How Does Brown Prevent Chronic Sleep Deprivation?

sleep is essential for our health and wellbeing. It allows our body to rejuvenate and restore itself. It helps the body to create new cells. Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest causes of premature aging. Tiredness can significantly affect your mood and how you feel. Sleep can help lower blood pressure and elevated levels of stress hormones. Your cardiovascular system is constantly under pressure and sleep helps to reduce the levels of stress and inflammation in your body. High levels of "inflammatory markers" are linked to heart disease and strokes. Sleep can also help keep blood pressure and cholesterol levels (which

Thesis: Sleep deprivation can lead to serious health problems, make you forget information, and have a negative impact on the outlook of life.

In the article from LA Times “Sleep Deprivation Has Genetic Consequences Study Finds,” Eryn Brown claims that not sleeping enough can be unsafe for our health. Brown says sleep deprivation shuts down genes that heal the body, which means the body can’t heal itself and leads to disease. She supports her claim by citing expert opinions from epidemiologists, then biologist say that people who don’t get enough sleep, create more stress hormones, and finally researches also had some test done. Brown is writing in a informative tone for the general public readers of LA Times.“Epidemiologists noticed that people who work early in the morning or late at night or who lack sleep in general-have higher rates of diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure, among other ailments,” (5).“Biologist have discovered that people that get poor sleep produce

In the article from LA Times “Sleep Deprivation Has Genetic Consequences, Study Finds,” Eryn Brown claims that being sleep deprived can be hazardous to our health. Brown addresses that people who don’t get a consistent eight hours of sleep, are most likely to be obese and suffer cardiovascular woes. He supports his claim by subjecting some volunteers to help prove his argument, analyzing blood from the volunteers, and looking at changes in the RNA. Brown writes it in a serious tone to make his us more aware of the effects of sleep deprivation. This is evident in paragraph twelve where it says, “ They found that losing sleep changed rhythmic patterns in the way genes turn on and off…”, and in paragraph six where it states some of the health risks. In order to have us understand the importance of sleep deprivation, Brown demonstrates what happens when we are sleep deprived by having volunteers get only six hours of sleep. He also demonstrates what happens when we aren’t sleep deprived by having volunteers get ten hours of sleep. For example, the RNA tests showed that when we are sleep deprived, our genes involved inflammation, immunity and protein damage, and tissue harm was occurring. Brown is effective on bringing his point across because he provided a lot of evidence to make his claim more impactful on his readers.

By reading this article I was able to answer my initial question that inquired how does sleep effect the body? In my eyes, this article is a reliable source because it was published by a M.D. on the Harvard Medical School website. Not only do I feel as if the website is reliable, but the information that is provided makes sense. The information was not all over the place and followed the previous topic in an order that flowed. While reading

In the article from LA Times “Sleep Deprivation has genetic consequences Study Finds” Eryn Brown discusses that being chronically sleep deprived can be hazardous to health. Brown says that since the studies conducted by the scientists disciplining the amount of sleep and how the brain reacts to it.Each report differed and damaged cells activated suddenly when meaning sleeping less can cause hazards for our health. She supports her claim by using various types of quotes, then by using textual evidence , and finally using the results that were manipulated by the scientific experiments. Brown writes it in a candid tone for the general public readers of LA Times. She references it by referencing every source she got it from, and the details of the studies conducted by the scientists In order to inform how sleep deprivation is harmful, Brown emphasizes the experiments used for adults on their brainwave signals. For example, “healthy adults...brain waves scans showed they slept” Brown is effective in informing her readers about sleep

The function of sleep is to promote restoration. The human body accumulates damages due to impact strain and from reactive oxygen species that damage cells and buildup during times of activity (Sleep-wake cycle, 2006). During sleep, most of the body's systems are in an anabolic state, helping to restore the immune, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems (Sleep-wake cycle, 2006). Most of the body has restorative processes that can supplement the restorative processes that happen during sleep for long periods of time, but the brain is more reliant on regular intervals of sleep for restoration as quiescent restoration is insufficient (Sleep-wake cycle, 2006). When the body does not get enough sleep, most body functions work at diminished capacity. (Brain Basics, 2017). Sleep deprivation is defined as obtaining inadequate sleep to support adequate daytime alertness (Kryger, Roth, & Dement, 2005). The pathological effects of sleep deprivation can lead to undesirable physiologic

In this article from LA Times “Sleep Deprivation Has Genetic Consequences, Study Finds” Eryn Brown asserts that a lack of sleep affects the function of genes related to stress and cell renewal, possibly contributing to poor health. Brown states that the more people who suffer from less sleep have a greater chance of having their emotions and actions react to their lack of sleep. Brown supports his claim by saying “researchers detected changes in the way hundreds of genes were expressed in their bodies”, another one is “lack of sleep translates into disease”, the last claim is “suggesting that tissue harm was occurring after sleep deprivation”. Brown addresses it in a tone eligible for the people who are reading this (adults and teens). “Using blood to assess the molecular effects of sleep deprivation”. Supposing that sleep deprivation is bad for your health, Brown reveals how sleep deprivation affects your health. For instance, “ people who work early in the morning or late at night- or who lack sleep in general- have higher rates of diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure, among other

Carol Everson first recorded the affects of lack of sleep in 1989 based on work with rats. Her findings showed that all the mice that were deprived of sleep died within a month. She also showed that sleep does not need to be deprived entirely to be deadly, the deprivation of deep sleep (rapid eye movement or REM) would also cause the rats to die. In Italy, a case had been recorded of a man dying within a few months of developing familial insomnia. In his case, an autopsy was performed on his brain after death and neuron deterioration in the thalamus was found. They did not determine if the deterioration had caused his insomnia or his death. However, the cause of the deterioration was found, and that cause was linked to prions which cause spongy deterioration in the brain. While prions causing mad cow disease are ingested from the environment, the prions found in the man’s brain had been inherited and passed down within

In the first half, he uses details such as, “Our bodies need darkness to produce the hormone melatonin, which keeps certain cancers from developing, and our bodies need darkness for sleep.” Proving the point that in order to avoid those diseases, our bodies need that darkness. In addition, he also uses the fact,” Sleep disorders have linked to diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and depression…recent research suggest

In the article from the LA Times, “Sleep Deprivation Has Genetic Consequences, Study Finds”, Eryn Brown claims that sleep deprivation can be very hazardous for people’s health. Brown argues that sleep deprivation can result in gene inflammation, immunity, and protein harm which was caused by tissue harm. She supports her claim referring to an experiment done on people who suffer from sleep deprivation, then resulting in hundreds of genes in our bodies were amplified when people did not sleep for 24 hours, and finally gathering evidence from scientists that worked on this experiment. Brown writes in an informative tone to the readers of the LA Times. When Brown makes a claim, she supports herself by using evidence such as research done by epidemiologists

For example, chronic insomnia may increase an individual’s risk of developing a mood disorder, such as depression and anxiety. The most common effect of sleepless night is insomnia. In one major study of 10,000 adults, people with insomnia were five times more likely to develop depression. Lack of sleep may be an even greater risk factor for anxiety. In the same study, people with insomnia were 20 times more likely to develop panic disorder ( a type of anxiety disorder) ( Harvard Medical School, “Sleep and Disease Risk”). Not to mention obesity, Diabetes, heart disease and hypertension, immune function et cetera. All these health problems are linked back to sleepless

A study was completed by a Postgraduate medical student. The study revealed certain factors that could interrupt people daily day-to-day activities (October 2002). There are quite a few people who are not sleeping on a regular basis. An interesting quote was made by a writer by the name of Arianna Huffington. “Sleep Deprivation is the new smoking” (Huffington, 2016). Why is sleep deprivation called a new smoking? “Interesting concept” Huffington does a lot of research when it deals with sleep deprived individuals. This quote is a very powerful quote. Huffington is known as a great author who has written at least 15 books. She is a very knowledgeable author when it involves relaying facts about this serious sleeping disorder. She

Thesis Statement: Sleeping is a positive attribute, which gives you a better chance to be productive and live a healthier lifestyle.

As sleep researchers study sleep and try to unlock the mystery and the main purpose of sleep, they realized that some of the patients with heart diseases sleep deprived. Heart disease can be linked to high blood pressure which is also another health problem linked to lack of sleep. A persons chance of getting heart disease isn't just based on the amount of sleep they get. Exercise, smoking, an unhealthy diet, etc can also contribute to the illness. But sleep deprivation increases the chance of obtaining heart disease. Christina Boufis is a health and medical writer who covers an array of topics, but in her article "How Your Sleep Affects Your Heart" she explains why heart disease can come from lack of sleep. In her article, Boufis says, " One 2008 study from the University of Chicago found a link between shortened sleep and increased coronary artery calcification (calcium deposits), "a good predictor of subsequent coronary artery disease," says researcher Diane Lauderdale, PhD, professor of epidemiology at the university's Pritzker School of Medicine." Christina also agrees with Diane Lauderdale and explains how lack of sleep doesn't cause heart disease, but increases chances. Also in her article, she brings up fifteen different studies that involved about 475,000 people that found that people who suffered from lack of sleep had a forty-eight percent increased chance of attaining or dying from coronary heart disease. With this evidence, researchers and doctors can now help people lower the chance of getting heart diseases all through a simple cure, sleep. Not all heart disease can be eradicated by sleeping more, but this can lower a person's chance of getting it. Doctors have also found that better and longer sleep helps patients already suffering from heart disease. Heart disease can affect anyone, so a good night's sleep is always a beneficial way to the risks of developing heart
