Cartoon: Sleepless futures
Skylin Lui, Staff Writer
Insufficient sleep has numerous negative effects on the human body. Scientists have connected health problems such as a weakened immune system and drained mental ability with sleep deprivation. A sleep expert had predicted that a human body that receives only 6 hours of sleep a night for 25 years will experience hair and muscle thinning, memory loss, drastic skin aging, chronic pain, and uneven weight gain. With this grotesque example, it’s important that students receive adequate amounts of sleep a night in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. (Skylin Lui)
