Journal Analysis: When I Can T Sleep

Decent Essays
Journal 4 When I can’t sleep I tend to think about a little of everything. Most of the time I think about everything that I did wrong that day. I start to make up scenarios in my head of how I could have approached things differently. I start to get absorbed in my thoughts and I feel like I am no longer tired anymore. 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 stress on my mind. I often find myself tired all throughout the day, yet when I lay down at night I seem be wide awake. My mind has trouble shutting down. If I had trouble falling asleep throughout the week I take out at least 30 minutes of wind-down time

    Have you ever wondered what the point of sleep was? Or, how we dream? A lot of scientists have researched and tried to determine why we sleep, but a true answer has never been concluded, but a strong theory has stated that us as humans may have evolved from animals that would sleep to put their body in a resting state, to keep them away from harm and to keep their body at a well-rounded temperature throughout the night. All mammals sleep, including marine animals such a platypus and a whale. Dreams have been recorded since ancient Aztec Indian times.…

    Before immersing myself as a student in the world of sleep, I had always believed that I had a great sleeping pattern. In fact, all of my peers found it amusing how much I loved to sleep, to the point where they said I slept all the time. However, the way that I see it is that I am a 20 year old who goes to a tough school academically, plays a 24/7 sport of basketball for the University, works on campus, and finds time to be social. As one should realize, I am a busy man on a rigorous schedule, therefore, in order to not just get by, but instead to be an achiever, I need my sleep. So before taking all of these tests and monitoring my sleeping pattern, I knew that every night I usually got over 8 hours of sleep depending on what day it is was.…

I just write down whatever is bothering me at the moment on a sticky note, promise myself I will come back to the worry in the morning, and head back to bed.…
