1. Students are fairly familiar with all-nighters. I haven't slept since two nights ago and feel like death, yet some people seem to get next to no sleep and do just fine. At what point does sleep deprivation become detrimental to the work? What hazards does it pose on wellbeing? Maybe look at the balance between sleep and good grades?
2. I used to have a heart condition called mitral valve prolapse. One day, the cardiologist said he didn't hear the telltale sound of the condition. Apparently, a decent part of the population has some minor insignificant for of mitral valve prolapse. Might be something worth looking at.
3. I got some hypothermia on the wilderness survival overnight at Boy Scout camp. That night it rained. After some scouts' shelters collapsed the counselors brought us back to the tents. I was unable to feel warm and to fall asleep after getting back and wearing all the dry clothes I brought and making a human cocoon with my sleeping bag. Could look at dangers posed by overnighters.
so sleepy...
