A
Sleep deprivation are recurrent periods of rapid eye movement (REM) or non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep that are inadequate in quantity or quality, which can result from factors such as prolonged hospitalization, substance abuse, illness, age, or frequent changes in lifestyle. People who are sleep deprived do not have the normal restorative periods associated with sleep and can become irritable or confused and have difficulty concentrating. A nurse can assist the client who is sleep deprived to minimize or seek treatment for factors contributing to the condition (e.g., substance abuse).
