"how much lack of sleep I usually get a good 7 or 8"
On the video I got this from, someone said: "If you need an alarm to wake up regularly, then you're not getting enough sleep."
On school days, I usually wake up before my alarm goes off because my brain is awesome. So I assume I'm doing fine. BTW that statement didn't go to medical school. IMO you might want to get more sleep than that because (assuming you're a teenager) your body is going through stuff and cliches tell me that you're supposed to get more sleep.

| I'd just like to inform you that you are misinformed. A lack of sleep does not directly cause cancer. It can lead to a lower immune system which can make you susceptible to other maladies, however cancer is not one of them. Cancer is a mutation of a cell that turns malign, this mutation generally happens at random or due to a high carcinogen level in your body. While there are many detrimental issues that may arise due to a lack of sleep, cancer is not one of them. |

Zipo, I'm sorry, but you're the one who's misinformed.

"There's no question that getting restful sleep is beneficial for both healthy people and those battling cancer, but now we have evidence that people who sleep less than six hours a night could be more likely to have dangerous polyps in their colon or rectum compared to better-rested patients. The study, which was published by the journal Cancer in October, reflects the first time anyone has ever found a link between sleep duration and risk of polyps, which are tied directly with the risk for colon cancer.
Polyps--the abnormal growths detected during a colonoscopy--can progress to become cancerous tumors, which is exactly what happens in about 10 percent of cases."

| @Electric, I'm open to the possibility of being wrong, however I would like to note that just because a study has been published doesn't mean that it is fact. Just because there is correlation does not mean there is causation. "Put simply, the findings don't prove that lack of sleep causes these polyps to occur." A quote from the same article. It has yet to be proven so the past truth stands. |

That was an excellent example of taking a sentence out of context. Let me rebut with the following and preceding sentences.
"Don't panic: Even if this newly discovered link is causal, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get colon cancer. Put simply, the findings don't prove that lack of sleep causes these polyps to occur. The results simply indicate that people who don't sleep much at night might have the same chance for developing colorectal cancer as other high-risk groups, such as people with a close relative who has been diagnosed with the disease or those with a diet high in red meat."
In other words, the findings don't prove that you will ABSOLUTELY attain polyps. The article already admitted before that only 10% of patients of colon cancer contracted it from sleep deprivation. There is, however, enough evidence and statistics to prove that a substantial amount of people (10% of 140,000 is 14,000 people) are being victimized through sleep deprivation.

| Allow me to rebut by putting the entire article into context: It is a study published for peer review. It is a hypothesis that has showed some promise, however it is still far from being fact. |

Likewise, it is even further from fact that sleep deprivation DOESN'T lead to cancer. Congratulations, you've dug your own hole.

| @ElectricBlaze, I'm picturing this debate as something similar to a Parlimentary debate in a Speech & Debate competition. As they do there, let us try to remain civilized in the debate. Also, would you rephrase your last rebuttal? |

I'm going to quote you.
"I'd just like to inform you that you are misinformed. A lack of sleep does not directly cause cancer. . . . While there are many detrimental issues that may arise due to a lack of sleep, cancer is not one of them."
Forgive me, but that does not at all sound like a hypothesis or something that _might or might not_ be true. You sounded quite sure of yourself there, almost as if you were speaking _facts_.
If you find yourself able to criticize someone's opposite testimony on the grounds that it isn't "factual" (especially given the fact that their argument lies on recorded evidence and statistics) while your argument possesses even less "fact," then you are literally standing on hypocrisy.

| I presented myself thinking it was fact. Then I was faced with new evidence and had to reevaluate my stance. I'm less arguing that it doesn't cause cancer than I am that it hasn't been proven. Thank you for opening my eyes to the possibility that I was wrong. Seriously. However I just want to have it be understood that neither of us presented fact. You presented a study that can be wrong just as much as what I previously said can. |
