Getting A Life Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I think it deserves looking into. What weaknesses the body has are often highlighted when deprived of sleep - scars are enhanced, aches and pains appear, even lumps... The body in a non rested state might point out problems not normally manisfesting in a rested state. This may make early diagnosis of certain conditions a lot easier. I bet good money it affects blood counts of metabolites and more. This doesn't fit my study in any manner, whoever here is medical, and looking for an interesting study - take this observation and put it to good use please.

lawcat Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 LOL! I am not a medical student or a doctor. Therefore, I am a patient. Froma patient's perspective, you have a point there, and I agree that under sleep deprivation the body is tired, weaker, and the immune system weakens, and a host of problems may surface. But, gosh, I think I'd look for second opinion if my doctor told me: You know what, to correctly diagnose your general welfare, you'll have to go on 72-hour, sleep deprivation regiment.
