Sleep deprivation means not getting enough sleep, and it can be called different names such as sleep loss or sustained wakefulness (Lastella & Halson, 2019). Total sleep deprivation means staying awake for more than 24 hours, which can make you very tired and affect how well you think (Koslowsky & Babkoff, 1992). Partial sleep deprivation means not getting enough sleep each day, and if it happens often, it can make you feel sleepy, affect how well you think, and cause problems with your body’s immune system, how it processes glucose, and your overall mood (Elmenhorst et al., 2008).
