The journal “Nature and Science of Sleep” published the article “The Influence of 24-hr Sleep Deprivation on Psychomotor Vigilance in Young Women and Men” written under the guidance of professor of the University of Physical Education in Poznan, Dr Janusz Maciaszek from the Department of Physical Activity and Health Promotion.

The article presents the results of studies how one day without sleep can negatively affect psychomotor performance, even in young and highly physically fit women and men. Sleep deprivation not only results in a longer response time to light and sound stimuli, but also increases the number of errors made in coordination tests.
