Description
Summary:Laghi and Shaikh offer insights about the role of sleep deprivation upon the respiratory muscles. Rault et al assessed the effect of one night of sleep deprivation on respiratory motor output and inspiratory endurance in 20 healthy men. Inspiratory endurance was decreased by 50% and pre-inspiratory motor potentials - thought to reflect activity of the supplementary motor area - were decreased by 40%. Dyspnea developed more rapidly after sleep deprivation. To quantify dyspnea, the investigators instructed subjects to report discomfort associated with breathing - the affective dimension of dyspnea, analogous to the unpleasantness of pain.
