Podcast # 328: Sleep Deprivation

Author: Sam Killian, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Insufficient sleep and disrupted circadian rhythms are a major health problem today

  • Millions of dollars, thousands of deaths, and millions of injuries are related to sleep deprivation every year
  • 56 billion dollars - 24,000 deaths - 2.5 million disabiling injuries related to a sleep-type deprivation
  • Exxon valdez, challanger, chyrnobel linked to sleep deprivation- at least partially
  • Data has shown that in the Spring (when people lose an hour of sleep) there were 8% more traffic accidents on the Monday immediately after daylight savings. Conversely, in the Fall (when people gain an hour of sleep), there were 8% fewer traffic accidents on the Monday immediately after daylight savings.
  • Studies have also shown an increased risk of myocardial infarction in Spring immediately after daylight savings, and a decreased risk of myocardial infarction in the Fall immediately after daylight savings.
