I Can't Sleep at Night

When I was a child, going to bed late was almost like a sin. My mother set rigorous bedtimes for my younger brother and I, and only as we aged were they gradually relaxed. I didn’t get to set my bedtime by myself until I was fifteen, which is how it was for most children that live around here, but I’ve never actually asked, so that’s just an assumption. However, I never really understood how important getting a proper sleep was until I wrecked my sleep schedule to practically no return. By…

When I can’t sleep I overthink everything and stress myself out more than I should. School and sports already cause me great stress, yet when I can’t sleep I place unnecessary…

and I am dying to get in my pajamas again and go right to sleep. Kids now a day stay up late because they have to study and they stay up late on their phones. Kids don't get enough sleep to think straight at school. School should start later so kids can get the sleep they need. Kids don't get enough sleep, kids might do things wrong because they aren't thinking straight and students get so much homework that they can't fall asleep till late. First kids don't get the correct hours of sleep.…

Zac Flint Sleep Problems I was happy to see this topic this week on our web research activity. I can’t remember the last full night of sleep I have had, or when I’ve woken up feeling great. I think it is partially due to all the sporting injuries I have had, my body has at least one sore spot every morning. With the shoulder rebuild I’ve had twice, both knees, and a back surgery after years of trying to live with constant pain, I’ve missed a lot of sleep. On top of not being able to lay in one…

This is because they are the masters of their dreams. These people have the ability to control what happens in their dreams. They go to bed every night and…

In the article, Why letting teens sleep in could save lives, it surprised me to see that lacking sleep can lead to horrible decisions in life. I know for a fact that all of the students who are involved in sports, clubs and higher classes need more hours of sleep. For those students that have no zero period and that go home right after school, sleep and then complain that they lack, they should not get any extra time. Only for the students who wake up really early and stay up late. The thing…
