Diurnal Variation and Twenty-Four Hour Sleep Deprivation Do Not Alter Supine Heart Rate Variability in Healthy Male Young Adults.

PLOS ONE · 2017
What the research tells us
Supine high-frequency HRV during brain imaging did not show a change attributable to the sleep-deprivation intervention.
Scope & interpretation
The protocol and metric are specific; a null intervention result does not mean sleep loss is harmless, and supine high-frequency HRV is not wearable overnight RMSSD. Baseline group differences also require care.
