Patient discussion about deprive.

Q. what are the affects of sleep deprivation, and can I counteract them? I’m a college student and I’ve been sleeping for 5-6 hours a night for the past month…what symptoms should I expect? And how can I counteract them?

A. Can cause: clinical depression, Effects on growth, healing process, Obesity, weakened immune system and all sort of nice things. I’m in med school so I’m familiar with most of those… you just need to get some sleep man. Believe me you’ll have better scores if you’ll sleep 7 hours a night. And maybe take, what they call a “sleep snack” 15-30 minutes of sleep during midday, no more nor less.
