- Study of sleep irregularity and sleep deprivation in healthy human subject of south eastern region of Chhattisgarh.
Sultana , et al. The present study revealed that the more than forty percentage subjects are sleep deprived. The sleep-time and wake time is earlier during work days. However, during free days sleep-time and wake time is in later clock hours. Therefore, the result suggests that people are not using free time in compensation of sleep. They may be busy with other social activities or responsibilities on free days. These kinds of small chronic accumulation of sleep deprivation may affect physical and mental health and efficiency of people.

2. Do both timing and duration of screen use affect sleep patterns in adolescents?
Sarah Hartley et al. The study aimed to explore the role of both duration and timing of screen exposure in adolescents and is first to highlight a dose effect relationship between duration of screen use in a teenage population both in the evening and during the night. Screen use is associated with reduced sleep time, insomnia, non refreshing sleep and daytime consequences such as sleepiness and irritability. The data suggests that all night-time screen use should be avoided. Moderate evening use of less than 2 hours is not associated with reduced sleep but may still be associated with daytime sleepiness. The article has suggested that guidelines for the safe use of screens in adolescents should recommend less than 2 hours of screen use in the evening and no screen use at all during the night. This can improve insomnia or lack of sleep as the rays of screen is not ideal for humans to directly use before sleep .Instead it is suggested to read a good book or a novel or some journaling before sleeping would be quite effective and will increase your brains creative capacity during night time.

5.Sleep Deprivation Increases Facial Skin Yellowness.
Matsubara et al. Sleep shortage is a major concern in modern life and induces various psycho-physical disorders, including skin problems. In cosmeceutics, females are aware that sleep deprivation worsens their facial skin tone. Sleep assists the body’s homeostatic systems and maintains or repairs various biological functions.
Skin tone is known to be influenced by various chromophores, the most representative of which are melanin, hemoglobin, bilirubin, and carotenoids [16,22,23,29,30,31]. Among these chromophores, melanin and hemoglobin have the largest influence on overall skin tone [31]. In the present clinical studies, the duration of exposure to ultraviolet rays was not modified. In addition, skin redness was found not to be altered by sleep deprivation. Therefore, melanin and hemoglobin may play limited causative roles in the elevated yellowness.

9. Insomnia—A Systematic Review and Comparison of Medical Resident’s Average Off-Call Sleep Times
Ardizzone , et al. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society suggests at least 7 h of sleep per night, as a healthy amount for most adults. Any less is considered sleep deprivation, which may have various consequences tied to it. While almost 70% of American citizens manage to obtain an adequate amount of sleep at night , it has long been a stereotype that sleep deprivation is a side effect of being a medical professional. The studies show that sleep timings of residents from a variety of countrie , cultures and specialities show that regardless of these dividing factors , a lack of sleep is a common point which seemingly unifies all medical residents.
