The negative effects of sleep deprivation on physical and mental functioning are well documented and it is therefore surprising that relatively little research has been done into the effects of sleep deprivation on social behaviour and the ability to judge social interactions and emotional expressions appropriately. Our experiment, conducted amongst 25 male students at the Czech military academy in Brno, Czech Republic, showed no significant differences in performance on a standard autism test between pre- and post- sleep deprivation conditions. The purpose of the paper is describe impacts of sleep deprivation on men with high physical stress, what negatively influence relevant cognitions and emotions. Sleep deprivation strongly influence cognitive abilities, leading to military leadership development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
