effect of sleeplessness
1 what happens if you don't get enough sleep? Randy Gardner, a high school
student in the United States, wanted to find out. He designed an experiment on the effects
of sleeplessness for a school science project. With doctor watching him carefully,
Gardner stayed awake for 264 hour and 12 minutes. That's eleven days and nights
without sleep!
2 what effect did sleepless have on Gardner? After 24 hours without sleep,
Gardner stared having trouble reading television. The words and picture were too
blurry. By the third day, he was having trouble doing things with his hands. By the fourth
day, Gardner was hallucinating. For example, when he saw street sign, he thought it
was a person. He also imagined he was a famous football player. Over the next few days,
Gardner's speech became so slurred couning. He couldn't remember what he was
doing
