Sleep and Your Brain Sleep plays an important role in the effective functioning of the brain and the lack of sleep has a detrimental effect on the control of learning, behavior and memory. Studies have shown that brain activity is actually altered following sleep deprivation. In some cases, there are parts of the brain that may not function or do not function properly, while other parts of the brain have to work harder.

When sleep is limited, or when deep sleep is not achieved during the resting hours, it will affect the way that we think, slowing down our everyday thoughts. This is why driving while drowsy can be so dangerous - the lack of sleep can actually slow reaction time, alter judgment and make it easier to fall asleep at the wheel.
