Are you vulnerable to sleep loss? Association between a priori self-assessed sensitivity to sleep deprivation and waking EEG dynamics

1. Objectives: Sleep deprivation leads to EEG power increases especially in lower frequency bands. Inter-individual differences exist in neurocognitive consequences of sleep loss. We aimed at developing a questionnaire that identifies individuals who are vulnerable to sleep loss. Here we investigated whether a priori self-assessed sensitivity to sleep loss is related to the changes in waking EEG power between a sleep deprived and a well-rested...
