Decreased Motor Skills

Sleep deprivation can cause a range of potentially serious issues, including decreased motor skills. People with sleep apnea may find they drop things often or have issues driving vehicles.

Sleep deprivation can cause other problems, too, which may or may not appear alongside decreased motor skills. Other problems caused by or associated with lack of sleep include premature wrinkling, high blood pressure, decreased sex drive, diabetes, obesity and lowered immune system function.6Team, Brain and Spine. ‘Here’s What Happens When You Don’t Get Enough Sleep (And How Much You Really Need a Night).’ Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, 11 Mar. 2021, health.clevelandclinic.org/happens-body-dont-get-enough-sleep/
