Abstract

A single night of sleep deprivation (SD) evoked a strategy shift during risky decision making such that healthy human volunteers moved from defending against losses to seeking increased gains. This change in economic preferences was correlated with the magnitude of an SD-driven increase in ventromedial prefrontal activation as well as by an SD-driven decrease in anterior insula activation during decision making. Analogous changes were observed during receipt of reward outcomes: elevated activation to gains in ventromedial prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum, but attenuated anterior insula activation following losses. Finally, the observed shift in economic preferences was not correlated with change in psychomotor vigilance. These results suggest that a night of total sleep deprivation affects the neural mechanisms underlying economic preferences independent of its effects on vigilant attention.

    In this paper, the author showed that sleep deprivation shifted people's bias from defending against losses to pursuing gains. This change in economic preferences was correlated with activation in brain regions associated with reward, like ventromedial prefrontal cortex, but not correlated with change in psychomotor vigilance.

    But the author failed to make it clear how sleep deprivation causes this shift in economic preference. We suggest that emotion plays a key intermediary role. Traditional views hold that sleep deprivation produces negative, aversive experiences (Daniela et al., 2010; Franzen et al., 2009), but a recent study indicates that sleep loss appears to impose a labile, bidirectional nature of affective imbalance, including increased neural and behavioral reactivity to both positive and negative experiences (Gujar et al., 2011). Emotional processes are considered to have great impact on decision making (Johnson and Tversky, 1983; Schwarz, 2000; Kenneth & Yuen, 2003). So sleep deprivation is likely to influence decision making through the intermediary effects of emotion.
