Abstract

Lifestyles involving sleep deprivation are common, despite mounting evidence that both acute total sleep deprivation and chronically restricted sleep degrade neurobehavioral functions associated with arousal, attention, memory and state stability. Current research suggests dynamic differences in the way the central nervous system responds to acute versus chronic sleep restriction, which is reflected in new models of sleep-wake regulation. Chronic sleep restriction likely induces long-term neuromodulatory changes in brain physiology that could explain why recovery from it may require more time than from acute sleep loss. High intraclass correlations in neurobehavioral responses to sleep loss suggest that these trait-like differences are phenotypic and may include genetic components. Sleep deprivation induces changes in brain metabolism and neural activation that involve distributed networks and connectivity.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Sleep loss and night work are linked to lower alertness and cognitive performance and are a safety concern for round-the-clock operations, including medicine.

    “Sleep loss and night work are associated with reduced alertness and cognitive performance1 and represent a safety challenge for all 24/7 operations, including medicine.2–6”

    From Sleep and Alertness in a Duty-Hour Flexibility Trial in Internal Medicine (2019) · cites this paper as [1]

    The ‘Chronic sleep restriction induces cumulative neurobehavioral deficits’ section reports declines in alertness and cognitive performance with sleep restriction, with effects most severe during the biological night. That supports the sleep-loss part of the clause cited to this paper, but the passage does not directly establish an effect of night work. The separate safety claim is attached to other citations in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.82)

  • There is good evidence that insomnia increases the risk for depression, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.

    “There is good evidence that insomnia increases the risk for certain disorders including depression (439), hypertension (31), and type 2 diabetes (561)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
