• A poor night's sleep induces the same level of impairment as a certain blood-alcohol level. Several poor nights' sleep in a row produces a worse impairment.

If your toddler is getting less than the minimum amount of sleep he needs, his behavior and development can suffer. Sleep-deprived toddlers are often crankier and more irritable and argumentative than those who are getting enough zzzs, and they may find it more difficult to concentrate during playtime. It's also often hard to tell if your child is sleep deprived, as many children this age get more active when they're overtired, fooling parents into thinking their toddler isn't ready for bed or doesn't need that much sleep. ...

When studying brain mechanisms that regulate sleep, it is important to get knowledge about not only the sleep modulatory effects of pharmacological manipulation of a neuronal system, but also about the reciprocal effects of the sleep-wake rhythm and sleep deprivation on the activity of the studied neuronal system. In the case of the GH-axis and its effects on sleep there was already established knowledge about the synchronization of GH-secretion and sleep-wake rhythm, and about the sleep modulatory effects of pharmacological manipulation of the GH-axis, while the effects of sleep deprivation on the activity on the GH-regulating neuropeptides in the brain were mostly unknown. ...
•     Our results showed that REM sleep deprivation increased somatostatin and decreased GHRH mRNA in the hypothalamus, while total sleep deprivation (combined lack of slow wave and REM sleep) increased both GHRH and somatostatin mRNA in the hypothalamus. ... Our finding that GHRH mRNA increases during SWS loss but not during REM sleep deprivation when SWS is possible, is generally in accordance with the findings of the injection studies. According to the injection studies, somatostatin could facilitate REM sleep but these results obtained from animal and human studies are not as consistent as the results of the effect of GHRH on SWS. Our results that the lack of REM sleep achieved either by REM or total sleep deprivation will lead to increases in somatostatin mRNA in the hypothalamus, and the finding that i. ... or local injection of somatostatin antagonist will reduce REM sleep give further support to the hypothesis that somatostatin facilitates REM sleep in the brain. We also found that REM sleep deprivation increases the expression of galanin mRNA in the anterior hypothalamus although total sleep deprivation did not affect galanin mRNA. ... or local microinjection of galanin into the locus coeruleus did not affect the amount of sleep. This may indicate that galanin could mediate some of the effects of REM sleep deprivation in the brain, but does not itself affect sleep. ...
