According to research findings presented Wednesday, June 10, at Sleep 2009, the 23rd annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, caffeine use prevents increased risk-taking that occurs after several nights of total sleep deprivation.
Results indicate that despite extreme sleep deprivation, participants who had consumed caffeine did not exhibit increased risky behavior on the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART), a computerized measure of impulsive risk-taking, according to the findings, released in abstract form, titled, “Caffeine Protects Against Increased Risk-Taking Behavior During.”

Sleep experts know that the mental clarity lost because of a few sleepless nights can often be restored with a good night’s rest. Researchers have identified a key molecular mechanism that regulates the brain’s ability to mentally compensate for sleep deprivation.
Working with mice, they found that a molecule called an adenosine receptor is necessary for sleep-restricted animals to attain adequate levels of slow-wave activity in the brain once normal sleep resumes. It is this increase in slow-wave activity, or SWA, during rebound sleep that helps restore normal working memory and attention skills to the sleep-deprived.
