What Sleep Deprivation Does To Your Brain — Everything You Need to Know

Symptoms of Sleep Deprivation

Some symptoms of sleep deprivation are easy to spot. People who are yawning, who are having trouble staying awake in classes or in meetings, or who are always particularly moody or emotionally touchy are, quite possibly, sleep deprived.

However, there are other symptoms that can be associated with sleep deprivation, too. Sleep deprived people can be clumsy, can have trouble making decisions or consistently make poor decisions, and they may always be hungry. They may be accident prone, in their vehicles or otherwise, and they may get sick easily or have trouble getting better when they do fall ill.

All of this happens because the human body needs sleep. We are made to sleep and, when we don’t, it has consequences for how (and how well) the body functions.
