Presentation
In the present communication, we present two patients (one with multiple sclerosis and the other with Parkinson's disease) in whom treatment with magnetic fields produced behavioral effects which paralleled those observed in REM-sleep-deprived animals [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Fatigue
Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the effects of 24-h sleep deprivation on mood, fatigue, and airline pilot competencies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] pilot is too fatigued to fly. [faa.gov]
[…] of fatigue despite evidence of increased risk to health and safety. 4 5 This has led to calls for better information on the extent and consequences of the effects of fatigue on performance. 6 The problem, in practice, is at what level of fatigue does [doi.org]
- Weakness
Some patients will experience only pain, while others may also suffer from weakness in their arms or legs. The weakness may be mild or may progress to paralysis in a relatively short period of time. [lifebridgehealth.org]
Metastasis to the spine can lead to significant adverse effects, including numbness/tingling, weakness, pain and incontinence. A significant proportion of patients who develop spinal metastasis will develop one or more of these symptoms. [dukecancerinstitute.org]
There’s an important weakness in the experiment, however, in that participants didn’t face any penalty for signing the confession. [arstechnica.com]
Spinal metastases can cause neurologic symptoms including weakness, sensory loss, strange sensations, difficulty with or inability to walk, or bowel and bladder dysfunction. [urmc.rochester.edu]
At the expressed inflammatory process there is a weakness, the person grows thin, body temperature increases. Inflammatory process at a chronic sigmoiditis sometimes extends to a visceral peritoneum with development of a perisigmoiditis. [en.medicalmed.de]
- Collapse
Notably, the marked neuroprotective effects of LLPF, which did not show obvious free-radical scavenging activity in vitro, could be attributed to its strong effects on inhibiting Ca 2+ influx and mitochondrial membrane potential collapse. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Tumors around the spinal bones (vertebrae) can cause pain and, on occasion, collapse of the vertebrae. [lifebridgehealth.org]
Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty When fractured or collapsed vertebrae result from a metastatic spine tumor, a surgical bone cement may be injected directly into the collapsed vertebra to provide support and stabilize the spine. [dukecancerinstitute.org]
"Prolonged stress with sleep deprivation will lead to a physiological exhaustion of the body's defense mechanisms, physical collapse, and with the potential for various ensuing illnesses," Horne wrote. [content.time.com]
I'm jealous of those who can turn off their bedroom light, sink into their soft, fluffy pillow and drift away for eight blissful hours I'd rather collapse on to the sofa in my pyjamas at 8pm instead of getting cosy with my husband, and I'm sure he feels [dailymail.co.uk]

- Malaise
You may have a feeling of malaise, which might manifest as feeling run-down or simply "not well." You might have aches or pains in your body. This may lead to a diagnosis of fibromyalgia or other chronic pain conditions. [sleepdisorders.about.com]
The results can include increased sleep disruption, feelings of malaise, performance errors, uncontrollable falling asleep during waking hours, negative moods and problems with social interaction, inefficient communication and accidents. [thedoctorwillseeyounow.com]
Generally, sleep deprivation may result in: aching muscles confusion, memory lapses or loss depression development of false memory hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations during falling asleep and waking, which are entirely normal hand tremor headaches malaise [en.wikipedia.org]
At least one of the following forms of daytime impairment related to the nighttime sleep difficulty is reported by the patient: Fatigue or malaise Attention, concentration, or memory impairment Social or vocational dysfunction or poor school performance [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Snoring
Sleep disorder – problems such as sleep apnoea, snoring and periodic limb movement disorder can disturb the person’s sleep many times during the night. [web.archive.org]
Many people don’t think of snoring as a sleep disorder, for instance, but snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, which causes breathing interruptions during sleep and can result in serious health complications or death. [sleep-deprivation.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Overeating
This suggests that sleep debt is perhaps best understood as resulting in additional wakefulness that has a neurobiological "cost" which accumulates over time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The study used a cross over randomised control design (table 2 ). [doi.org]
Without sleep, however, participants performed equally bad when the dots were over neutral and emotional images. [medicaldaily.com]
Jaw & Teeth
- Bruxism
Examples of sleeping disorders include: Insomnia Narcolepsy Night terrors REM sleep behavior disorder Restless leg syndrome Sleep apnea Sleepwalking Snoring Teeth grinding, or bruxism. Popular beliefs about sleep disorders are sometimes misleading. [sleep-deprivation.com]

- Blurred Vision
Lack of sleep can cause myriad symptoms: aching muscles, blurred vision, depression, color blindness, drowsiness, loss of concentration, weak immune system, dizziness, dark circles of the eyes, fainting, confusion, hallucinations, symptoms of drunkenness [world-of-lucid-dreaming.com]
Signs of chronic sleep deprivation can also include frequent infections/illnesses, blurred vision, changes in appetite, and depression. [ccmr.cornell.edu]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
BACKGROUND: Sleep deprivation has been associated with obesity among adults, and accumulating data suggests that stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) expression has a relevant impact on fatty acid (FA) composition of lipid pools and obesity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
That could mean that the more sleep-deprived someone feels, the more impaired their judgment is (as the researchers suggest). [arstechnica.com]
The evening condition (i.e. at the end of day spent awake) was intermediate between the two, suggesting that wakefulness causes progressive changes that build up over time. [blogs.discovermagazine.com]

- Emotional Outbursts
Does your child have emotional outbursts? As parents, we all know what it feels like to be grumpy, contrary, and “not at our best” from lack of sleep. If our kids often feel this way, we owe it to them to find solutions to this problem. [drgreene.com]
Neurologic
- Irritability
Irritability and loss of motivation are common outcomes of sleep deprivation. We look at each below. Irritability Sleep deprivation doesn’t just affect you. [optalert.com]
Marine Corps were offered mental health evaluation for sleep disturbance and symptoms of blunted affect, low mood, poor concentration, inability to focus, irritability, and drowsiness. All three patients reported insomnia as their primary complaint. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
“It is common for managers and colleagues to look at a lack of focus or motivation, irritability, and bad decision making as being caused by poor training, organizational politics or the work environment. [hult.edu]

Abstract Sleep deprivation is a major source of morbidity with widespread health effects, including increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart attack, and stroke. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A stroke worsened by sleep deprivation even caused the death of a Chinese man after binge-watching soccer for 48 hours. So close that laptop and get some shut-eye. [motherboard.vice.com]

RESULTS: Neurological deterioration as defined as a decrease in Glasgow Coma Scale score of 2 or more, an increase in National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score by 4 or more, or a change in Confusion Assessment Method score for use in intensive care [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
He also became upset, confused and paranoid. He hallucinated - at first, simple patterns like cobwebs on people's faces, or insects which were really specks of paint on the table. But soon, they became more intense, like waking dreams. [world-of-lucid-dreaming.com]
Effects include boredom, irritability, difficulty in concentrating, confusion, and inaccurate perception of sensory stimuli. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

After just one night of skimping on sleep, you'll experience changes in mood, headache, and hormone imbalances. One week of sleeping fewer than six hours a night can result in changes to more than 700 genes. [mindbodygreen.com]
Often, headaches and tension are found to increase after poor sleep; occasionally this may be accompanied by feelings of dizziness and light-headedness. It is recommended that you consult your doctor if you experience symptoms such as this. [sleepio.com]
That’s why people who are sleep deprived are susceptible to headaches, and part of why those who have stayed awake for 24 hours perform similarly to those with a blood alcohol content of 0.1 percent on many mental and physical tasks, he noted. [abcnews.go.com]

Workup
We think that this is only possible if an extensive diagnostic workup is performed at the time of the first symptom, back pain. [jamanetwork.com]
Treatment
Sleep deprivation treatment, its immediate but short-lived beneficial effect, may have a role in the treatment of the ultra-short depressions encountered in very rapid cycling. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Intramedullary metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. Up to two-thirds of patients die within six months of diagnosis 2. [radiopaedia.org]
