Loss of social skills means that the teens will become too busy thinking about when they are about to go to sleep, or how they can sleep for a few minutes rather than paying attention to friends. Teens may make plans to hang out with friends and go to the movies, go to dinner, go shopping etc. but if the teen is sleep deprived he or she is more likely to blow off their friends to catch up on his or her own sleep. For example, my friend Elizabeth did not sleep more than four hours a night during her senior year of high school. Elizabeth would make plans to go to dinner or go to a movie with some of her friends but on a regular basis would cancel because she had fallen asleep or decided that trying to go to sleep would benefit her better than spending times with friends. As a result, her friends would become very upset and irritated because yet again Elizabeth had cancelled their plans. Sleep deprivation can cause major mood swings, anger along with being rude are some of the mood swings resulting from having sleep deprivation. Teens will not want to talk because they just want to sleep and if they talk they might come off as rude and arrogant towards those that are speaking to them. The teen may not be able to function because they are thinking of when they can go to sleep and if people talk they may become highly upset or at least agitated. Thinking of sleep and anger issues and other mood swings are a type of lacking social
