ТHE IMPACT OF LACK OF SLEEP ON THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES OF FUTURE DOCTORS

Abstract

Еvery doctor has a duty to lead a healthy lifestyle in order to help patients and at the same time remain strong and maintain long-term ability to work. It's no secret that lack of sleep is bad for our body, but medical students and doctors constantly have to break the rules of healthy sleep: they often stay on duty, work out, prepare for exams. There is an important concept -cognitive functions. Cognitive or mental capabilities are the highest functions of the brain that provide a person with the opportunity to be a person. These include thinking, spatial orientation, understanding, calculation, learning, speech and reasoning ability. Today an average of 50% of people do not sleep the recommended 8 hours each night. It's an epidemic of sleep deprivation. It`s extremely important for future doctors to have developed cognitive abilities for productive work and memorization of the material. In this regard, we decided to conduct a research and show how lack of sleep affects working capacity and prove the importance of good sleep in the practice of every doctor.
