@the.living.room.pod: The danger of sleep deprivation may not be how tired you feel. It may be how normal that feeling starts to become. it starts to feel. According to Michael Grandner, PhD, Director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, many people begin to feel as though they're adapting after several days of poor sleep. But research suggests something different may be happening beneath the surface. Reaction time, memory, decision-making, and strategic thinking can continue to decline, even as people report feeling more adjusted to their new normal. As Dr. Grandner explains, one of the challenges of chronic sleep loss is that our perception doesn't always keep pace with our performance. In other words, we may be getting more impaired without realizing it.
