Effect of 38 h of total sleep deprivation on the waking EEG in women: sex differences.
38 h of sleep deprivation in women resulted in decreased alpha, increased theta and increased intrahemispheric correlation during rest and increased theta and reaction time during task. F3-O1 coherent activity was selectively decreased consistent with the role of sleep for recovery of frontal functions. Sleep deprivation effects were milder in women than in men, however, recovery was not complete suggesting that women need more sleep than men to recover.
