Dr. Nayantara Santhi has been investigating sleep. She subjected a woman, Sylvia to a series of experiments in order to prove how important sleep is and what happens to us if we don’t have enough of it. The research shows in how many different ways we are affected if we are sleep-deprived. The symptoms vary from genetic expression to mental functions. She warns to always get enough of sleep, for example by switching off your social media. 

This research is important for me as I need to be fully alert in school but also during the weekend. In the light of the above it makes sense to say that last minute cramming before a test at night doesn’t make sense whatsoever.

 

Words:

-mortality= the number of people who died in a given period of time (śmiertelność) 
Infant mortality in the Middle Ages was a lot higher than it is today.

-sleep deprivation=lack of sleep

Because of sleep deprivation we are less productive.

-cramped = small and cluttered

I don’t like sitting in cramped rooms as I feel claustrophobic.
