Sleep Deprivation II

Last post was talking about production levels vs sleep. So will our production level increase with less sleep? The answer is yes and no. Yes is well you are able to stretch your time and being able to work more. HOWEVER you will die without sleep.

If humans do not sleep for a certain period of time, the first 2 days maybe will be ok. After that, your thinking will slow down, disorientation will occur, you will get irritated easily and show some signs of violence. More commonly found, people who went without sleep for long periods of time will suffer from hallucinations and become paranoid. Soon you will not even able to count from 1 to 100 successfully. Luckily all this problems will disappear once you sleep to recharge. And you might sleep for days to compensate for the lost sleep. We call this sleep debt.

We'll talk about sleep debt in the next blog. So stay tuned!
