Average person, Dad, here to read differing opinions

@JustinPicheh @PeterW89468561 @StamatakisCPA That seems like a really far stretch comparison. A person that kills a police officer like we’ve seen these past weeks intends on killing a person. A company that makes a decision for profit does not intend to kill their employee they just see a risk as worthy Not the same at all

@RobShaw_BC @Dave_Eby @bcndp Your guess was really close 👍

@Adam_Stirling My assumption when I heard this was that her care team is one entity and the professionals that did the review and did not come to assess her was a second entity. I could be wrong.

@JasonThorne_RPP I’d be scared to get hit by care hopping the curb on both sides…

@renomate @bikeshopgirlcom Total nitpick, but I’m just interested in learning more of the technology.

It is doing way better than my chain and casette bike that’s for sure!

[Ben Lanthier @LanthierBen]

@renomate Wrong answers only… I’m going to say bike rack because it obviously doesn’t function as one… 😬

[Ben Lanthier @LanthierBen]

@RobShaw_BC Whatever happened to keep it simple…?

This is your brain on sleep deprivation.

Scientists in Canada launched the largest study on how lack of sleep affects the brain.

They created games that tested skills like reasoning, language comprehension & decision making.

They had one participant repeat these tests in an MRI machine.

Here's what they found:

On the left is a normal night of sleep.

On the right is when it's deprived of 4 hours of sleep.

The colored areas are the activity happening in your brain. Notice the lack of activity on the right side.

Researchers found there was less activity in the frontal & parietal lobes, which are crucial for decision making, problem solving & mood control.

You are simply not at your best when you don't get enough sleep.

Another study done at the University of Oslo found that lack of sleep leads to reduced clearance of substances from the brain.

These substances are many of the same waste products that are seen to accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

Some recent studies suggest that poor sleep contributes to higher levels of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, which lead to the amyloid plaques found in the Alzheimer's brain.

If you want a healthy brain avoid long term sleep deprivation.

What should you do?

• When deprived of sleep avoid making big decisions & pause before reacting to an emotion.

• Fix your sleeping habits. If you can't get enough hours, focus on increasing your sleep quality to make up for it.

Sleep is the best legal performance enhancing drug on the planet.

Make it a priority now so you can protect your brain for later.
