I am trying to find off the wall topics to relate back to economics. This and Betty Whites birthday were my two choices, I was upset when the article was just pictures with descriptions. But, in the article it states that they did a study on 22 people and letting them sleep through the night and then forcing them to sleep from Noon to 6:30 the second and third days. After taking blood samples all three days, the doctors found that the timing of gene activity in the body are extremely impaired. Everyone is wondering what does this matter to me well it matters because it affects your protein making abilities, and again what the heck is that? well it has everything to do with all chemical procceses, hormones athletic ability, mood and brain function, and it increases the possibility for heart attach and stroke. and this study was only set for 3 days we have no idea how the long term affects are.
First of all i still can't get over the fact that i couldn't do my blog on betty whites birthday. but this is interesting to me because a lot of people in my family work night shift and it is scary what it does to you. You would think that it would be the same but if you think about it there isn't much night life except for parties and if you are a nurse and you work a 12 hour night shift you aren't going to want to go to a party. But life happens during the day and i know a lot of people that really doing sleep much and that is HORRIBLE for anyones health. of Now to how it relates to econ, think about it people having heart attacks & strokes= nurses, the studies= scientist, hormones, and brain functions = doctors. so this is a problem and even though we have to have it, it is so dangerous, for americas health.
