Media Influences
"Project X" Movie all about partying staying up late and not sleeping! Shows teens partying and having a good time, afterwards the next day in the movie the kids are praised and the party is regarded as a positive thing. This example shows that sleep isn't needed and you'll be just fine the next day if not better. "Hangover" Movie about a group of friends' night in Vegas. After partying all night they wake up groggy and disoriented. Look sick, get in lots of trouble and is hard for them to get their bearings for a while due to staying up and partying. Shows more negative consequences, loss of memory etc...
