HELLO blog.
i came across this sleep test today, and since i'm like always sleeping during lectures (OOPS!=x), i thought i should just do it. HAHA. after doing it, i realised there are some stupid and weird facts bout sleeping. =/I copied and paste SOME of the weird or funny results. I think some of the explanations are kinda stupid and to think that it's actually from BBC. HAHA.
Q: Dolphins do not sleep
You said: True
Incorrect - dolphins do sleep, but only with one half of their brain at a time. They are conscious breathers, meaning they need to keep breathing while they sleep. (I THOUGHT EVERYONE BREATHES EVEN WHEN THEY SLEEP! no??)
Q: Cows can sleep and dream while standing up
You said: True
Incorrect - cows can sleep standing up, but can only dream lying down. (I think this is so dumb lah! lol. only dream while lying down. Maybe we should ask benson to find out. since he's going to AUS, where there are MANY cows! HAHA.)
Q: What is the current record for the longest period without sleep?
You said: 7 days
Incorrect - the answer is 11 days. In 1965, Randy Gardner, a 17-year-old high school student, stayed awake for a record-breaking 264 hours (about 11 days). Four days in he began hallucinating and thought he was a famous black footballer. Surprisingly, Randy was actually functioning quite well at the end of his research and he could still beat the scientist at pinball.(WAH. cool man. If only i can sleep for ELEVEN days! I'll be able to lose... 21357065790564604kg! =x)
Q: It is possible to sleep with your eyes open
You said: False
Incorrect - many parents claim their babies sleep with their eyes open or partially open. Sleepwalkers are technically asleep even though they have their eyes open and appear to be awake. (I wish i could do that. WAHAHA. Imagine being able to do that when you have to listen to someone you don't really like listening to. oops!)
Raquel and Valencia should stop laughing and BETTING on whether i will fall asleep during lectures! Sleeping actually plays a significant role in BRAIN DEVELOPMENT okaaay! (:(: Aiya, but i think i'm always sleepy due to super short attention span and being too full. =x SO, in future i shall ermerm, 1) eat lesser during lunch? (so i can also cut down on the calories too) and 2)not sit at the corners (it's like SUPER comfortable to sit at the corner lah! like u can lean on the wall... then in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... back to dreamland! =x) and and 3) make myself think lectures are such EXCITING things to listen to or 4) imagine dr lim is some super hero that i admire so i will keep awake. HAHA. I've decided to stop sleeping during lectures lah! my grades are like OMG-SO-LOUSY. so anyone out there please suggest something to keep me awake! HAHA. thank you! (:
awwww. so cute! (:
love, orange
