On average, I get approximately 6 hours of sleep every night. One very obvious example of how a lack of sleep affects performance can be traced to my experiences taking the ACT. Out of the two times I have taken it, I’ve had very different experiences and results. The first time I took the test, I was so nervous that I only got 6 hours of sleep the night before and it was very apparent that I couldn’t focus throughout the session. The second time I took it, I was much more relaxed and got nearly 9 hours of sleep the night before. My scores also reflected that the extra sleep I got enhanced my performance, considering the fact that it improved by 3 points. Another, more general, example of how sleep deprivation has affected my actions is the way I feel and act towards others on a day when I’m running low on sleep. I tend to be irritable, rude, unfocused and confused for the entire day. Getting a good night’s rest should be taken seriously because it can make or break a student’s
