RE: Science of sleep completion [what happens if you don't sleep]
Some studies have suggested that melatonin has a direct influence on growth hormones. begs the question: more sleep = minute increase in height? see for yourself
A 17years old high school student, decided to stay awake for 264hours, which is approximately eleven days.
Any idea what happened on the 11th day? didn't say if he made it there at all. lol
On sleep debt, there's no such thing. the body would get really tired and you'd sleep deeper for longer than normal. it would vary from your average sleep duration by a few hours, which would be expected.
Sleep is essential to health. Just like the weird Asian in Death Note, the movie would say: Sleep is key to strong thought.
Good read, overall.
Thanks for stopping by @ pangoli
It is true growth occurs during sleep, and melatonin influences our growth. However, I can't possibly include every information concerning sleep, as we will spend the rest of our day reading this sleep article. Besides this is a complement to my previous post on "Science of sleep"
Also, concerning the 17years old high school student, perhaps you missed this part
Thanks again.
