Sleep expert from the US Warn those who sleep a lot and often that Lack of sleep causes many more negative side effects than is commonly thought. This is one of the reasons why it is defined as coercion of prisoners or captives. Lack of sleep for a long time Regarded as one of the abuses
However, the medical profession is still unable to slotdefine exactly how little a person sleeps to be considered sleep deprivation. This is because everyone needs different sleep times. Therefore, it is simply considered that sleep deprivation means a condition in which a person sleeps less than the required amount of time needed to wake up and keep the body awake.
Stephen Fene Silver, MD, director of the Center for Sleep Medicine at Icahn Medical Service in New York, USA. And Professor David Dingges, professor of psychology who served as director of the University of Pennsylvania's Experimental Psychiatry Unit. A researcher who has conducted extensive research with volunteers' sleep indicates that sleep deprivation may cause strange symptoms. Many things depend on people. Some things are a bit of a problem. But some things can be fatal.
The first symptom is Emotional state Dr. Phen Silver said that People who are in a low level of sleep deprivation Will affect the cognitive and emotional functions of the brain Sleep deprived people often express negative emotions on their faces. They also do not perceive other people's positive emotional states, and they are also much less tolerant of disappointment than they should be.
When more sleep deprivation Or force yourself to stay awake for too long It will cause a phenomenon that doctors call "micro sleep" or "sleep state" Professor Dingges said. Studies have shown that the condition lasts a maximum of 30 seconds. People with this condition do not close their eyes. But we can't see anything because both our eyes and brain are in the same state as when we slept. There is no processing of any data. All happened In the examination of the brain during sleep Professor Dingges stated that The brain enters a sleep state quickly and cannot be controlled.
This type of sleep disorder can be life threatening if it occurs while the person is driving a car or operating machinery.
Extreme sleep deprivation can cause "sudden confusion" or "delirium" (Delirium), which Phene Silver doctor pointed out. It occurs when the brain does not recognize all the facts surrounding it. Additionally, in severe cases, it can cause memory loss or insomnia.
The most severe case that can occur with persistent or chronic sleep deprivation is the development of hallucinations. After graduating and working as a new doctor, they were in a state of sleep deprivation for several months, eventually causing hallucinations to even the point that the pumpkin could speak. And said something to myself
Although the constantly awakened lab rats were lethal, however, the two sleep experts agreed. Sleep deprivation in people Not likely to cause death on its own. Although it was reported in 2012 that a Chinese man died after 11 days of sleeplessness, suggesting that there may be other causes, including: Drinking alcohol, smoking, playing games, or otherwise
Lack of sleep alone is difficult to cause death. Because the body has a mechanism that makes people who are extremely sleep deprived I was sleepy and finally fell asleep.
