THE EFFECTS OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION ON DECISIONAL CAPACITY IN THE PROFESSIONAL DOMAIN
Keywords:
sleep deprivation, decisional capacity, the clinic effects of sleepAbstract
Sleeping is the result of complex phenomena
with two elements: a passive one and an active one. The
passive element is a result of the interruption of the
wakeful state due to the process of progressive tiredness
of the permanently used neurons, which determines the
decrease of their excitability, and as a consequence of
sensorial flux of the cortex. The active element is based
on a series of nervous formations which are in charge
with maintaining as well as inducing sleeping.
Sleep deprivation represents the period in which a person
cannot sleep constantly. The absence of a deep and good
sleep is most probably, the biggest ignored cause when
dealing with different behavioral changes.
