Abstract
RING RING RING. Your alarm on your phone goes off at 7:00 AM on the dot. You sigh as you roll over to your phone, and press the stop button to turn it off. You went to bed at 2:30 AM last night after working on assignments you procrastinated on, and as you get up to go to the bathroom, you already wish for the day to be over so you can go back home and nap. Once you get ready to leave, you head downstairs and start to walk out the door, only to realize that you forgot about your phone upstairs. You sigh as you go back upstairs, as anger starts to build up inside of you. As you head back downstairs to walk out the door, you think to yourself, “today is gonna be a long day”. As college students, there are a variety of reasons as to why one might not get much rest such as having to work late hours or thinking about stress from the day. It is stereotypical for students to stay up for long hours working on assignments or partying until the early morning. Many are willing to work through the effects of sleep deprivation by doing things such as catching up on sleep at “a later time,” or consuming caffeine to work through the tiredness. While it seems like the short term effects of sleep deprivation only stick around temporarily, a lack of sleep can cause serious damage to the body and brain in the long term. Even though it seems tempting to pull that all nighter, the effects sleep deprivation has on one’s body will cause both short and long term damage.
