the country are suffering from a health
problem that can be more detrimental to
their health than some forms of cancer.
What is it? Sleep deprivation.
Motivation: People are losing sleep daily, in
such a fashion that most have trouble
staying awake during work, driving their
cars, or even during classes. Looking out

deprivation in action.
Thesis and Overview: Sleep deprivation is
