Asked by Melissa

Sleep deprivation for a period of several days results in

a. dizziness, slurred speech, and hallucinations in everyone.
b. a loss of skill, such as that needed to play arcade games
c. a total loss of ability to concentratel; even the simplest taks cannot be completed
d. minimal effects in some people who have control of the situation


Okay, i cannot figure this one out. Here are my reasons:
a. not EVERYONE sees hallucinations
b. your motor skills are effected, but you can play video games still
c. you can concentrate on things you want to for a short peiod of time, your concentration is not COMPLETELY gone
d. i don't think a person can control what happens to them

Does anyone know the answer??
Answered by Ms. Sue
I agree with you. None of the answers seems right. However, b may be the best answer. You'd lose skill and your eye-hand coordination would diminish.

Vietnam taught me one can keep performing without sleep for long periods if it is of grave consequence to fail to do so.

Oh, I swear I saw it there. Anyways, I was just saying that she needed to concentrate on the fact that it was over a period of SEVERAL DAYS, and it could do major things to your body. (and plus, on letter a, I think it means that the sleep-deprived person sees everyone else as hallucinations or they see hallucinations on everyone else.)
Answered by Ms. Sue
I deleted your answer because it is wrong. Here's the definition of hallucination from Dictionary.com.

"1. a sensory experience of something that does not exist outside the mind, caused by various physical and mental disorders, or by reaction to certain toxic substances, and usually manifested as visual or auditory images.
2. the sensation caused by a hallucinatory condition or the object or scene visualized.
3. a false notion, belief, or impression; illusion; delusion."

The question: <i>a. dizziness, slurred speech, and hallucinations in everyone.</i> This means that everyone experiences these symptoms, including delusions and imaginary images.
