Short-term effects of sleep deprivation can include compromised
brain functioning, increases in stress levels, excessive
sleepiness, and mood shifts. Long-term consequences of sleep
deprivation may include increased risk of depression,
hypertension, and onset or worsening of chronic health conditions
(more on this later). Whether the sleep deprivation is caused by
a nightly disturbance or staying awake for five days straight, it
can be linked to a decline in overall performance.
Sleep deprivation usually occurs when people reduce the amount of
time they sleep. This can include once-in-a-while situations and
events that are recurring that would deprive you of sleep. To
avoid sleep deprivation, it’s recommended that adults sleep
around seven to nine hours each night.

■次号予告
What are the effects of staying awake for long periods of
time?-3-
Set on a North Dakota Ojibwe reservation, Love Medicine-the first
novel from master storyteller and National Book Award-winning
author Louise Erdrich-is an epic story about the intertwined
fates of two families: the Kashpaws and the Lamartines.
With astonishing virtuosity, each chapter of this stunning novel
draws on a range of voices to limn its tales. Black humor mingles
with magic, injustice bleeds into betrayal, and through it all,
bonds of love and family marry the elements into a tightly woven
whole that pulses with the drama of life.
(amazon.co.jp)
Inside of his book, adventurous Harold (Zachary Levi) can make
anything come to life simply by drawing it. After he grows up and
draws himself off the book's pages and into the physical world,
Harold finds he has a lot to learn about real life--and that his
trusty purple crayon may set off more hilarious hijinks than he
thought possible. When the power of unlimited imagination falls
into the wrong hands, it will take all of Harold and his friends'
creativity to save both the real world and his own. Harold and
the Purple Crayon is the first film adaptation of the beloved
children's classic that has captivated young readers for decades.
