Reflection Paper On Sleep

Probably most of you have stayed up all night at least once in your life, owing to several possible reasons, such as that crazy party on your first years of university, or that awful night working against the clock before the submission deadline, or maybe when your babies wouldn’t stop crying all night. And it wouldn’t be unlikely that you hadn’t had time to get a proper sleep the next morning since you had to go to work or to class or wherever. Then you were bond to face this tricky dilemma: Is it better to sleep one hour or not sleeping at all? In order to answer this question I’m going to introduce you to the mechanics of the sleeping process. According to experts, during our sleep a series of 4 to 6 cycles takes place.

For example, a bedtime story can be a cue that it’s time to go to bed. 7 to 9 Months By now, most babies have 2-3 solid naps during the daytime, that last for an hour or two. They sleep for about 8-10 hours during the night and their routine would be set. Since the baby would have started solids, he/she would be able to sleep through the night without feeling hungry. Tip Although babies start eating solids by 6 months, they may still need to be caressed while going to sleep.

Students, have you ever woke up later or could not get enough sleep at night for school? Well, a change in school start times could fix that. School start times should be changed to a later time in the day, because students don 't get enough sleep, would improve classroom performance, and could give students time to eat breakfast. Most might agree that these are some important facts that a later school time change would help. Sleep, it is a big deal and most people are deprived of it because they are forced to wake up early for school.

The next day goes differently. You don’t wake up at 6 a.m., but at 6:45, causing you to rush and become stressed. The night before you went to bed at 12 a.m., watching t.v. for no reason. You don’t perform in school as well as usual, you fall asleep in class multiple times, and you are grouchy all day.

With such a hectic schedule during the season I knew I always had to find time to get my school work done, whether that meant trying to do my homework on the bus rides, stay up late after games to finish projects and online assignments that I couldn't do on the go, staying in the locker room to do my work while my friends went to watch the younger teams play. I learned to make sacrifices to keep my grades up, from losing sleep for studying for a physics exam or staying home on the weekends until I finished all my dual credit assignments that had to be done online. Keeping my spot in the top 5% of my class and achieving a 5.232 GPA out of 5.0 is challenging with being involved in so many clubs and being a student

Balancing nursing school and my entire life can be hectic. I handle my scheduling problem by having a routine and an organizer in my phone. As soon as I get done eating my lunch that’s when I usually study. I go to my local Barnes and Noble to study because I can focus there better than at home. I usually take a break from studying every time my brain can’t retain the thing that I’m studying, so I won’t burn out from studying.

Dear, Shane Backlund One time I was in school and I was so tired from waking up so early that I fell asleep in class. Because of the early starting times most of the time my first period class is so tired from having to wake up so early that we don’t concentrate and hardly get the work that needs to be done done. Our district have been debating the topic of how early should we start schools. I think that schools should start at 8:30 instead of 7:45 because just that little bit off sleep could change a tired and droopy student to the energetic student we all are. Early starting times for schools can have an unhealthy effect on kids.

Sleep paralysis is the rare occurrence in which a person is in a transition state between awakeness and sleep. This state can cause a person to be aware of their surroundings but not able to move. On the night of the entanglement, I had been attempting to sleep for hours, but nothing provided support. Provided that I had school the next day and had to wake up early, I chose to just lay there until I drifted off. After maybe 25 minutes of motionlessness and

The bus schedules could really just be pushed back and hour or however much you push back the school start, so transportation isn’t really a problem. According to “Junior Scholastic” kids bodies don’t work in a way that lets them go to sleep early. The article states, “It’s not that simple, says Danny Lewin, a sleep specialist at Children’s National Health System in Washington D.C. ‘Adolescents have a deeply programed biological [clock] to go to bed later and wake later,’ he tells JS. ‘As kids get older, their sleep-wake cycle shifts so it’s difficult for them to turn in before 11p.m. Teens are wired to be night owls,’ he says,”(20).

Is homework becoming too much? Every day students spend hours upon hours doing homework every night and stressing out if they aren't able to finish it. The first form of homework was given as a punishment to the kids that would act up in class. The teacher would give them extra school work to take home and do instead of being able to go home relax and have fun. Although homework can help increase understanding of new topics this kind of practice is not helping students because it can interfere with sleeping, stresses kids and teenagers out and can cause depression, and even make a kid give up on school altogether.

Dr Upadhya, This is Sarah Moncey from BIO 111 480, I believe my student number is 18. I am writing you because I missed class due to a stomach bug that I dealt with over the weekend. I have been able to study from bed. I realized I missed the quiz for the lab as well, which is very disappointing but sometimes things happen. I have a few questions for you.

Night fell and to fill the down time advisors set up a V.I.P. party for qualifying chapters, although the Holyoke chapter qualified they were a little too busy to go, doing what you might ask? You guessed it, studying. The Sr. and Jr. teams studied until the party was dismissed somewhere around 11:00pm then off to sleep for an early

Many students need that extra hour of sleep instead of waking up and going to school. Students that are tired in the morning, can not focus on their school work, instead they are worrying about sleeping. Some students have extracurricular activities, that make them get home late, and not get the right amount of sleep that they need. Students that have a busy schedule due to school, tend to stay up later at night. Many kids with busy schedules,

MY SLEEP TIME IS ALWAYS AT LEAST EIGHT HOURS AND THIS DEFINITLY MAKES ME MORE ALERT DURING MY WAKE TIME. IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WOULD RARELY SLEEP AND HENCE I WAS NEVER FULLY ATTENTIVE IN CLASS, BUT NOW THAT I AM ABLE TO SLEEP DURING THE DAY TO MAKE UP FOR THE TIME I WAS AWAKE AT NIGHT, I WAKE UP WITH ENERGY AND CAN FOCUS FULLY ON SCHOOL WORK FOR MANY HOURS. SO, OVERALL MY SLEEP AND WAKE TIME ARE HEALTHY BECAUSE I can FOCUS AND CONCENTRATE PROPERLY WHEN I AM AWAKE. I ALSO HAVE EBERGY THAT I NEVER SEEMED TO HAVE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHIOOL.

Even though time was of the essence, I procrastinated the whole weekend to get the homework done. I still believe that there was no point in getting my homework done earlier because of the fact that good things come to those who wait. It was only a matter of time until I completely knocked out, sleeping like a baby until the sound of my alarm clock woke me
