I’m doomed! But then again quite a few others around here are also.

It “ain’t” a true scientific study when words like ‘may’, ‘might’ and ‘could be’.

I’ve had insomnia off and on the past few weeks. I don’t see any truth to the claims in this article, and adding some corn meal to the crust does wonders.

I’ve been an insomniac my entire life.

I coulduh invented something by now, if I’d only gotten reasonable amounts of sleep.

four hours and sometimes no hours seems reasonable to me...

which areas lost up to 25% of brain cells? if they were areas where it stopped a person being so aggressive, or angry, or liberal, i’d say we gotta keep those people up for a long, long time.

If this were true I wouldn’t be capable of functioning... although it may depend on which brain cells. I wouldn’t be capable of thinking (cerebral cortex), motor function (cerebellum), or feeling emotion (limbic system), but I seem to be doing just fine.

Must be true. I first read it as lost “sheep” so couldn’t understand what they had to do with brain cells.

Sleep deprivation has long been recognized as a factor in reduced brain function, having effects similar to concussion. This study appears to explain why.
