Sleep deprivation leads to mood deficits in healthy adolescents.

Study Objectives: The objectives of the study were to investigate the effects of 36 h of sleep deprivation on the discrete mood states of anger, depression, anxiety, confusion, fatigue, and vigour in healthy adolescents.

Method: Twelve healthy adolescent good sleepers (six male), aged 14-18 years (M = 16.17, standard deviation (SD) = 0.

The effect of one night's sleep deprivation on adolescent neurobehavioral performance.

Study Objectives: To investigate the effects of one night's sleep deprivation on neurobehavioral functioning in adolescents.

Design: Participants completed a neurobehavioral test battery measuring sustained attention, reaction speed, cognitive processing speed, sleepiness, and fatigue every 2 h during wakefulness. Baseline performance (defined as those test bouts between 09:00 and 19:00 on days 2 and 3, following two 10-h sleep opportunities) were compared to performance at the same clock time the day following total sleep deprivation.
