Related Literature

There are literatures that testify that sleeping is needed by the body as it

works mentally and physically through everyday life. It has been proven that it

revives the bodys metabolism and consciousness as it undergoes its cycles. But

not every individual share the proper amount of sleep.

According to McCullen, the amount of sleep between individuals varies

accordingly to their kind of lifestyle. Working people generally have the least

amount of sleep as extra salaries and wages from over-time work and graveyard

shifts becomes necessary. Followed by college students, who usually finish their

assignments and homeworks in an inappropriate time.

This proves that not all people achieve the right amount of sleep, in

accordance to the kind of lifestyle theyre living in. These lifestyles usually lead to

sleep deprivation and lack of sleep that brings different disadvantages.

According to Mercado, busy people often sleep very late, unaware that it

results to certain disadvantages in their fields of work and living. Examples are

sheer exhaustion, impaired coordination, blurred vision and more healthproblems.

According to Crowley, when teenagers stay up late and sleep in over the

weekend, this behavior resets their daily clock to a later time, This resetting can

push back the brain's cue to be awake on Monday morning for school. As a

result, teens may feel worse and have poor performance in school at the

beginning of the week. Essentially, teenagers may be giving themselves jetlag

over the weekend even without getting on a plane.

This habit is way too inappropriate for the body that it brings too much

inconvenience. Drastic effects to performance may be acquired when sleep is

reduced from its natural level.

Aside from literatures, there also studies that can relate and testify to this

research.

According to Dumas, there are 3 smart things about sleeping late; You

may need more sleep than you think, research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep

Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they

were "well rested" actually performed better and were more alert if they slept

another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the light bulb, the average

person slumbered 10 hours a night; Night owls are more creative,

artists, writers, and coders typically fire on all cylinders by crashing near dawn

and awakening at the crack of noon. In one study, "evening people" almost

universally slam-dunked a standardized creativity test. Their early-bird brethren

struggled for passing scores, and; Rising early is stressful, the stress hormone

Cortisol peaks in your blood around 7 am. So if you get up then, you may

experience tension. So you better get more sleep than you think.

Furthermore, it is attested that depriving the body from its rest isnt very

helpful to our health.

According to Baribal, humanity is a diurnal organism. By forcing it to go

nocturnal, the body is going against its nature, and the body is placed in far morestress. Also, on the school topic, people who do not sleep at night, but do so

during the day, tend to have more trouble focusing throughout the day. And much

like with work. They will always be under performing in school during the day as

well.

Also, according to Chelle, sleep deprivation can have some of the same

hazardous effects as being drunk. Getting less than 6 hours a night can affect

coordination, reaction time and judgment, they said, posing "a very serious risk.

Drivers are especially vulnerable, the researchers warned. They found that

people who drive after being awake for 17 to 19 hours performed worse than

those with a blood alcohol level of .05 percent.
