Is it possible to make up for missed sleep on the weekends? Dr. Daniel Cohen investigated this prevalent belief by disrupting the circadian rhythms of a group of volunteers. Participants remained conscious for 33-hour stretches—equivalent to staying awake all night—and then slept for 10 hours. While the volunteers were awake, Cohen periodically tested their mental and motor skills. The sleep-deprived volunteers scored fairly well soon after waking, but as the hours wore on, the participants' ability to think clearly, as well as their reaction times, steadily worsened. The study implies that the chronically sleep-deprived may function normally for a short time but inevitably slow down, even if they attempt to catch up on their sleep.

Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative.

Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing.
