THE EFFECT OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Sleep deprivation significantly impacts the nervous system, leading to impaired cognitive functions, reduced attention, memory problems, and emotional instability. Lack of sufficient sleep disrupts the normal functioning of neurons and neural networks, causing decreased brain plasticity and slower signal transmission. Chronic sleep deprivation can contribute to neurological disorders, increase stress levels, and weaken the body's ability to recover and maintain homeostasis. Understanding these effects highlights the importance of adequate sleep for maintaining optimal nervous system health and overall well-being.
