Hello!
I have to do a Bilogy project for school. It is about reaction times under different conditions.
What I need you to do:
1. Place yourself in one of these categories: a, Feeling normal b, Tired c, Very emotional (angry, sad, nervous, etc…) d, Drunk/stoned e, Under external influence (Like loud music, or if someone is annyoing you right now, etc.)
2. Go to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/sheep/ and follow the instructions.
3. Post your category and average time here!
By the data I have so far, it seems that apart from the ’‘Drunk’’ category, the results have only small differences. What do you guys think about that?
Thanks a lot!

Doing that is slightly addictive. I hope the project goes well for you!
Edit: Also, welcome to Fluther!
Under external influence: Ambling Armadillo
I am a rocketing rabbit.
I’m not sure what category to place myself in. I am now in week 5 of violent vertigo so I’m guessing drunk/stoned or under external influence??? But you can decide.
This was fun!! Thanx and good luck with your experiment.
