Learning Challenge - Sleep Deprivation

-


In this blog I'm going to talk about a video I watched called " What would happen if you didn't sleep".

The video talks about sleep depravation in depth and gives some interesting facts. The video is worth watching and has some valuable information worth taking.

One thing that the video confirmed for me, that I already knew was that the chemicals adenosine and melatonin make our breathing and our heart rate go down when sleep.



One new thing that I learned that I did not know before was that. Caffeine works as way to block adenosine receptors pathways.



One new thing that I'm curious to explore is learning how to prevent the effects of sleep deprivation and how to sleep better. I plan on doing this by listening to the information in the video and reading articles and watching on the internet.

    Hey Hamza, I really enjoyed reading your blog! As someone who hardly ever gets more than 5 hours of sleep most days I really found your research interesting, I had no idea that the chemicals adenosine and melatonin make our breathing and our heart rate go down when we go to sleep, in fact I hadn't even heard of those chemicals before in my life, but now I know that if I'm looking to stay up a bit longer that a bit of caffeine will be sure to block them.

The game is based on The Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man, its available on PlayStation 4 and 5.  Its my favorite game because its really interactive and the game has a lot detail which  brings the comic to life. I also like the game because it has my favorite fights and characters and it makes me reminisce about the times when I watched the tv show and when I read the comics.

Game Brainstorm

  My first game idea is a simple idea, it’s to make a game where you would have to throw rubbish in a recycling bin, and it would have instructions saying what can and can’t enter the bin and it won’t have a time limit. The objects would be thrown diagonally and horizontally and to get them in the bin you would have the swipe them towards the bin. There won’t be lives but if you get the wrong object in the bin your score will reset. Or there could be levels, and you would have to reach a certain number of points to get to the next level and the point count would go higher after each level you complete. There would be something like milestone achievements, for example you could get ten points then you would get a text come down from the top of the screen saying something like “well done you gotten piece of trash in the bin”.   And as you progress throughout the game it will get harder, for example if you have more than 10 points or you’re on level 5 the objects would st...
