Sleep Deprivation: Annotated Bibliography
Alfarra, Ramey, Ana I. Fins, Isaac Chayo, and Jaime L. Tartar. "Changes in Attention to
an Emotional Task after Sleep Deprivation: Neurophysiological and Behavioral
Findings." Biological Psychology 104 (2015): 1-7. Web.
Ramey Alfarra, Ana I. Fins, Isaac Chayo, Jaime L Tartar had practiced this experiment at
the Division of Social and Behavioral Science and Center for Psychological Studies, at
the Nova Southeastern University. They found that sleep loss is shown to have a
widespread effect on cognitive processes. The findings Alfarra, Fins, Chayo, and Tartar
came to conclude is that not getting the proper amount of sleep intensifies the process of
emotional imaging. This means the slightest thing can tick a person off. This source will
expand my paper further into explaining how sleep loss causing emotional damage which
if I focused my audience into college students they would have a lot of intake on it.

Bruni, Frank. Todays Exhausted Superkids. The New York Time. 29 July 2015;
A21.Print. 10 Nov. 2016.
In this magazine article Frank Bruni, an American journalist who writes for the
New York Times magazine goes into detail on about kids are not getting enough sleep
due to distractions. He goes to state that depression is a one of the main causes of not
getting the correct amount of sleep and how it ends up affecting some kids. I think this

source would really help out with my paper because Bruni talks about how depression in
teens causes sleep deprivation and I wanted to focus my paper around an audience that I
know would be affected by it.

Esmiol, and Kristina E. "Re-Imagining Educational Leadership: An Invitation to

Imaginative and Exhilarating Leadership." Florida Journal of Educational
Administration and Policy 22 Sept. 2007: n. pag. Print.
In this magazine an article written by Christi A. Bergin and David A. Bergin
called Sleep: The E- Z Z Z Intervention go into detail about why kids are more affected
by sleep deprivation. These authors are both Associated Research Professors at the
University of Missouri. They concluded to say that sleep- deprived kids tend to be more
restless, irritable and impulsive than other students. These students usually have low
academic achievement. They even mentioned how it is usually teens that normally get
sleep deprived because of the amount of responsibilities they have. I think this source
would work well with my paper because I could focus my paper on a specific age group
and go into detail as to why adolescents usually experience sleep deprivation more.

Papadimitriou, George N., and Paul Linkowski. "Sleep Disturbance in Anxiety

Disorders." International Review of Psychiatry 17.4 (2005): 229-36. Web.
In this source, George N. Papadimitriou, an Assoicate Professor of Psychiatry, at
Athens University Medical School, and Paul Linkowski, who works also in the
Department of Psychiatry, at the University of Brussels goes into great detail about a
study they performed. They discovered how many patients suffer from major anxiety

disorders and complain about how they are having difficulties in initiating and
maintaining sleep throughout the night. This article expands on my topic because it
explains that having anxiety disorders affects a person while in the stage of REM Sleep.

Short, Michelle A., and Mia Louca. "Sleep Deprivation Leads to Mood Deficits in
Healthy Adolescents." Sleep Medicine 16.8 (2015): 987-93. Web.
In this journal article written by Michelle Short who studies at the Centre for
Sleep, at the University of South Australia, and Mia Louca who studies at Flinders
University Adelaide, at the school of Psychology, completed a study that focuses on how
sleep deprivation leads to mood deficits in healthy adolescents. It goes into detail about
how they investigated the effects of a thirty-six hour sleep deprivation on the discrete
mood states of anger, depression, anxiety, confusion, fatigue, and vigour in healthy
adults. If I chose to use this source it gives my paper a better way of explaining how sleep
deprivation can also be caused by mood swings instead just by stress and anxiety.

"Stress and Anxiety Interfere With Sleep."N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Nov. 2016.
This source speaks further on how adults in the United States experience stress or
anxiety daily, and how it interferes at least moderately with their everyday lives. The
Anxiety Disorders Associations of America (ADAA) commissioned these findings, which
was a survey in 2007 that examined the effects of anxiety disorders and everyday stress.
They found that half of adults are women who experience sleep deprivation due to the
build up of anxiety. This source would help me give background to my paper as to why
anxiety has been such a major issue when dealing with sleep deprivation.
