RE: Voluntary Sleep Deprivation: A Self Induced Cognitive Impairment
I heard that sleep deprivation and Alzheimer's are linked because the brain cleans itself of junk molecules during this time.
Also I have been on flights to Europe from North America and unable to sleep. This means leaving here a 9 pm, getting there around 7 am and then staying up until the evening.
This absolutely wrecks me, I don't know how people manage swing shifts.
You are right, it occurs too among people travelling across places with different time zones, this results in time lag which causes sleep deprivation too
