Chaput, J.-P., & Dutil, C. (2016, September 26). Lack of sleep as a contributor to obesity in adolescents: Impacts on eating and activity behaviors – International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and physical activity. BioMed Central. https://ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12966-016-0428-0
Insufficient sleep or sleep deprivation can pose a serious risk to the academic success, health, and safety of everyone but especially adolescents. This article focuses on the link between insufficient sleep and obesity in adolescents. Not only that having a good night’s sleep is as important as eating a healthy diet and being regularly physically active for overall health, but sleeping habits also impact eating therefore, can influence our body weight control.
Pesoli M;Rucco R;Liparoti M;Lardone A;D’Aurizio G;Minino R;Troisi Lopez E;Paccone A;Granata C;Curcio G;Sorrentino G;Mandolesi L;Sorrentino P; (n.d.). A night of sleep deprivation alters brain connectivity and affects specific executive functions. Neurological Sciences: official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34244891/
Sleep is shown to be critical to our mental health, especially to memory consolidation and executive functions, such as attentional and switching abilities. This article tested the specific cognitive task in thirty-two men after twenty-four hours of sleep deprivation and results showed a decrease in the accuracy and speed of execution in the LCT and a reduction of reaction times in the TS, evidencing thus a worsening of attentional but not of switching abilities.
Gujar, N., Yoo, S.-S., Hu, P., & Walker, M. P. (2010, August). The unrested resting brain: Sleep deprivation alters activity within the default-mode network. Journal of cognitive neuroscience. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2883887/
This article focuses on the importance of sleep deprivation in our brain activity. It was reported that just with only twenty-four hours of sleep deprivation significantly disrupts the canonical signature of task-related deactivation, resulting in a double dissociation within anterior as well as posterior midline regions of the default network. Therefore, the stability and balance of task-related deactivation in key default-mode regions may be related to prior sleep.
Tempesta D;Couyoumdjian A;Moroni F;Marzano C;De Gennaro L;Ferrara M; (n.d.-a). The impact of one night of sleep deprivation on moral judgments. Social neuroscience. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21943064/
This article focused on the impact of lack of sleep and moral judgment. They studied Forty-eight students and they were tasked with a dilemmas test, after a night of home sleep, and another 30 dilemmas at retest, following 24 hours of sleep deprivation. The results showed that 24 hours of sleep deprivation influences the response speed only for moral impersonal dilemmas. The quality of moral judgment dilemmas does not seem to be easily influenced by a single night of sleep deprivation, but only by a longer lack of sleep.

This article focuses on the effect of 24 hours of sleep deprivation on medical students. The results showed an increase in errors in multiple tasks and an increase in time while finishing a test with the digit symbol substitution test being affected the most.
