Chemicals in our brains cause us to have sleeping problems as our circadian rhythm gets thrown off and causes teens to start going to bed later and later. I realized this was happening to me a while ago and it didn't really bother me, and I didn't bother to correct it. But when this project was assigned, i had become more curious about sleeping schedules and how our sleep works, so i wondered if there was statistics that i could follow to see how many people experience sleeping problems, and sure enough, people have been doing surveys on people to see how good or bad their sleep schedule or sleep experience is. I wanted to see if there is a correlation between someone's sleeping schedule and age, or if stimulants affect people's sleep patterns. ]]> 2021-06-05 02:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1586559557 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1586629228 https://www.consumerreports.org/sleep/why-americans-cant-sleep/]]> 2021-06-05 04:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1586629228 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1586629731 https://www.sleepassociation.org/about-sleep/sleep-statistics/]]> 2021-06-05 04:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1586629731 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601115822 This article uses many percentages to show how bad people's sleeping has gotten now, comparing different times, different sexes, which people take drugs to sleep, and different ages. All of these are listed as variables for people, talking about how people have different sleeping patterns, and they change from person to person depending on these variables. They really show that simple changes in people's lifestyle can really affect people really hard. For example, the act of going into puberty can really change everything in your life, it makes you get taller, grow more hair and release more chemicals. Those chemicals will change the way the brain works, giving it different signs, or changing when chemicals get pumped out, which could make it get pumped out quicker or later, depending on which chemical type it is. Because of this, chemicals that get children asleep that would be getting released at 7 or 8 are now being released at 12 or 1 because the brain is sending it out much later. Now this is only one part of the entire article I decided to focus on but it's still a very important part of this report as its the main idea that i'm following.]]> 2021-06-11 14:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601115822 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601329469 This article gives more information on sleeping problems and disorders then the last one. It has more percentages and statistics that have very valuable information about sleeping disorders and the people that have trouble sleeping. It also gives us information about the types of sleep disorders and which people have it or how they are developed in the brain. It also talks about the dangers of not sleeping, such as drowsy driving, which is on par with drunk driving and texting while driving in terms of danger, stats on how obesity could be related to less sleep and just the possibility of sleeping in the middle of the day, which could be bad in really any situation. It also shows hows the recommended amount of sleep that people are supposed to get, showing that teens need around 8-10 hours of sleep. Many adults suffer from many different types of sleep problems, like narcolepsy, insomnia or sleep apnea and really just anything that disrupts people's sleep patterns on the regular or creates a “barrier” for sleeping, making it harder for people to fall asleep or stay asleep.]]> 2021-06-11 15:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601329469 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601343375 https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/data_statistics.html]]> 2021-06-11 15:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601343375 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601559961 This article talks about really similar things that the other articles talk about, sleep problems, how long people sleep, how long they should sleep and what causes sleep deprivation. Each website gets more information then the last since this has the geographical location of which states get the least about of sleep. It then goes into more detail about which cities get the least about of sleep and you can see that the cities next to each other transfer to each other, like you can see trends and how they transfer county to county. It really goes into detail to which races sleep the most, sexes, if heath problems will affect how much sleep people will get compared to people without sleep problems. It also shows if chronic illnesses will affect sleep patterns. It then goes into the high schoolers and all the variables that go into the sleep patterns, like sex, age, race, and try and compare those to the adults answers, or to put the results of differant parts of the high schoolers, like a white guy and compare those results to maybe a black women to see how their sleep patterns differ from each other. ]]> 2021-06-11 17:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601559961 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601614888 Now while i do believe that all of the articles that i chose were very important and reliable, i trusted this one the least as it wasnt a organization that worked exclusively with sleep or was a government division that has a part of it that talks about sleep, sleeping problems and sleeping disorders. Although it had very similar information to the cdc, it was still checked by multiple sources to see if the information was close enough or completely correct. I would not exactly say that it is the smartest source to use, but i would say that it is kinda reliable since it had correct information and correct stats, just it being on a non sleep related website made it a bit iffy.  ]]> 2021-06-11 17:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601614888 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601626184 Looking at the information and statistics in the article, you would think that it has very correct information and that it's up to date, and you would be right since this is the American Sleep Association. It actually might be more reliable then the cdc (shown below) as this department is specifically made for sleeping and its relations. I also used this as a fact checker since its information seems very credible and true. It has a lot of information to gather and was very important in this report as it might have been the article that i learned the most from. It gave me the most statistics that were still usable, and it gave me information that i didn't even know i would need, like sleeping problems and disorders. It's a very reliable source with some very good information and stats. ]]> 2021-06-11 17:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601626184 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601626481 Since this a government department, it will most likely have the most important and correct information, so i used this as kind of a fact checker. This had most of the information that the other articles drew from and used, it was quite easy to check the information and see if it was a good source of info. Other than that, the information seemed credible to other articles i read and the info seemed to also check out when it came to city or state sleeping patterns.]]> 2021-06-11 17:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601626481 williamaylmer https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601680493 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zW-Qvvl2I5vxcEQZpwgArdbS6Hz130-aE2Ub0TrHY4c/edit#slide=id.gdd9b5f71ec_0_115]]> 2021-06-11 18:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/williamaylmer/gcebj932z82cj4n0/wish/1601680493
