Empowered Health News | A Solution to Sleep Deprivation

Description:
http://www.empowereddoctor.com/story_1370.html Many adolescents and young adults harbor a desire to skip sleep in favor of getting more from daily life. Now new research from Wake Forest University School of Medicine has revealed this desire may not be far from the realm of possibility. A naturally occurring brain peptide, orexin-A, has been shown to reverse the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance in monkeys. Researchers believe these findings may hold potential for patients suffering from sleep disorders and for shift workers, military personnel, and other occupations where sleep is limited, but cognitive demand is high.
