“People who work early in the morning or late at night- or lack sleep in general- Have higher rates of diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure” (par5lne2/3). This quote really stuck out to me because I honestly never knew sleep had anything to do with those health issues. I thought diabetes was just an eating issue. The impact this article will  have on my sleeping habits the most would be not to stay up all night then have to wake up early in the morning for school. Also,  I believe all the test they performed where accurate, since they used more than just one person. In my opinion I’ve never knew that being sleep deprived was that harmful to your body cause usually is you don’t get no sleep you would either be really hyper or really cranky I never really thought how it was effecting the inside of my body. Lack of sleep could also change the RNA in you body this would change the rhythmic pattern of the way they turned on and turned off. In this article i found out that sleep is an very important thing to stay healthy. “According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 30% of civilian adults in the U.S. say they get six or fewer hours of sleep. That suggests that millions of people might be sustaining damage to their bodies.” (par16lne1/2), this was another quote that stood out to me cause some people barely ever get at least five hours of sleep a night when the healthiest amount is eight. Since younger teens don't know much about this problem I believe its very important that we stress this upon them and  save them from the consequences later. In the title the author tals about how lack of sleep could cause “Genetic Consequences” , genetic disorders is an abnormal DNA what if this could be hereditary to your kids ?
