Everybody freak out: a new study shows sleep deprivation could screw up your brain before you even feel tired.
According to LiveScience, scientists at the University of Wisconsin, Madison studied the brains of rats who had been sleep-deprived for four hours. During that period — equivalent to a night or less for a human — small portions of the brain lapsed into inactivity as though they were asleep, although the rats themselves remained awake and open-eyed. A subsequent test showed that the rats grew worse at grabbing a sugar pellet the longer they were sleep-deprived.
