Answer:
Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was born on November 16, 1930, in Ogidi, a large village in Nigeria. Although he was the child of a Protestant missionary and received his early education in English, his upbringing was multicultural, as the inhabitants of Ogidi still lived according to many aspects of traditional Igbo (formerly written as Ibo) culture. Achebe attended the Government College in Umuahia from 1944 to 1947. He graduated from University College, Ibadan, in 1953. While he was in college, Achebe studied history and theology. He also developed his interest in indigenous Nigerian cultures, and he rejected his Christian name, Albert, for his indigenous one, Chinua.
In the 1950s, Achebe was one of the founders of a Nigerian literary movement that drew upon the traditional oral culture of its indigenous peoples. In 1959, he published Things Fall Apart as a response to novels, such as Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, that treat Africa as a primordial and cultureless foil for Europe. Tired of reading white men’s accounts of how primitive, socially backward, and, most important, language-less native Africans were, Achebe sought to convey a fuller understanding of one African culture and, in so doing, give voice to an underrepresented and exploited colonial subject.

Answer:
Carskadon meant that teenagers use many things that affect sleep, creating a perfect environment for a sleep-deficient body.
Explanation:
The sleep defict is the term used to describe the "debt" of sleep that some people develop when they sleep little and do not provide the body with the rest it needs and that only well-slept nights can provide. This is very dangerous, as it promotes malfunction of the body in the long run.
There are several factors that can lead to a lack of sleep, such as constant use of computers and cell phones, sugary drinks, use of the bed to do activities other than sleeping and resting, processed foods, among others. Coincidentally, teenagers have all these factors making their lives a perfect storm of sleep deficit.
