If you missed an entire night's worth of sleep how would you probably act and feel the next day?
Studies have shown that individuals deprived of sleep for 24 hours, brain activity decreases significantly (up to 6% for the whole brain and up to 11% for specific areas). In humans, sleep deprivation also results in a decrease in core body temperature, a decrease in immune system function as measured by white cell count and activity, and a decrease in the release of growth hormone. Sleep deprivation has also been linked to increased heart rate variability. Keep in mind that everyone requires a different amount of time to sleep per day, so reaction to sleep deprivation may vary person to person.

Are Chinese hamsters active and fun in the daytime?
yes and no, I have a Chinese hamster and he is active in day time. But he/she will sleep allot in the daytime also unless trained not to. To train a hamster to sleep at night and play in the day is hard but doable just play with them for 10 minutes every 2 or 3 hours during the day then after a few days slightly increase the play time and decrease the sleep time in the day and after a few days do it again. And soon your hamster will play in day and sleep at night.

What role does the sleep molecule play in regulating our sleep patterns and overall restfulness?
The sleep molecule, also known as adenosine, plays a key role in regulating our sleep patterns and overall restfulness. Adenosine builds up in the brain while we are awake, causing us to feel sleepy. When we sleep, adenosine levels decrease, helping us feel more rested and alert when we wake up. This cycle of adenosine buildup and decrease helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle and promotes restful sleep.
