Introduction:

Sleep deprivation is known to induce cardiovascular responses. Several studies have shown the beneficial effect of caffeine on neurobehavioral performance during sleep deprivation, but less is known about its influence on the cardiovascular and inflammatory responses associated with sleep deprivation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of acute caffeine intake on (1) peripheral blood pressures, and (2) heart rate, and cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) and related biomarkers of endothelial activation, during total sleep deprivation (TSD), considering habitual caffeine consumption.

Methods:

41 subjects followed a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study and underwent 2 conditions of TSD (38 h), one with caffeine intake at 09:00 and 14:00 (2.5 mg/kg), and the other with placebo intake.

Results:

We confirm that TSD increases systolic and diastolic arterial pressures (p = 0.001 and p = 0.002 for main effects respectively) and heart rate (p = 0.001), and decreases endothelium-dependent and -independent CVC (p = 0.001). Acute caffeine intake inflates the increase in arterial pressures and IL-6 levels, while it does not affect CVC and levels of E-selectin and monocyte chemotaxis protein-1 (MCP-1). Moreover, chronic caffeine consumption had significant main effects on systolic arterial pressure (p = 0.03), heart rate (p = 0.02), IL-6 levels (p = 0.02), and acetylcholine (ACh)-induced CVC (p = 0.02), and interacted with TSD on E-selectin levels and ACh-induced CVC (p = 0.02 respectively).

Conclusion:

Acute caffeine intake provokes immuno-inflammatory and cardiovascular responses, and chronic caffeine consumption should be limited to the lowest efficient doses.

Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation

Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation

Insufficient sleep refers to not getting the recommended amount of sleep for optimal functioning, even if it's just slightly less than needed. Sleep insufficiency may occur due to lifestyle choices, such as staying up late for social events or work, resulting in routinely getting less sleep than required. For example, consistently sleeping 6 hours when the body needs 7-9 hours can lead to cumulative effects on health and well-being.

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Sleep-Wake Cycles

Sleep-Wake Cycles

Sleep is an essential physiological process vital to maintaining overall well-being. The reticular activating system (RAS), a network of neurons in the brainstem, regulates wakefulness and sleep. While it may seem passive, sleep consists of distinct cycles, each with its unique characteristics and functions. Two key sleep phases are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM).

NREM sleep comprises four progressive stages that seamlessly merge:

Management of Insomnia

Management of Insomnia

The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming. Insomnia, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves difficulty falling asleep, staying...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Insomnia

Insomnia

Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, and waking up too early without being able to return to sleep. People with insomnia often experience these disruptions at least three nights a week for at least one month. Chronic insomnia, which lasts for at least three months, can lead to increased anxiety, which in turn can worsen sleep difficulties, creating a cycle of sleeplessness and stress.
