Why Does Lack of Sleep Affect Us Differently?






Have you ever wondered why some people are really tired and yawning all of the time when they don’t get that much sleep whereas with some people you hardly even notice it, well in this report you will find out how and why. In the lab test the scientists gathered 92 healthy adults without the gene variant were compared to 37 healthy adults who had the gene variant but did not have any sleep disorders. For the first two nights, they spent 10 hours in bed and were fully rested. The next five nights were only allowed four hours in bed per night. During the remaining time, lights were kept on and participants could read, play games, or watch movies to help them stay awake.The effects where strange, the people with the gene variant were having some difficulties sleeping even during a ten hour rest. They were always waking up during the night and they were not sleeping heavily without dreams but sleeping lightly with dreams
