More Information
Summary:Highlights • Heart rate variability was measured during sleep after 40 hours of sleep deprivation. • Young and postmenopausal women with and without hormone therapy were studied. • Young women had higher heart rate variability than older women. • Sleep deprivation decreased nocturnal heart rate variability regardless of age. • Acute total sleep deprivation has a negative effect on autonomic function.
