Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter

#104 - Sleep Deprivation: Get Up, Get Up! Wake Up, Wake Up!

Chris Winter

While we have touched on sleep deprivation in other episodes, particularly as it relates to confusion with the concept of insomnia, in this episode, we devote the entire program to a discussion of the topic. In this episode we will:

  • Define sleep deprivation
  • Go through the symptoms of sleep deprivation and research into many of these signs
  • Touch upon how we look for and measure sleep deprivation
  • Contrast sleep deprivation with insomnia 
  • List some common causes of sleep deprivation
  • Discuss treatment options and relative validity of these interventions
