The content of the video relate to the events in the novel so far because in the novel the earth is slowing which means there is more light and less dark so your days are longer and nights are cut short. Which isn’t good for you or your body. The video is explaining what would happen to your body when it doesn’t get the sufficient rest it needs to operate. Or in some people case like Helen who has insomnia which her body isn’t able to go to sleep. So, she is also sleep deprived. Also, if you are sleep deprived you could have a stroke, fainting, and other side effects. Which Helen has the symptoms of gravity sickness that is fainting. So at any point in the day Helen could faint which isn’t good. ]]> 2020-01-07 15:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428464626 Jake Brand https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428464962 This video relates to the events in the novel because it explains what could happen when you suffer from sleep deprivation. It also stated that when you are sleep deprived you have a four and a half times higher risk of having a stroke or fainting, and many people in the book are fainting. All the symptoms of the gravity sickness relate to the ones that happen when you are sleep deprived. ]]> 2020-01-07 15:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428464962 Christian Sanchez-Medina https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428465698 How the video relates to the novel is since Julia’s mom isn’t getting enough sleep, this could cause her many problems, and even real timers as well. When she got into the crash, it was because she fainted, Julia was saying how this includes dizziness, fainting, and becoming anorexic. She seemed to be cold when it was pretty hot outside and she was covered by three covers, so her brain is making her think that its cold, (or she is actually cold) so she wants to be warm. Since she isn’t getting enough sleep she can’t clear that, because the video said that the Glymphatic System removes the waste better when the human is sleeping. But she can’t sleep, leading to worse and worse effects.

An example of this is how she is always tired and moody. I think that the gravity sickness is somewhat like not sleeping for a long time I think this because she also stays up for long periods of time this can cause sleep deprivation. Also the foreshadowing in the book talking about the mother might die could be accurate, I think this because sleep deprivation is lethal and the illnesses are alike.]]> 2020-01-07 15:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428466821 Otto Hellmund hell052 https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428468813 The video relates to the novel so far because Julia’s mom, Helen, because she is sleep deprived, paranoid, moody, which is caused by a low amount of sleep. She doesn’t have that much energy, and Helen may or may not be able to recover from the low amount of sleep that she gets, and may have a stroke and even die. In the video high school student, Randy Garner had all of these symptoms after being awake for 11 days, but afterwards was able to recover from it.

This video relates to the novel “Age of Miracles” because the main antagonist in the story is the slowing. Many people can not sleep when there is light outside and since most of them are going by the government time they sometimes have to sleep with daylight outside. Julia’s mother Helen, is an example of what happens when you do not get enough sleep. The video says that people that are not sleeping are prone to getting sick like Helen who know has the gravity syndrome.]]> 2020-01-07 15:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428468909 Leticia Lemann https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428470242 The video and the novel relate to each other because they both include topics such as sleep deprivation and the negative side effects to not getting enough sleep. In the novel Helen is sleep deprived due to her sickness and paranoia which leads for her to do worse things like running over a man and not being able to do ordinary chores as she would do every day without the sickness. In the video they talk about how sleep deprivation can affect the body and it shows most symptoms that Helen has even though her mental state could be involved in what causes these symptoms. In conclusion the the novel and the video have many key points that relate to each other.

Adults need 7-8 hours of sleep while adolescents need 10 hours of sleep. In 1965, 17 year old Randy Garner stayed awake for 264 (11 days) to see how the body would cope with sleep. Randy had multiple problems like being moody, can’t identify what object he touched, eyes stopped focusing, hallucinations, paranoia, and had trouble with short term memory. This can result in damage physically and mentally, damage hormones, illness, and in extreme cases death. In the novel, Age of Miracles, people are having trouble sleeping and keeping up due to either real time or clock time. This relates to the events, because people aren’t functioning well and Julia’s family is having trouble functioning properly. Especially Julia's Mom who is having either mass hysteria from the paranoid and stress or illness due to not being able to sleep as well.

The student named Randy Garter stayed awake for 264 hours. On the second day his eyes stopped focusing, next he lost the ability to identify objects by touch. By day 3 he was moody and uncoordinated. At the end of the experiment he had trouble concentrating, had trouble with short term memory, became paranoid and started to hallucinate. For others losing shut eye can result as hormonal imbalance, illness and in extreme cases death. During our waking hours cells are busy using our days energy sources which gets broken down to various byproducts including Adenosine. There is a cleaning mechanism for waste products known as the Glymphatic System. The Glymphatic System removes the waste build up.]]> 2020-01-07 16:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428471848 Mj Naranjo https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428473848 This video relates to the events of The Age Of Miracles so far, because it talks about what can happen if you are sleep deprived. It also, explains that if you have slept for only six hours or fewer you have a four and a half higher risk of having a stroke or fainting. In the novel, The Age Of Miracles, many people are fainting because of the “syndrom”, which is actually sleep deprivation. Since, the days have gotten longer because of the slowing, the people have slept for less hours.]]> 2020-01-07 16:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428473848 The Significance of Sleep Deprevation by: Kelly Svendsen https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428477348 In the novel The Age of Miracles, it is known that the slowing affected people’s circadium rythumn dramatically. Since the periods of darkness were increased signifigantly, each and every body was unsure when it was supposed to send out the chemicals to he rest of the body in order to help it sleep. With this occurance, it caused lots of contreversy in regards to the times of work and school hours. While some people chose to be real timers (following along with their body’s perception of when to go to sleep and wake up), others chose to be clock timers (people who rely on the clock to supply their times of their sleeping schedule). Meanwhile the clock timers had a more organized life, real timers had a sufficient amount of sleep. And as seen in the video, a lack of sleep can increase your chance of having a stroke, cause hallucinations, dull senses, and weaken focus. In the novel, those who followed clock times experienced these symtoms and some developed the slwoing syndrome. Along with this syndrome followed many unpleasant occurances all based off of hysteria and sleep deprevation. Therefore, it is unhealthy and dangerous to proceed with a life that is lacking sleep, body’s fuel.

In the book so far, we see that Helen is sick with “the syndrome”, and is often having restless nights. Though it is believed that the cause of the syndrome may all be mental, the sleep deprivation may still be playing a significant role. In the video it said that this could sometimes lead to death and although we know that Seth Moreno’s mom had cancer sadly, she may have also had sleep deprivation. Additionally, in the video it said 66% of kids/teens are affected or sleep deprived and in the story many kids leave class because they feel bad from “the syndrome” and though it could be that they just want to skip class it could also be that they are sleep deprived.]]> 2020-01-07 17:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428532222 Ryan Meltzer https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428537282 This video relates to the book Age Of Miracles, the reason why is because in the book the time of each day is getting longer. This can affect people because there would be light during the night and people would not be able to fall asleep. Also, this can make people be more moody or like Julia’s Mom she is always tired and she is paranoid sometimes. Helen does not have the energy to carry on with her day because she is getting less than 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Also, Helen’s circadian rhythm is messed up by the slowing that is why she can’t go to sleep. ]]> 2020-01-07 17:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428537282 Oscar Valencia https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428537707 The video relates to the novel because it shows the effects of losing sleep such as “hormonal imbalance,illness, and in extreme cases death.” This relates to “The Age Of Miracles” because it shows that how real timers and people that are diagnosed with the “syndrome” feel and what they suffer from.

This is caused by destruction of circadian rhythm meaning difficulty adjusting to the unbalance of light and day as well as night and darkness. The video states that adults should be getting on average of eight hours of sleep per night and children should be getting an average of ten. In "The Age of Miracles" , it is detailed that both Julia , her mother, and many other citizens are getting much less hours of sleep per night. Also, the video states that the symptoms of sleep deprivation are, slow instincts, change of mood and more. In the novel Helen experiences many of these symptoms.]]> 2020-01-07 17:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428539731 Nathan Ciattoni https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428539932 This video relates to the story because it tells about what sleep deprivation can do to you. In the novel, characters and other people in the world are getting less sleep because of the way the days are designed and the twenty four hour clock. So people might have the syndrome because of the lack of sleep they get from “white nights”. The mother has the syndrome which cause really bad symptoms and this could have to do with sleep deprivation. People could also end up dying from sleep deprivation because your brain overloads on “waste products.” Sleep is a very important asset to have had for the day.

In 1965 17 year old Randy garter stayed awake for 11 days the second his eyes stopped focusing and on the 3rd he was moody and uncoordinated at the end of the experiment he had hallucinations. In the novel people are having trouble sleeping with it the times being so unusual.]]> 2020-01-07 17:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428539970 Solene Fernandez https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428541123 This video talks about why humans sleep, what it does for us, and what the consequences of not sleeping for extended periods of time are. In “The Age Of Miracles” we see that the mom is not getting enough sleep and that many people can not sleep when the sun is out. This is causing a lot of health problems for people like the mom. We also know that the people who have been getting enough sleep (which I think Real timers make up a huge part of them) are doing much better than the people who aren’t and look healthier too. I think if people could get more sleep they might be able to cope with the stress of the slowing a little better.]]> 2020-01-07 17:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428541123 Rehan Alibhai https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428541414 In the video it states that sleep deprivation is a major problem with many symptoms. We have learned little about sleep so far. Some symptoms of little sleep are dizziness, hallucination, and death. In the novel we hear that Julia’s mom has been getting little sleep some nights and she has been feeling dizziness. While the nights that she got a lot of sleep she feels amazing. The information from the video is tied to the novel because in the novel all the facts of little sleep have been popping up with evidence within the novel.]]> 2020-01-07 17:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428541414 Nirvana Sharma https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428541783 In the novel, many are becoming sleep deprived due to the time shift. In the video, it is mentioned that sleep is connected to your mental well being and physical. These 2 are related because both the novel and video are discussing being sleep deprived and what it can cause. In the novel, the protagonist’s mom is sleep deprive which leads to her to have a lot of anxiety. The video mentioned that paranoia can be a side effect of losing sleep, Helen later gains a sickness that limits her from doing day to day chores and considering the different side effects it may be due to being sleep deprived. ]]> 2020-01-07 17:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428541783 Jorge Uribe https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428542491 People aren’t getting enough sleep because with the slowing the nights and days are longer which is throwing the circadian rhythm off balance with doesn’t let us sleep as much. Some of the effects that were described like dementia and the inability to identify things have been some of the symptoms of the sickness that is affecting people like the mother. Also we get signals when it's dark so you can’t really sleep during the day and the nights are just to long from the day. It says to get 6-8 of sleep for adults and kids need 10 hours if you don’t get the amount of sleep for a while the symptoms of the slowness and the sleeplessness come into play and effect us bad.

Sleep deprivation is a huge problem in the novel that comes up many times because Julia's mother can not sleep. Julia's mother has been showing signs of mass hysteria. She is unable to sleep and always worried and because of that she doesn't feel good and is always tired. Julia's mother is having trouble functioning and living life, for example Helen is not driving anymore. Julia's mother is not able to function because her lack of sleep and worrying. This happens to many people who lack in sleep, like the video stated.]]> 2020-01-07 17:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428543266 Growing Disaster https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428544906 Sofia korn

The content of the video relates to the story in a specific manner. The video has to do with how sleep affects people by accumulating too much data and garbage. In the novel, Julias mother is not getting enuogh sleep because she is too worried and scared for what is to come. She seems to not be functioning well and her body tries to give her the signal that she needs sleep. One example was the night of New years when she fainted. Unfortunately the incident was too quick and they hit someone. The man was killed instantly and left julias mother, helen, in more worry and nervousness than ever. As you can see, the video was displaying the consequences of not getting enough sleep.

She keeps on fainting and cannot sleep at her usual time. Even though people like her husband, Joel believe that “the syndrome” is mental, her sleep deprivation is a main symptom of the sickness. In the video it said that sleep deprivation can lead to death. When Helen fainted the first time, which could've been a result of sleep deprivation. The young man who was hit eventually died. In this case, sleep deprivation cause the death of another person. In the video it also states that 66% percent of juveniles have sleep deprivation like in the story when all the kids leave class early because they are suffering from “the syndrome.”]]> 2020-01-07 17:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428544975 Noa Cohen https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428559385 The video relates to the video and especially to the mom. I think that the mom’s sickness might be due to a lack of sleep and that her lack of sleep might be due to the sickness. What I mean is that she caught the sickness because she did not to sleep enough and now she is caught in a loop because she cannot rest. That is why she is moody, tired, and sick, and she often faints. This is why I think that the syndrome is related to lack of sleep and that lack of sleep is related to the syndrome. ]]> 2020-01-07 18:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428559385 Jan Garcia https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428625386 The video identifies with the novel The Age of Miracles in light of the fact that in the novel it becomes clear that an expanding measure of individuals endure with lack of sleep. This is brought about by pulverization of circadian beat meaning trouble acclimating to the unbalance of light and day just as night and obscurity. The video expresses that grown-ups ought to jump by and large of eight hours of rest for every night and kids ought to get a normal of ten. In The Age of Miracles, it is point by point that both Julia, her mom, and numerous different residents are getting substantially less long stretches of rest every night. Likewise, the video expresses that the side effects of lack of sleep are, slow senses, change of mind-set and that's just the beginning. In the novel Helen encounters a significant number of these indications.]]> 2020-01-07 19:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428625386 Jordan Mansfield https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428629581 The syndrome
This relates to the novel because people are not getting sleep in the novel because of the slowing. In the video a person doesn't sleep. In the novel Helen is not getting sleep. She has gotten the syndrome. She is very ill. This could be because of the lack of sleep she gets. All the symptoms could be because of lack of sleep just like in the video.]]> 2020-01-07 19:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428629581 Marcelo M. Lack of Sleep Leading to death? https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428629942 In The Age of Miracles real timers only sleep at night forcing them to stay awake for a much longer time . Due to longer days for real timers, they are awake for over two days. Many different dangerous symptoms can be caused because of this. This video explains all the terrible symptoms that can be caused due to lack of sleep. Real timers are going to get terribly sick due to the lack of their sleep. Helen might also be getting affected by her anxiety causing her the syndrome. Lack of sleep is probably going to sicken many others leading to terrible things including death.

In the novel, Helen has insomnia and the gravity sickness. Maybe her insomnia is giving her this gravity sickness and that’s why it might be affecting her. Also the real timers stay awake for too long which could also give them these symptoms. Another thing is that since the time is slowing down some people may not be able to get sleep in the broad daylight and might also start with these symptoms.]]> 2020-01-07 19:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428630305 Luna Duran https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428631450 The video relates to the events of the book because in the video it says if you don't sleep for a certain amount of time there will be consequences like sickness and even death. In the book Helen gets sick and she also has a lack of sleep. Her lack of sleep may be causing her sickness called "the syndrome".]]> 2020-01-07 19:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428631450 David T. https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/428631800 I think that the video helped me make the connection and maybe helped me find out what is causing Helen to be sick. The video listed some symptoms of sleep deprivation and they align with the symptoms that Helen is showing in the book. Maybe it's not gravity or anxiety. Maybe Helen just isn't getting too much sleep. You can't blame her. The slowing changed the sunup and sundown cycle. I think that Helen's circadian rhythm just hasn't adapted to the new time. And I think that she will not adjust to the daily cycle simply because it is always changing. In my opinion, if something does not stop changing, then it is very hard to adapt to it.

If you do not get the needed amount of rest the chance of you dying or getting mentally and physically affected is increased. A student tested what would happen without sleeping for days and some symptoms were hallucination, loss of focus, and incoordination. This relates to "Age of Miracle"s because the slowing can cause sleep deprivation and people such as Helen have gotten ill from it. She experiences some of these symptoms and also does not look her best.

You can begin to lose focus, not concentrate very well, and begin to see hallucinations. Lack of sleep can also eventually lead to death. Sometimes lack of sleep is genetic, this called Fatal Famillial Insomnia and cannot be prevented.

People will be uncoordinated, and students won’t be able to pay attention in school. People at work won’t be able to concentrate, and the overall structure of society will collapse.

The video relates to the events of the book because . in real life if you dont get the necessary amount of sleep you can start hallucinating, and it can even cause death. Some of the most serious potential problems associated with sleep deprivation are high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure or stroke. Other potential problems include obesity and deppression. Chronic sleep deprivation can even affect your appearance, just like Julias mom, Helen.]]> 2020-01-09 22:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/429758203 Matthew Ahlers https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/430188083 I feel like this video helped me understand more about sleepiness. In the novel many people are becoming sleep deprived due to the mental state of those people. In the video, it shows us that sleep is connected to your mental and well being. These are both connected because the novel and the video both talk about being sleep deprived and also what can cause it. Like in the book Helen is sleep deprived due to her mental health because of hitting that man. When she is told that he survived she is relieved and gets that mentality away. Not being able to do chores or being limited to doing them, this might be caused because of being sleep deprived.

People, like Helen, are going through “the sickness” makes them stay up at night or even countless nights. As the video said, people can get sick from lack of sleep and even start to become angry or defensive. These are some of the actions Helen takes, she becomes very angry and defensive, while also becoming very sick in the process, so this whole sickness may be from lack of sleep at night. Also, I imagine sleeping in pure light, must not be the best and may even keep others up at night because based on studies in our world, light from our phones or from large light sources can keep us up at night, so the light from the sun may also be keeping people up at night which may make them stay up which leads them to becoming sick.]]> 2020-01-12 18:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/430510971 Mica Navarro https://padlet.com/schj/ktajxayoxuht/wish/431077857 The content of the video related to the events of the novel so far because the video talks about negative results of not getting enough sleep. In the novel Julia’s mother is experiencing an illness called “the syndrome” which could be a result of not getting sleep. What led me to think this is that Julia’s mom is restless at nights and can’t seem to get sleep. Julia’s mom is also moody and paranoid which are symptoms of being sleep deprived. The thing they call “the syndrome” might just be a cause of not getting enough sleep.
