Sensory deprivation can lead to various psychological and cognitive issues due to a lack of sensory input. Excessive sleeping might indicate an attempt to escape from the lack of stimulation. Confusion, especially at night (sundowning), can result from altered perception due to sensory deprivation. Anger over minor issues may arise from frustration or difficulty in processing limited sensory input. Being easily distracted could indicate an inability to focus, possibly because the brain is seeking more stimulation. Sitting quietly and reading a book typically indicates engagement and cognitive activity, not sensory deprivation.
