Question:
Can Sleep Deprivation Decrease One's Level Of Functioning...More Than S/he Is Aware??
In other words...if someone hasn't sleep for some time...but they feel alert and do not feel tired--is it because they require less sleep than most...or is it just an illusion that they are still up to par.
Answers:
It is an illusion...sleep deprivation causes the brain to think it is functioning when in fact it is shutting down...
