Sleep vs. The Body

For our benchmark, my group and I researched sleep as our topic and the effects that losing sleep can cause to your body and to your brain. Personally, I learned a lot about the topic. For example, I learned a lot about the specific hormones that are affected. One of these hormones is leptin, which affects your hunger. Meaning, if you are sleep deprived, your internal clock loses track of night vs. day and disrupts your hunger patterns, making it possible for diabetes/obesity. I had a lot of fun researching this topic because I learned a lot of new things that relate to my health. Website: https://hnur195.wixsite.com/sleepandnerves
