Polyphasic sleep

As I open the soft, yellow curtains and walk into my room, the strong scent of sweaty clothes and stale food overwhelm me. There are filthy sports clothes piled up in the corner. Dirty socks, muddy cleats and wrinkled blazers are strewn across the floor. Leftover chips, half-emptied coke cans and empty candy packs lie on top of one of the desks. The smell of everything combined is haunting and terrible. A laptop is left open on the bed, showing a YouTube video. The sound of the movie video roars…

Dress Code Moving from elementary school to middle school is a huge, scary change. From having seven classes a day to no recess it’s a very stressful adjustment. I wasn’t prepared, though, for the most stressful change to be my wardrobe. Every year the 90-degree days of August roll around, the masses of students in grade school groan about the inevitable end of our three months of freedom. As much as I dreaded being locked in a prison for seven hours a day five days a week, when August rolled…

New York otherwise known as the “Big Apple” is home to approximately 19.7 million people. In a closer lense, New York City is home to 8.4 million people. Everytime I go to New York I always spot the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center. For seven summers I went to Camp Matoaka in Maine, each year I would return to the same smiling faces. These familiar faces were always close to my heart, however they were not always in reach. My friends lived in places such as: Paris, New York City,…

I believe one reason is related to the transtheoretical model. My mind set is still stuck in the preparation stage and I need to push myself past that to take action in the next stage. I know I want to get more sleep but there is many factors that push me to stay awake and sacrifice sleep still; for example, hanging out with friends at night. My benefits are still there with the cons but I’m seeing the cons as well. For example, I’m exhausted during the day and do not feel my best. I want to…

In this paper I will argue Cartesian dualism offers a more rational explanation of reality than Darwinian monism. I believe people have both body and soul, and they interact with each other. Jonathan Haidt described the relationship between body and soul as “like a rider on the back of an elephant”(11) in his book “The Happiness Hypothesis”. Our body like an elephant, our soul like a rider on it’s back and try to control it. But the problem is that the soul is not always a good rider. For…

technology. She explains that we are addicted to technology because we use technology too much. The background of this article is that we as humans rely on technology too much, because of that people are becoming lazier and children are getting less sleep because they are distracted by lighted up screens they stay up longer. The first claim presented is “ surely tiredness is a by-product of a busy modern life”. Which means that because we spend all our time on our phones,tablets, etc. we are…

snooze button again and again? In our crazy world, everyone is so busy that few people get the sleep they need. It is no different for teenagers. They have to go to school so early because of stagered buses which avoid high bus costs. Teenagers stay up late and they have later after-school activities and more homework. They also need more sleep. Yet it's the teens who go to school early when they need more sleep than the elementary schools. This is why Darien middle and high schools should start…

we were off. It was so boring. I’d rather eat a bucket of nails then stay in this motorhome. Time flew by and waits for no one. I was asleep when we got there.I got woke up by my brother yelling,”we're here!” I yelled back, “can’t a girl get some sleep around her!” Grandpa said “okay,let's go to the campsite. ”So we were off to the campsite.” We picked the campsite closest to the bathroom. My brother and I were playing a game that we made up. My brother and i went looking for all…

grew everywhere and it looked so pretty blending in with all the nature. The sunset between the small hills was a wonderful sight. We had to find flat land so we could camp there for two nights. After we set up our tents, the kids instantly went to sleep. The next morning Marvin got up and grabbed our firewood from the trunk in the wagon and started a fire. He and the other 4 men went out to hunt for food so we could feast and leave Alcove Springs the next day. Tony and Paul caught enough fish…
