Sleep deprivation is the consequence of total or partial reduction in time spent asleep. Partial sleep deprivation is the most common form and one consequence of the very busy lives that many people live today. At least 20% of the population works shifts beyond the 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM "typical" working day. Accompanying sleep loss is associated with increased motor vehicle accidents and major industrial accidents.
