EEG theta oscillations during sleep deprivation
… been found in the near-opposite conditions of sleepiness and alert cognitive control. Most neuroscience research fo-cuses exclusively on the latter, leaving this paradox unresolved. With this thesis, I focus instead on the-ta during sleep deprivation (sdTheta), which has been hypothesized to …

Effects of sleep deprivation on autonomic nervous system
Sleep deprivation (SD) has been thought a potential factor to trigger cardiovascular events by increasing the sympathetic nervous system activity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between sleep deprivation and the autonomic nervous system activity by means of heart rate …

On the Relative Contribution of Stress and Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Deprivation to the Retention Deficit Following Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Deprivation.
… of what role, if any, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep plays in memory consolidation has yet to be answered. Those studies which find evidence for a functional role of REM in consolidation do so by comparing REM deprived (REMD) animals, which are subjected to cold, wetness, isolation, and fatigue, …

Fatalities in Motor Vehicle Accidents Caused by Sleep Deprivation
… motor vehicle fatalitiesrelated to alcohol and sleep deprivation. It will be determined; if there is a connection between these two factors in motor vehicle fatalities. First there was a study completed to determine how often accidents occurred related to alcohol consumption, and if the …

Analysis and detection of driver fatigue caused by sleep deprivation
… alertness based on driver-vehicle data. Although sleep and fatigue are major causes of impaired driving, neither effective regulations nor acceptable countermeasures are available yet. The first part of this thesis analyzes driver-vehicle systems with discrete sleep-deprivation levels, and reveals …

Effects of maternal sleep deprivation on maternal sensitivity and contingent responsiveness
Research has revealed that sleep deprivation deleteriously affects several aspects of adults' behavior, such as mood, cognition, and motor performance. One population that is subject to sleep deprivation and the accompanying consequences are parents of young infants. The present study explored how …

Effects of REM Sleep Deprivation on Trigeminal Nerves: Increased Thermal Sensitivity
Sleep is essential for maintaining normal functioning of the nervous system. Importantly, while sleep deprivation increases the level of pain, the pain resulting from injury, trauma, or infection can cause one to become sleep deprived. In such a scenario, a vicious cycle is established and is …

The Molecular Correlates of Sleep and Sleep Deprivation in vivo and in vitro
… to better understand the molecular correlates of sleep and sleep deprivation. Unlike previous studies, we utilise a timecourse based experimental design throughout, which has the advantage of identifying how the abundance of molecules return to baseline following sleep deprivation. Chapter 3 …

Sleep deprivation and the negative effect it will have on the individual's cognitive function
… to determine if there was a correlation between sleep deprivation and an individual's cognitive function. Cognitive function was evaluated by looking at participants working memory and processing speed. To investigate this extrapolation, data was collected from undergraduate students at Rowan …

Auditory Evoked Potentials: the Effects of Sleep Deprivation and Recovery Time For the P300
… the P300 response can be negatively affected by sleep deprivation revealing a slowing of cognitive processing following these adverse conditions. There has been limited research on how much recovery time is needed before these cognitive processes return to normal levels following 24 hours of …

Understanding the Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Executive Function, Complex Task Performance and Situation Awareness
Both sleep deprivation and loss of situation awareness (SA) have been cited as primary causal factors contributing to the accident and injury rate in the military and civilian sector (e.g., transportation). Despite the numerous references to both factors as causal in nature, much of the literature …

The Effects of Chronic Sleep Deprivation on Sustained Attention: A Study of Brain Dynamic Functional Connectivity
… of adults in the U.S. suffer from insufficient sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation has become a prevalent phenomenon because of contemporary lifestyle and work-related factors. Sleep deprivation can reduce the capabilities and efficiency of attentional performance by impairing perception, …

THE PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF CHRONIC CAFFEINE TREATMENT ON THE COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY IN ACUTE SLEEP DEPRIVATION
… evidence has shown that caffeine and sleep deprivation have opposing effects on learning and memory; therefore, this study was undertaken to provide a detailed account of the effect of chronic, low-dose caffeine treatment on the deleterious effects of sleep loss on …
