Sleep deprivation is the cumulative effect of a person not having enough sleep. It can be either chronic or acute, with a chronic sleep-deprived state causing fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness, and weight loss or weight gain. Sleep deprivation adversely affects the brain and cognitive function. Sleep deprivation has been linked through a host of studies and reports to depression, ADHD, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's. The US Centers For Disease Control have labeled sleep deprivation a public health epidemic, with over 70 million adults suffering from a sleep disorder.*
