Obstructive sleep apnea

People embed their faith into their objects. As I get ready for bed, I always look forward to cuddling up to my aged and raggedy pillow. Officially known as Chira, my fluffy and pure pillow, with a cute image of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, has worn down over the years; now what remains is a rag-like-cloth with tears and holes. Although Chira has basically disintegrated, there is nothing else I have been able to hold on to, for as long as I managed to keep it. Losing Chira right now would be like…

Along with the New Year, there are many newcomers to the gym. It is common for people to make a new year’s resolution to get in better shape. Some people result to dieting, fasting, and cleansing in order to achieve their goals. However, going to the gym is the best way to go about making this change, and in the gym one can see many different workout routines. While there are many different hybrids, the most commonly used routines are bodybuilding and powerlifting. These two have multiple…

Bang! Gunshots and explosions are the sounds that follow me. I can hear bullets quizzing passed my ears and I hear the screams of my fellow soldiers as they get hit in different locations around me. I try to aim my gun towards a Vietnamese, closing my eyes before I shoot. I don't look back to that area. I don't want to see whether or not I hit him. My heart pounds in my ears, but it's not loud enough to drown out the moans of pain that sicken me to the core. All I can think of is that…

• Max is freaking out because she's facing imminent death, what with Erasers on her tail and all, and running with all her might—when she comes up to a cliff. Then she spreads her wings and jumps off. Max wakes up, startled, that whole chase from the Erasers was just a dream, thank goodness. She always has this nightmare about running away from the School and being chased by Erasers. Getting out of bed, Max goes to look outside the house; they're high on a mountain and pretty safe. They moved…

The neighborhood was noiseless, and the sky was pitch black, for there had been no moon on that summer morning in June. My mother and father started our car and waited for Sofia,my sister, sean ,my friend, and me to get inside. It was time to leave our dull suburban home in San Jose, and drive to the beloved National Park, Yosemite, to hike Half Dome. On the car ride there I had slept, but awoke right when we had gotten into the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Looking outside of the window and noticing…

benefits of later school start times. Every weekday, students must face the struggle of waking up early to get ready for school without getting enough sleep the night before. Schools starting at a later time during weekdays would allow students to have extra time to sleep in the morning and be more alert and focused. This can result in less sleep-related car accidents and tardies. It can also provide opportunities for students to succeed in school because studies show that alert students are…

“Kylar wake up’” my mom yelled. I was so tired. It was 7:30am the first day of school. I didn’t want to do anything except go back to sleep. Another reason I didn’t want to get up was because I was nervous. But a voice in my head encouraged me to get up. So I did my regular morning routine and ate breakfast. Then it was time for me to start walking to the bus stop. But then my mom told me that it was 8:32 and my bus was supposed to come at 8:34. So I darted out of the door. When I finally got…

Analisa Santhouse Brrrrrring... The noise of my alarm clock startles me. I throw off the covers on my bed, and run across the chilly floor, to stop the ear piercing noise of my alarm. I slip into the warmth of my fuzzy slippers, and head downstairs to the kitchen to start my day. I start by pouring a cup of coffee, plop onto the couch and watch the morning news. It’s snowing they say. I walk over to the window and throw open the curtain. Frost crawls up the sides of the window, and the snow…

My family and I checked into the Regal Palms Resort in Davenport, Florida on June 17, 2017 and checked out on June 23, 2017. During our stay at Regal Palms Resort we were assigned to three (3) different condos. Each condo we were assigned to had unresolved issues. The issues are as follow: 1st Condo: Wasn’t cleaned from the previous renters. The linens were in the bath tub, dishes were in the sink, and the condo was dirty. 2nd Condo: As we entered the condo we noticed the front burner on…
