Sleep Deprivation Syndrome (SDS) is a condition that occurs when a person has been so severely sleep deprived that s/he suffers lasting long-term effects that are impossible or difficult to overcome.

Possible complications from sleep deprivation syndrome include brain damage, seizures and epilepsy, or a variety of sleep disorders.

Sleep Deprivation Syndrome is common in certain occupations, especially those with long hours or those who work graveyard shift. About 12% of truck drivers are affected by sleep deprivation syndrome.
