Oh man i feel for you. Around the 30 hour mark is when i really really feel it. I get all light headed and such. Yesterday I fell asleep outside the door of my bedroom because my room was messy. So i figured that i would lie down and get up in a bit, clean the room and sleep...14 hours later i got up, and no one in my family bothered to move me. They had to literally step over me.

According to research, teenagers aren't supposed to go to sleep until 1:00am, and wake up at 10:00-10:30am. It's the way our biological sleep patterns are set

the emotional part of a teenagers brain is larger than in the adult brain
you have a huge growth spurt in your brain right before puberty starts

Yeah but the frontal lobe is still developing. that's why we tend to have lapses in memory and such.

prior to birth, various portions of the brain are unmylenated and as they are used they become mylenated
thats why certain sounds (recognition wise), facial expressions, and more obviously speech abilities take time to develop

Yeah a teenager's brain is one messed up place.

yeah, in psych class we looked at a study that found that teenagers are more likely to confuse facial expressions. i believe the statistic was that they were wrong 40% of the time, im not sure though so don't quote me on the number.
haha the CM is so learned

dude
prior to birth

like
fetal development

i was refering to the frontal lobe, guess i should have made that clear. i was just going with your statement, that the facial expressions and such don't come until later in life.

thats almost my name!
haha
and i see
and yeah
it does
i believe the study found that only 40 or so percent of the neurons in the brain are mylenated at birth and after 6 months or development that number jumps to close to 90 or higher

Damage to the angular gyrus can cause acquired deep dyslexia, in which words are read aloud as other words that are related via semantics.
That was totally unrelated.
Carry on!
