Interlude (lagi)

Apa fungsi tidur? Menurut mereka, setidaknya ada enam alasan untuk tidur berkecukupan. Yaitu:

1. Learning and memory: Sleep helps the brain commit new information to memory through a process called memory consolidation. In studies, people who’d slept after learning a task did better on tests later.
2. Metabolism and weight: Chronic sleep deprivation may cause weight gain by affecting the way our bodies process and store carbohydrates, and by altering levels of hormones that affect our appetite.
3. Safety: Sleep debt contributes to a greater tendency to fall asleep during the daytime. These lapses may cause falls and mistakes such as medical errors, air traffic mishaps, and road accidents.
4. Mood: Sleep loss may result in irritability, impatience, inability to concentrate, and moodiness. Too little sleep can also leave you too tired to do the things you like to do.
5. Cardiovascular health: Serious sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, increased stress hormone levels, and irregular heartbeat.
6. Disease: Sleep deprivation alters immune function, including the activity of the body’s killer cells. Keeping up with sleep may also help fight cancer.

Hari ini, kebetulan gw punya kesempatan untuk tidur sebelum jam sepuluh. Prodik gw udah kelar sebelum waktunya (gw kangen begadang sampai malem kaya waktu di Kotak Rubik), urusan Deadline udah kelar (hari ini gw bikin proposal 13 halaman yang njelimet dari pagi sampai jam dua), dan enggak ada tugas lain dalam waktu dekat. Maka dari itu, lanjutan cerita tentang fase Bargainnya besok aja yak. Gw mau tidur. Muah.
