How does sleep deprivation affect one with cerebral palsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many ways: Sleep deprivation affects different people in different ways. The way it will affect someone with CP may depend to some extent on what their primary type of CP is. People with increased tone and spasticity will have more tone and spasticity. Those with poor balance will have worse balance etc.
