Is sleep deprivation really the same as being drunk? You may have heard claims online saying that not getting enough sleep can impair you just like alcohol. But is this actually supported by science? In this episode of Heard Online, sleep physician turned Sleep Coach Daniel investigates the research behind these headlines.

We take a closer look at several studies often used to support this claim and examine what they actually show.

You’ll learn why many headlines about sleep deprivation can be misleading, how laboratory reaction-time tests differ from real-world performance, and why the things that truly matter in daily life may not be as affected by poor sleep as commonly believed. If worries about sleep deprivation have been keeping you up at night, this episode offers an evidence-based perspective that may help put those fears into context.
