Why the study?
Does 48 h of total sleep deprivation affect skin resistance level, body temperature, sleepiness, and reaction time in healthy young adults?
Does 48 h of total sleep deprivation affect skin resistance level, body temperature, sleepiness, and reaction time in healthy young adults?
Skin resistance level is a sensitive, non-invasive measure of activation changes during total sleep deprivation, correlating well with temperature, sleepiness, and reaction time.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
SRL may mark activation changes during sleep deprivation in healthy adults; leaves open clinical utility pending validation in larger cohorts.
Miró et al. (2002) studied this question.
