Dement brings in a scenario of a teenage death to their parents due to sleep deprivation which had no link to the previous topic and was not expanded on to tie it back to the main idea of the paper (Dement 499). Dement proceeds to explain a message he presented to his students at Stanford about the dangers of sleep deprivation, which does not give credibility to the article and becomes useless information (Dement 499-500). When beginning the section about alcohol and sleep deprivation, the author chose to use a useless example about children being current on their sleep to commence an unrelated idea (Dement 503). Dement attempts to relate
When I was 12, my grandmother passed away from Multiple Myeloma. Back in the early nineties, there was no real grasp of what this disease was, let alone no hope for treatment. She spent the last two months of her life in a hospital bed, withering away before our very eyes, and a shell of my grandmother. She was in pain, despite the heavy doses of morphine she received.

Rolling in Ecstasy: MDMA Use in the United States Many people may find it difficult to believe that a drug claimed to be able to kill within one usage actually is beneficial and safe for treating a wide variety of medical diseases. This is especially the case for the infamous and reportedly deadly “club drug,” MDMA or Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. MDMA was first synthesized by Merck Pharmaceuticals in 1912 as a potential headache medication, but after finding no connection they deemed further studies unnecessary. This caused the drug to essentially vanish until 1977, when a chemist by the name of Charles Shulgin took a second look at MDMA and discovered that Merck may have been very wrong.
