Abstract
Acute total sleep deprivation has a deleterious effect on the autonomic nervous system in young women, but an even more pronounced effect in postmenopausal women. Hormone therapy use in late postmenopause does not give protection against these changes. These harmful effects may partly explain the increased cardiovascular morbidity and overall mortality associated with sleep loss.
