Sleep Deprived Determined from Slurred Speech

Brian Yalung — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:00:31 +0000

It is quite obvious that the way we sleep can alter various mannerisms we do, including the manner to which we talk. Normally, we have slurred speech diction when we are drunk and often, people lacking sleep are mistaken to be drunkards. This is not really the case.

When we lack sleep, we are tired and once we are like that, pronouncing the right words in the way the people understand them to be, becomes hard to understand. But just to set the records straight, there is a distinct difference between a well-rested person and someone who drinks so much. Being tired is one thing but abusing your body due to alcohol is another.

Boyce and her team theorized that the differences between the speech of people lacking sleep and those who had a good night’s rest would be comparable to the differences between conversational and “clear” speakers.

“Clear” speech occurs when a person articulates or even over-emphasizes syllables, words and phrases — such as when addressing a formal gathering, talking to people who are hard of hearing or for whom the spoken language is not their native tongue.

A word like “police,” for example, might sound more like “blees” in conversational speech, but like “poe-lees” in clear speech.

Dream Interpretations with Life

It is automatic for people to dream. For some, these are subconscious mannerisms which may eventually be forgotten once a person awakens. However, dreams have a certain superstitious belief which makes them something worth analyzing. There are various points and analysis that may be given, but the thing is, people would have to remember them first before they can be properly evaluated.

The thing is, most of the time, dreams are forgotten. Some people may hold certain parts of their dream but if asked to narrate them as a whole, there will most certainly be inconsistencies. Some may even misinterpret them or fabricate them according to what they want to come out. But the gist of the dream is the most important aspect about it. It is the point where interpretations will start and make people think of why such dreams were given to them and for what purpose.

No one can justify how dreams are made of. But for sure, some may like or dislike what they mean. They are subconscious thoughts that need to be evaluated. The last means of accepting what dreams truly stand for would depend on the people in the end.
