A Third Of Life

I thought that the reading was somewhat interesting. The author used many different sources in his text, which seemed to be very credible. There were a lot of different interesting points that he made such as, humans spending about 25 years or more sleeping, the prescence of an alarm clock implies sleep deprivation, sleep is more responsible for deaths than drugs or alcohol, dolphins only put one half of their brains to sleep at a time, etc. I felt that the author was angry that people don’t sleep enough and that it causes accidents and health problems and was trying to get his point across to his audience. I believe that his audience was majority of different people. it seemed to be different for each section in his text. In some sections of his text, the passages are aimed at current students’ lives. He mentioned that we stay up late and get distracted from sleep by our sleeping enviornments. The author provided various amounts of information about what happens when humans are sleep deprived. Overall i believe that “A Third of Life” is credible..
