Effect of Sleep Deprivation on Blood Glucose and Vital Data.
Effect of Sleep Deprivation
Keywords:
Sleep deprivation, Fasting Blood GlucoseAbstract
Background: The shift work affects human health and performance by disrupting circadian rhythms and by causing numerous alterations in human behaviour. We have taken night shift workers as they were sleep deprived people, comparing with the same variables in same persons during day shift work, to assess, how sleep deprivation (night shift work) impacts on persons health. So we decided to study the effect of sleep deprivation on blood glucose and vital data. Method: 58 normal healthy male volunteers aged ranging from 25 to 45 years were selected from Madras cement factory Limited and tested for Fasting Blood Glucose, Pulse Rate, Respiratory Rate, Temperature, Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure before and After Sleep Deprivation. Results: Mean Fasting Blood Glucose levels after sleep deprivation, when compared to mean fasting Glucose levels after normal sleep is significantly increased (P value < 0.05). The mean Temperature after sleep deprivation, when compared to mean Temperature after normal sleep is significantly decreased (P value < 0.05). The mean Systolic Blood Pressure after sleep deprivation when compared to mean Systolic Blood Pressure after normal sleep is significantly Raised (P value < 0.05)The mean Diastolic Blood Pressure, mean respiratory rate and mean pulse rate after sleep deprivation was not significant (P value > 0.05). Conclusion: This study concludes that sleep deprivation play a role to increase blood glucose levels and blood pressure.The results suggest that sleep deprivation play a role in the etiology of hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
