Sleep Deprivation Effect #10: Loss of Inhibition
Another thing that can occur in people who are sleep deprived is a lack of inhibition. The longer that you go without sleep, the harder it can be for you to retain your focus on who you are, what you want, and what you should be doing.
For this, reason, people who are seriously sleep deprived may have a hard time keeping themselves in control. They may find themselves engaging in unhealthy behavior like doing drugs or drinking, engaging in sex that they may have otherwise avoided, or doing other uncharacteristic things.
