Summary

Sleep is a physiological state that is essential for human performance, including academic, occupational, interpersonal, and psychological aspects. Sleep disruption or deprivation leads to a loss of psychomotor skills and an increased association with various diseases. Therefore, it is critical to assess how chronic sleep deprivation affects medical residents who work long shifts, including those assigned during their training.

Conditions

  • Sleep Deprivation
  • Hippocampal Atrophy
  • Cortical Irregularity

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Cerebral Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Cerebral Nuclear Magnetic Resonance before the start of the shifts and a control 2 months after the start of the residency to evaluate if there is an association between chronic sleep deprivation and changes in cortical and hippocampal volume.
