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]
- Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
The main effect of sleep deprivation is excessive daytime sleepiness, which can lead to traffic accidents and workplace injuries. Sleep deprivation has both short- and long-term impacts on your health. [pamf.org]
Modafinil is primarily used to treat the symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness ( EDS ) in people with narcolepsy. See also excessive daytime sleepiness ( EDS ) and narcolepsy. [healthysleep.med.harvard.edu]
Individuals with excessive daytime sleepiness, a well-recognized symptom of insomnia, often experience micro sleep episodes during periods of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness. [sleepdex.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]
- Hypersomnia
Forced awakening prior to MSLT may permit sleep deprivation or delayed sleep phase syndrome to masquerade as narcolepsy or idiopathic central nervous system (CNS) hypersomnia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sleep disturbance, described as insomnia or hypersomnia, is one of the primary symptoms of major depressive disorder. 1 People struggling with depression are likely to have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. [psycom.net]

Similarly low serum acylcarnitine levels have been measured in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome ( 46 ), another condition with reported sleep problems ( 47 ), and l -carnitine administration has also shown some benefit in reducing fatigue ( 48 ) [doi.org]
Eyes
- 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]

These can include forgetfulness, inattentiveness, being less able to fight off infections, and even mood swings and depression. Facts about sleep deprivation Sleep deprivation is becoming more common. [columbianeurology.org]
In humans, lack of sleep leads to impaired memory and reduced cognitive abilities, and, if the deprivation persists, mood swings and even hallucinations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- 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]

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]
