Abstract:
Various methods of sleep deprivation are used to control people. Here the
author reviews the known sleep cycles, then describes the process of sleep deprivation and
the common effects on the subject. Risk areas such as families living in poor conditions,
varied work schedules that interfere with normal sleep, cultic groups, and
imprisonment and criminal interrogations are described. When imposed willfully on a
subject, sleep deprivation is seen as a violation of basic human rights.
