Effects of acute sleep deprivation on H reflex and V wave.

In conclusion, we found that H-reflex and V-wave responses are well preserved after 24 hr of sleep deprivation, revealing that descending neural drive and/or modulation in Ia afferent input remains largely unaffected under these circumstances. Yet, sleep deprivation affects motor control by exacerbating the magnitude of antagonist/agonist co-activation during forceful muscle contractions and this is novel.
