Researchers agree that perception of pain increases as a result of various forms of sleep deprivation. Research supports that controlled sleep deprivation augments decreased mechanical pain thresholds; however, studies investigating sensitivity to cold stimuli were far less definitive. Previous research indicated that total sleep deprivation results in decreased threshold to cold stimuli while other researchers reported no incidence of increased sensitivity to cold stimuli. Another potentially rich area of research is the restorative effect of sleep following sleep deprivation. Currently, there are limited studies that have focused on the perception of cold stimuli and pressure stimuli following various forms of sleep deprivation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of total sleep deprivation, partial sleep deprivation, and the restorative effect of napping on the perception of cold stimuli during the cold pressure test and graded pulse pressure applied by the NormaTec sleeve. Data suggest that sensitivity to cold stimuli and pressure stimuli is highest following a total sleep deprivation trial, where sensitivity to cold stimuli increased by 5.44% (p=0.0045) from baseline and sensitivity to pressure stimuli increased by 8.39% (p=0.024) from baseline. Pain sensitivity decreased following partial sleep deprivation for the cold pressor test (-3.25%) and increased following the NormaTec compression sleeve test (+6.18%). Additionally, a 30-minute nap decreased pain perception during the cold pressor test (-4.50%) and the NormaTec compression sleeve test (-13.11%) compared to the total sleep deprivation trial. Data suggest that partial sleep deprivation decreased the perception of cold stimulus while total sleep deprivation increased perception pain perception to cold stimulus. Both partial sleep deprivation and total sleep deprivation increased pain perception by decreasing pain threshold during the NormaTec compression sleeve test. Additionally, data suggest that sensitivity to pain can be reversed by a 30-minute nap following diminished sleep.
