'''Sleep deprivation''' (pronunciation: /sli:p dɛprɪˈveɪʃ(ə)n/) is a condition that occurs if you don't get enough sleep. The term is derived from the Latin words "de" meaning "from" and "privatio" meaning "taking away".
 
Sleep deprivation not only pertains to complete lack of sleep, but can also refer to consistently getting less than the recommended amount of sleep. In adults, this is typically 7-9 hours per night.
 
=== Symptoms ===
 
Symptoms of sleep deprivation can include [[fatigue]], [[irritability]], mood changes, difficulty focusing and remembering, and reduced coordination. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to serious health problems such as [[obesity]], [[diabetes]], cardiovascular disease, and even early mortality.
 
=== Causes ===
 
Sleep deprivation can be caused by a variety of factors, including [[insomnia]], [[sleep apnea]], [[narcolepsy]], and lifestyle choices such as work schedule or use of electronic devices before bed.
 
=== Treatment ===
 
Treatment for sleep deprivation typically involves addressing the underlying cause, whether that's a sleep disorder or lifestyle factors. This can include [[cognitive behavioral therapy]] for insomnia, treatment for sleep apnea, or changes in sleep hygiene.
 
=== Prevention ===
 
Prevention strategies for sleep deprivation include maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime, and creating a comfortable sleep environment.
