AARON CARTER
AARON CARTERS RISE AND FALL Have you ever wondered how much a superstar like Aaron Carter made during his career? Well, buckle up because we're going to examine his net worth and the disputed estate he left behind. Let's begin by imagining that it is December 7, 1997, Aaron Carter's tenth birthday. He releases an album with thirteen songs, and guess what? It becomes his claim to fame, selling over three million copies in the United States alone. However, fame isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Aaron's musical ambitions were put on hold as he grew up and instead focused on acting and reality TV. He made appearances in Liberty's Kid Family Affair, 7th Heaven, and Fat Albert before switching to lead roles in Supercross and Pop Star in 2005. He ended his music career in 2006 when he launched House of Carters, a reality show that featured all five Carter siblings—Nick, BJ, Leslie, Aaron, and Angela, and ran for two months with eight episodes. Regrettably, the attention had a dark side.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION
If you've ever been up all night studying for a test or caring for a fussy infant, you'll understand how bad the next day can be. Try doing it for 18 days, 21 hours, and 40 minutes straight. That is the current world record for the longest period of time without sleep. And no one should attempt to break that record. For starters, the Guinness Book of World Records discontinued it as a category in 1997, so you wouldn't even get a cool title for all of your awful efforts. For another, you could die. But you might be astonished to learn how sleep deprivation can kill you. Research indicates that it is not a neurological issue... but an entirely different organ. Sleep is amazing. Who doesn't enjoy an extra snooze? However, sleep is not only enjoyable; it is also healthy to our bodies. While we sleep, our brain does a variety of things. Some we are aware of, such as dreaming. But there is a lot going on behind the scenes. Sleep creates new brain connections, allowing us to learn and keep our important memories. It can also assist our brains in healing after an accident! Plus, our brains have a third shift cleanup team called the glymphatic system, which removes the molecular trash produced by our central nervous system during the day.
