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
