The article that discussed shrinking brains striked my interest. Find that link here. The article says: "Studies have shown poor sleep can cause protein buildup in the brain that attacks brain cells. So we're still trying to put the puzzle together," (Poor Sleep Pattern). The fact that our body will begin to "attack" our own brain cells is an intense thing to consider. I immediately think of college students attempting to prepare for an exam or studying to learn, but when they receive poor sleep, their brain attacks itself and ultimately it's pointless considering the type of war going on inside their head.

  1. This article also peaked my interest as a college student. It made me go back and think about the video we watched the first day of class about learning something and then testing over it later on that day, then getting a good nights rest and testing on it the next day and doing much better. It's like God programmed us to need and want sleep that way we can better ourselves not only physically but mentally as well.
