Chronic Sleep Deprivation and Changes in Cortical and Hippocampal Volume
Sleep is a physiological state that is essential for human performance, including academic, occupational, interpersonal, and psychological aspects. Sleep disruption or deprivation leads to a loss of psychomotor skills and an increased association with various diseases. Therefore, it is critical to assess how chronic sleep deprivation affects medical residents who work long shifts, including those assigned during their training.
