Surrey Wakes Up To Problems Of Sleep Deprivation, UK
Researchers at the University of Surrey are investigating the effects of
sleep deprivation on metabolic and cardiovascular function and are
looking for volunteers to take part in a study. To be eligible,
participants must be male shift workers or male non shift workers aged
between 25-45 years-old.
In today's 24/7 society, work and social obligations can adversely
affect the timing, duration and quality of sleep. One such demand
resulting from today's society is the need for shift work.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of one night of total
sleep deprivation, as is experienced during the first night of a night
shift, on a range of metabolic, inflammatory and cardiovascular and
neurobehavioural responses. The responses of shift workers will be
compared to those on non shift workers. It is hoped that valuable
knowledge will be gained, in particular for those who skip a night's
sleep, for instance, night shift workers.
Previous research has indicated that doing shift work is not without
risk and it has been shown to have consequences for the health and
wellbeing of an individual, both acutely and in the long term. Sleep
deprivation during a night shift can acutely decrease alertness and
performance. Doing shift work for a number of years has, for example,
been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). An
increased risk of developing CVD has, in part, been shown to be due to
elevation of hormone and lipid responses, and is related to changes in
the inflammatory system.
Susceptibility to the effects of sleep deprivation is also likely to
differ between people. These differences may be a result of the amount
of shift work done in the past, lifestyle, sleep patterns and genetics.
Sophie Wehrens, the lead researcher comments: "Today's 24/7 society
puts a very high pressure on people's sleep patterns. Many people
realise this may affect their health, but we do not know exactly how. In
addition, it is obvious that not everyone responds in the same way to
skipping a night's sleep. We are therefore very interested to
investigate responses to sleep deprivation in the well controlled
conditions of our lab. This hopefully will enable us to characterise
these responses and to understand the mechanisms underlying them."
The University of Surrey is one of the UK's leading professional,
scientific and technological universities with a world class research
profile and a reputation for excellence in teaching and research.
Ground-breaking research at the University is bringing direct benefit to
all spheres of life - helping industry to maintain its competitive edge
and creating improvements in the areas of health, medicine, space
science, the environment, communications, defence and social policy.
Programmes in science and technology have gained widespread recognition
and it also boasts flourishing programmes in dance and music, social
sciences, management and languages and law. In addition to the campus on
150 hectares just outside Guildford, Surrey, the University also owns
and runs the Surrey Research Park, which provides facilities for 140
companies employing 2,700 staff.
The Sunday Times names Surrey as 'The University for Jobs' which
underlines the university's growing reputation for providing high
quality, relevant degrees.
