To quantitatively describe the effects of sleep loss, we used meta-analysis, a technique relatively new to the sleep research field, to mathematically summarize data from 19 original research studies. Results of our analysis of 143 study coefficients and a total sample size of 1.932 suggest that overall sleep deprivation strongly impairs human functioning. Moreover, we found that mood is more affected by sleep deprivation than either cognitive or motor performance and that partial sleep deprivation has a more profound effect on functioning than either long-term or short-term sleep deprivation. In general, these results indicate that the effects of sleep deprivation may be underestimated in some narrative reviews, particularly those concerning the effects of partial sleep deprivation.
为了定量描述睡眠不足的影响，我们采用了荟萃分析（一种睡眠研究领域相对较新的技术）来对19项原始研究的数据进行数学汇总。我们对143个研究系数和总计1932个样本量的分析结果表明，总体睡眠剥夺会严重损害人类机能。此外，我们发现情绪比认知或运动表现更容易受到睡眠剥夺的影响，并且部分睡眠剥夺对机能的影响比长期或短期睡眠剥夺更为深远。总体而言，这些结果表明，在一些叙述性综述中，尤其是那些关于部分睡眠剥夺影响的综述中，睡眠剥夺的影响可能被低估了。
