Sleep deprivation negatively affects human health
Extensive scientific literature demonstrates that sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality negatively impact cognitive function, mental health, immune homeostasis, and overall physical health.
The retrieved papers consistently support the claim that sleep deprivation has detrimental effects across multiple domains of human health, including cognitive deficits, neuroinflammation, increased chronic pain, and metabolic or cardiovascular complications.
