    In “Our Kids need more sleep”, by Valerie Erde, it is explained that children need more sleep to do well in school. It has a couple of studies that say that children with more sleep do better in school, and are more alert in general. I completely agree with the author. I feel that if middle to high school students were allowed more time to sleep, it would improve most aspects of their life during school days. I know for sure that on the weekends, when I sleep in, I am in an all around better mood, and I am alert and ready for the day.…

    From an average student's’ perspective the idea of sleeping to be more productive is perceived to be counter intuitive, and in essence, ironic. When taking into consideration the dense academic and auxiliary workload of a student; essays, projects, assignments, tests, finding internships, research, establishing meaningful relationships, and personal activities to get a mental break from it all, efficiency is paramount and sleep should not be the go to course of action. However, this linear way of conceptualizing how one’s productivity is affected as a result of a nap can cause a few caveats on understanding the benefits that naps can give. But for those that are enthralled by the action of sleeping, and even consider it as a hobby, can they pull themselves out of their dazed state and use the nap as an effective means to make sure they can complete their work? Are naps a secret technique used as a means to master the constant struggle of time management, or are they simply distractions?…

    Upon bringing home a newborn child, parents are faced with many questions and decisions to make about how to care for their child. One for the many debates that parents face, is sleeping arrangements for their child and how to manage them waking up at night. According to Loutzenhiser, 2014 “night- waking is considered to be the most common sleep problem for infants” p. 282. When the child is young, it is extremely likely that the parents will respond immediately, since the child waking at this age probably means that the child needs to be changed or fed, which is something that should be taken care of immediately.

    Around 20-30 years ago, you likely laid in the following familiar position at one point in another. Back on a thin "sleeping mat" that was laid on a cold tile floor, surrounded by the other twenty or so members of your kindergarten class. But you weren't sleeping, and aside from maybe one kid who was already wise enough to respect sleep, no one else was either. You stared at the ceiling knowing that as soon as the lights flicked on there would be a rush for the toys, and you'd be god damned if that piece of shit Timmy was getting to the only Buzz Lightyear before you.…

    Published in 2013, the New York Times article “Manage Fatigue in a Nonstop World With a Nap” by Tony Schwartz (2013) insisted that even short naps can improve our performances based on his experience and studies. Knowing the importance of sleep, Schwartz decided to take a nap when his energy was due to lack of sleep. According to him, after his 15 to 20-minute nap, his mind was refreshed and he found no trouble to get back to his work, which he could not even imagine to do earlier. He refered to the study in which the effects of naps of 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes were examined: although the 5 minute nap did not show any impact, these 10 plus minute naps contributed to better performance on cognitive test of memory conducted in the following two and a half hours. Schwartz also mentioned that while 10 minute nap-takers can improve their performances immediately, those who take a nap for 20 plus minutes experience “sleep inertia,” which is a phenomenon of grogginess upon waking.…

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.…
