Because you don’t have enough oxygen getting to your brain cells?
- greenbush 8y agoMaybe read the article first before criticizing it? :) The article specifically addresses that and explains how this is more complicated than just oxygen deprivation. "It’s not obvious why, though. The obvious culprit for reduced cognitive function is the thin high-altitude air depriving your brain of oxygen."
- speakeron 8y agoBut what the article doesn't address is that the same effect is seen in flying at high altitudes without supplementary oxygen, even in the absence of sleep deprivation, dehydration, and simple physical exhaustion.
