academic performance, an increase in behavioral problems, and a decrease in physical health. Sleep deprivation or disruption can cause serious problems in the workplace as well, such as an increased risk of accidents, decreased productivity, and increased absenteeism. Studies have shown that people who report disturbed sleep have an increased risk of long-term sickness absence, and that non-restorative sleep is significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality. Furthermore, sleep loss or sleep disruption can interfere with the circadian rhythm, potentiating the circadian influence on performance and interacting with other stressors to enhance the stress-induced physiological responses. Ultimately, the consequences of lack of sleep can be far-reaching and can have a major impact on both physical and mental health.

Access through your institution Highlights • Chronic sleep deprivation of less than 7 h daily is associated with multiple health disorders. • Sleep deprivation in late pregnancy induces hypertension in offspring. • Sleep deprivation induces neutrophilic inflammation in asthma. • The effects of sleep deprivation encompass the disruptions in immunological interplay and genetic modifications. • Melatonin is postulated as a treatment option to counteract metabolic deficiencies in children with sleep deprivation. In this review, we aimed to provide insight into the association between sleep deprivation and the development of diseases.

Strohl is a Clinical Nurse Specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, Baltimore, Maryland. Significant relations included these: report of sleep problems prediagnosis over the past month (x = 5.82; p = 0.02), duration of sleep medication use and frequency of sleep problem (r = 0.58; p = 0.05), age and severity of sleep problems (r = 0.38; p = 0.05), and frequency and severity of the sleep problem over the past month (r = 0.21; p < 0.10). Communication with health care providers occurred in 16.6% of patients reporting a sleep disturbance.

Access through your institution There are well-established consequences of sleep loss and sleep disruption in children. Most of the well-established consequences have been supported by experimental studies using sleep restriction or similar manipulations for demonstrating these causal effects.

The present study used 8300 individuals in a national sample to obtain information on reports of disturbed sleep and fatigue 1 year and merged this with data on long-term sickness absence 2 years later. The results showed that individuals without registered sickness absence at the start had a higher probability of entering a period of long-term (≥90 days, odds ratio [OR] = 1.24 with 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02–1.51) sickness absence 2 years later if they reported disturbed sleep at the start.

Accession Number: AD0783199 Title: Descriptive Note: Corporate Author: ADVISORY GROUP FOR AEROSPACE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE (FRANCE) Report Date: 1974-06-01 Pagination or Media Count: 51.0 Abstract: Effects of total sleep loss, partial sleep loss, and sleep stage deprivation are reviewed with particular attention to performance decrement and operational consequences. Sleep loss, both total and partial, tends to potentiate the circadian influence on performance and interact with other stressors to enhance the stress-induced physiological responses.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, Vol 6(3), Sep 2000, 236-249 Abstract Few sleep deprivation (SD) studies involve realism or high-level decision making, factors relevant to managers, military commanders, and so forth, who are undergoing prolonged work during crises. Decision-making models developed outside SD provide useful perspectives on these latter effects, as does a neuropsychological explanation of sleep function.
