Garrett pulled an "all-nighter" before his chemistry exam. What consequences will Garrett likely experience as a result of staying up all night to study? Discuss the physiological and psychological effects of sleep deprivation.
What will be an ideal response?
Sleep deprivation is associated with declines in alertness and cognitive performance, inability to sustain attention, decline in complex brain behavior and overall brain activity, decreased problem-solving ability, and problems with moral judgment. Although Garrett's intent was to increase his score, sleep deprivation will likely cause memory deficits and will likely decrease his performance in the exam.
