What If Everyone Fell Asleep at the Same Time?
|
This is the show where I answer your questions about your world and my world. Let’s get started with our first question. James Q asks What if everyone went to sleep at the same time? Well, if everyone in the world decided to completely sync up their bedtimes, things would get pretty weird. To begin with, certain portions of the world would be sleeping during daylight hours. This would not only disrupt their natural circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle,, but would force them to work at night, making outdoor jobs, like construction and agriculture, very difficult. This regimented sleep time would also affect energy production and carbon dioxide emissions. While everyone is asleep, power grids would feel a sigh of relief and emissions would decline. But when everyone wakes up around the same time and starts using their lights and appliances, emissions would surge due to all the power stations firing up - something critics of Earth Hour have pointed out.,, And with people up and working at night, we would use more electricity for lighting than the 232 billion killowatthours the United States already consumes yearly for homes and buildings. Right now, this only accounts for 6% of the country’s total electrical use. Who knows how big this percentage would grow if the world adopted the same sleep time. Interested question though. Thank you for asking! Makayla H asks Why do people get car sick? People that feel sick or nauseous when traveling by car, airplane, or boat are all suffering from motion sickness., This happens when there is a conflict between what you are seeing and what your body is feeling., While the car is moving, your inner ear, which is responsible for your sense of balance, feels your motion., But if you are looking at your phone instead of out the window, your eyes don’t register the movement. This mix-up can result in feelings of dizziness, cold sweats, nausea and vomiting., All of that is bad stuff... But now for some good stuff, it’s time for questions about me and my world! Galaxy World asks o What would you do if you encountered an alien 👽? Well, I’ve actually encountered a lot of aliens. Many aliens visit the Life Noggin world. Some are evil. Some are nice. Others are made of spiders. And those are a little harder to love, for obvious reasons. Circlia does a great job of fighting off the bad aliens though. She's great. Rice Rat Have you ever had any wars in your World? Hmm I don't think so. Actually, come to think of it, we did have a small scuffle with a group of Alpacas, but they started it… They were just looking at me funny, you know? They’re just weird, ok? They’re weird looking. Anyway, do you have any questions about your world or my world? Let me know in the comment section below, Don’t forget to keep on thinking.
