Reflexes are important because they protect your body from stepping on sharp objects after you've come in contact with it.
One thing that could slow reflexes or reaction time is drugs such as alcohol, meth, crack, etc.

reflexes are important because you need them to survive. Like your reflex to touching something hot is to take whatever body part that is touching the hot thing to take it off, because if you don't you could get burned and without reflexes you could get severly burned. some things that slow your reactions are- drugs(like crack and tobbaco..) and alchohol.
