1st Blog post

I have two research questions. How does sleep deprivation affect your health? If you have sleep deprivation, will it benefit you to take sleeping pills? I settled on these questions because I have sleep deprivation and would like to know more about the topic. It will benefit me and others to get a better knowledge of sleep and how to get more of it. Sleep deprivation is timely because it affects many Americans. It is important to address this topic because there are ways to overcome this problem and some people might not know they have this problem. People should care about sleep deprivation because it can affect your health. I expect to find information that can benefit people and explain what it is and a prevention for sleep disorders. Also about pills and how it can benefit you or harm you. The preliminary research that I have done was look at different sources through the library.Yes, I am coming across different scholars that have different outlooks on this subject. One different view is the medicine you can take. I would like to get more information and books and find more information to to see more different views on this subject. I would like more time to read and answer this question in the future. I think it is good to have different viewpoints because there are so many sides to a topic and never just one. Also think it is good to have different viewpoints because one person might think medicine is good for sleep deprivation whereas another person might be nervous to take a medication for the side effects it might cause. I am neutral as of right now but am leaning more towards the side effects it might cause. I could change my mind once I see different sides and arguments that are out there. Is this a good topic? Should I change my topic? Do you have any advice that could help me? I am not good at these kind of essays.

  1. I also have trouble sleeping so I can see where your coming from. This topic is something a lot of people will be interested in and will like learning about. I like how you talk about sleeping pills as well because some people pop sleeping pills like its their job and some people refuse to take them because they think that they are harmful. I would like to know exactly what side effects are caused by sleeping pills and if they truely are more helpful or more harmful. Deff put your personal experiences in the essay when it comes time to do that. Have you ever tried sleeping pills before? If not why? If so, did it work? did you have any side effects? Good topic
