In the end, a car is not the best bed to sleep in. Especially if you just got back into your car from a long weekend in the city. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to hear the sound of a car engine for a couple of hours while I’m trying to sleep.
A recent study found that the sound of your car is not just annoying in the car, but can disrupt your sleep. The study involved a group of people in their sleep. The people in the study were told to spend two hours trying to fall asleep while a sound of a car was played in the background. After two hours, the car sound was still playing in the background.
If you want to hear the sound of your car, you have to turn your car off and put it into reverse. I actually don’t think that was their original intent. I think they were trying to make it seem like the noise you are hearing in your sleep is a bad thing, like the sound of your car is making you sick. But the study has an interesting follow-up study that shows that you don’t actually do harm to your sleep if you turn the sound off.
My colleague, David, and I, have done a study where we had four different drivers in our car and we let each of them sleep in their cars for four hours at a time. We asked them to go to sleep and every time they woke up, we would ask them to listen to the car sound. We only let one person sleep and that was the same person who had the car sound playing every time he woke up.
So in essence it seems like, you only harm yourself if you turn the sound off. As long as you’re not trying to sleep, you might as well not worry about it.
As it turns out, this is a pretty good study tool. What the study found is that people who were asked to sleep for an hour didn’t put up much of an effort to sleep. Their brain activity was low during both the awake and the sleeping state. However, people who were asked to sleep for two hours put in more effort to their brain activity, which would be expected if they had been trying to sleep for two hours.
How is that possible? I mean, if you are trying to sleep during a car ride (which is what most people do) then you are probably getting enough oxygen, right? Not really. You may have been resting your brain, but it doesnt’t produce much oxygen.
The idea that we’re using our brains to sleep has been around for a long time, but the scientific explanation is a little more complicated. The brain is an incredibly complex organ. It has many different cells, a lot of different areas of the brain, and a lot of different connections between those areas, all of which are connected to each other.
One of the more complicated things about our brain is the fact that we have to keep our neurons and synapses alive. When you have a neuron, your brain cell is alive for 10 minutes. But when you have a synapse, your brain cell is alive for ten minutes. If you have a lot of neurons, you will have a lot of synapses, but if you have a lot of synapses, you will have a lot of neurons.
This is where the sleep problem comes in, because synapses and neurons are not the same thing. So when you have too many of one thing, you have too many of something else. At the same time, your brain cell is alive, but your synapses aren’t. So while your brain cell is alive, your synapses are not. You are not getting enough sleep.
