Scientists from the Research Center of the Working Environment and Human Factor named after Leibniz learned how sleep deprivation affects the brain. It turned out that this influence extends both to the activation of the brain and to the communication between neurons. And all this is connected with memory.
A person should get a sufficient amount of sleep in order to work as efficiently as possible during the day. In addition, lack of sleep impairs attention, memory, and learning ability. In this case, information is processed by the brain poorly or not at all, and new neural connections are formed with difficulty.
That being said, there is a difference between a complete denial of sleep and a job that is inconsistent with one's personal sleep and wakefulness phases. In the latter case, neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to change) and excitability decrease at suboptimal times of the day, and excitability increases with sleep deprivation.
In addition, in a new study by specialists from the Research Center of the Working Environment and Human Factor named after Leibniz says that with sleep deprivation, brain function deteriorates and connections between neurons are disrupted.
