Even with the loss of sleep, Caspian’s mind was as active as ever. Thought after thought, they raced even when a finish line was never found. It was all understandable as he was still mourning the death of his friend,
“The Seems The Glitch in Sleep” by John Hulme and Michael Wexler. I think the main message is if you don’t solve the problem quick enough, the problem will get bigger.

It was made by three giant bed bugs torturing him. The glitch was moving very fast. After that there was the ripple effect, it is when the world have strange and very bad things happen. Then Becker got tortured by the bed again but this time his assistant Simly, helped. Then the bed bugs, Becker, and Simly fell down to the floor below.

David K. Randall, author of “Rethinking Sleep”, best supports his argument . One reason is that Randall has credible sources that show examples of his claim. Another reason is that Randall has credible sources from more professional people. Randall's claim is people need to consider sleeping in segments rather than 8 hour blocks.
Thesis: Sleep deprivation can lead to serious health problems, make you forget information, and have a negative impact on the outlook of life.
“Sitting at the dais, I felt tired but much too excited to think about sleep. I glanced around the room and smiling faces turned toward me. Someone asked whether I was ready to leave. I shook my head. ‘I'd like to stay awhile longer.”
Vishah jerked awake, his chains rattled with the movement. He was holding on to the void, it's hunger prefrable to the pain. Sleep was his only way to tell time. No guards to bring food. No candles to watch burn down. No sun. Just his body.
Fixing his eyes on the place where the light had shone down he searched for stars, clouds, the slightest hint of moonlight, yet found nothing, and shutting his eyes again, resolved to sleep until daylight. Before the numbness could swallow him, a crawling sensation on his right calf alerted him to the presence of some creature lurking there, a small animal with strength, insect or lizard. With a simultaneous kick of his right foot and flail of his left arm, he managed to smack it off, then laid as still as possible till the fire in his bones subsided. Sleep overtook him, smiling in the dark. He could

51-52) This poor decision, ended his life; just like some people who decide to go driving when they are too tired and get in a car wreck. Macbeth’s decision to fight instead of retreating, can also be an example of cognitive dysfunction. In addition to hallucinations, mood swings, and cognitive dysfunction, another effect sleep deprivation can have on the body is
A second effect of sleeplessness is seen in Macbeth's lack of trust for mortals. Macbeth no longer seems able to trust his old friends, or anyone else for that matter; his lack of sleep develops into paranoia. He orders the murder of Banquo and keeps it from Lady Macbeth, his partner in this entire evil feat. Both of these events of distrust show a lack of good judgment. Together, they again show that Macbeth’s lack of sleep is greatly affecting the way that he thinks, because he would never have acted in this way before. By ordering the death of Banquo, Macbeth slips deeper into the grasp of evil. As well, keeping this behavior from Lady Macbeth distances Macbeth from the one person who thought the same way as he did and who, even in the end, would defend him and his actions.
Kimberly, I think that your example falls under an atrocity rumor. The story of the Russian Sleep Experiment details deplorable acts committed on one group by another. The victimization of the group is described and researchers are depicted as treating their subjects poorly. Parts of this story may be true, but the majority of it is likely not true and instead an exaggeration, making the behaviors seem even more despicable than they actually were. Atrocity rumors help us understand the reason for these types of rumors, as groups conflict and the fire of the struggle between the opposing groups is fed by the fuel of the atrocious
