Today's entry has absolutely nothing to do with my daily life, I'm just stuck at my Mom's job, and are am going to ask random questions.. Type them into ask.com, and see what comes up.
How long can a human go without sleep?
www.abc.net.au/science/sleep/facts.htm
It told me nothing about how long it takes for a human to DIE without sleep, but the longest record was almso almost 19 days, which is pretty impressive.. I almsot almost collapsed after 3. He reported, "Paranoia, Halucinations, blurred vision, slurred speach speech, and memory lapses," all of which I experienced within my three days.. After which it goes on to tell me about some non-related facts about sleep, which are still rather interesting.
For isntance instance it's impossible to tell if someone is really sleeping or not without close medical examination, if cats can fake asleep, so w can we!
Or that if it takes you 5 minutes or less to fall alseep asleep, you're most likely sleep deprived, or on some sleeping pills. 10-15 minutes means you're just tired enough to fall asleep without being desperate.
I thought this was funny, "Elephants sleep standing up during non-REM sleep, but lie down for REM sleep."
The fact that somebody listened to an Elephant breathing while he was standing up wtih with his eyes closed, then somebody running up to an elephant asleep on the ground, touching their eyelids.
And what the ********.. in the 1980's was it? Scientists were shining lights on the back of some guys poor knees while he was asleep, and it reset his sleep cycle.
Here's something else, you act the same when you've been awake for 17 hours as you would if your blood alchohaul alchohol level was 0.05
Seems that's all for now..
I'll see what I get next time.
