Sleep and the need for it

“I haven’t slept for 30 hours,” a friend proudly told me one day, as if it is anything to be proud of.
Lack of sleep causes many disruptions to the normal functioning of the body. If you have not slept for 30 hours just like my friend I mentioned above, you are more likely to become cranky, jittery and worse, you may lose your sense of reasoning.
More kids today stay up late at night to watch television or spend hours in front of the computers. These kids may not yet feel the negative effects of their staying up late now but interestingly, there are already existing post-conditions caused by their bad habit. Not having enough sleep can result to slower mental acumen and sluggishness, often manifested in school performance.
