WTF does it do to the Nervous System?
• Sleep = regeneration of brain and body
• In certain states of rest, neuron regeneration happens within cerebral cortex and new memories, synaptic connections formed
• Without sleep, neurons might start to malfunction => brain is unable to receive and send new messages easily => body experiences cognitive (mental) difficulties

Symptoms and affected parts of brain
• Insomnia mainly affects central nervous system
• Temporal lobe: slurred speech
• Prefrontal lobe: Irritability, difficulty concentrating and focusing on daily tasks
• Parietal lobe: body begins to slow itself down to be in a state of rest (ex.: falling asleep in class)
• Losing 12 straight hours of sleep has same effect on the body as one to two alcoholic beverages
