How sleep deprivation affects the brain

2018-09-18 11:15:30
I am a 40 year old housewife. Recently since a month I have been sleep deprived due to my personal commitments. I feel I cant concentrate well on my work these days. How does sleep deprivation affect the brain? Does it cause any unchanging reaction? How can this be managed?
