To date, most sleep deprivation studies have focused on acute sleep deprivation, suggesting that acute sleep deprivation can cause significant damage to cognitive, emotional, and physical functions and brain mechanisms. [11] Few studies have compared the effects of acute total sleep deprivation and chronic partial sleep restriction. [8]
Chronic partial sleep deprivation is a form of sleep deprivation caused when one obtains some but inadequate sleep. Acute sleep deprivation is more widely known as the scenario in which one is awake for 24 hours or longer. [8] From student reports, 70.65% of students are sleep deprived and 50% of college students exhibit daytime sleepiness.
Specifically, sleep deprivation was related to significant decreases in PPA activation while attending to scenes and when ignoring scenes. This is explained by the absence of change in the Attention Modulation Index (AMI). Face recognition is not affected by sleep deprivation. [7]
After going through stages of REM-sleep, people with depression report feeling better, in a study done by Cartwright et al. [40] Conversely, a theory proposed by Revonsuo [41] states that when people experience negative emotions or negative events, when they sleep the REM-sleep replays such events, which is known as rehearsal. [39]
Animals studies showed that sleep deprivation prior to a brain injury might have healthy effects. Five days of complete sleep deprivation in rats before the traumatic brain injury, acted as protection against ischemic injury [21] and a habitual deceased in total amount of sleep time before TBI reduced the severity. [22]
Observations have been made that there is an association between stress, sleep, and Interleukin-6 proposing a possible mechanism for sleep changes. During both chronic and acute phase sleep deprivation, there are increases in the pro-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6).
