Polyphasic sleep

Choosing Gca As the sunlight gave me a warm hug I awakened form a deep slumber. I glanced at my clock and to my surprize it's 9:40 am! But it did not matter as it was summer break so I had no worries of waking up at 6 am. I got up and poured myself some milk while longing for someone to talk to. My mom and dad were at work and my lazy siblings of course had not woken up. My mind was filled with thoughts about yesterday's surprise 6th grade graduation and my stomach dropped when I thought…

night of blasting War Pigs at the neighbor's dog, he was ready for some coffee; he poured himself a hot cup of joe and headed off to his classroom. When he arrived, he began to fill out "the chart". As he wrote down assignments, he realized how sleep deprived he was; so John decided to take a power nap, unaware that his life was about to take a major change. After about an hour went by, John was suddenly awakened.…

asleep at night. Most nights I am getting far less than the recommended eight hours, and I know that insufficient sleep leads to a number of complications. I am ready to try a regular routine of yoga that I hope will help me feel less stressed out, sleep better, feel more energized, and furthermore be…

Preface I chose to write the Long Road as it is a story I can relate to. As when I was younger as we were travelling to Northern Territory for a family holiday and we ran out of diesel. I think this could help others and make them aware of bringing extra fuel or petrol when going into an uncivilised area. I thought this would be a good topic to right on as it is a real Australian stereotype to be in the outback and run out of fuel. I would like to thank my Dad for this holiday wouldn’t have been…

Many people don't realize that fine lines, wrinkles and saggy skin under the eye do not always happen solely because of age. Heredity, stress, smoking, frequent squinting and dehydration of skin found under the eye can also cause these problems, regardless of age. The skin under the eyes does not contain its own oil glands causing this area to be notoriously dry. Eye treatment creams, like Genucel Eye Therapy, target this area to create a tighter, more firm appearance with reduced puffiness and…

The RN is consulted by a parent on ways to manage enuresis. The patient is a nine year old boy who only experiences enuresis at night (nocturnal enuresis). Education on nocturnal enuresis should be provided to the parent and patient first. Enuresis is a common problem among boys and girls from age five and older; although nocturnal enuresis is mostly seen in boys. Studies have shown nocturnal enuresis may be associated with genetics. Parents who experienced nocturnal enuresis often have…

Imagine this, you are a young girl left home alone while your parents are working late, you are in your bedroom trying to sleep, you hear a loud noise. Suddenly a tall, strange man who you have never seen before appears holding a knife to you, threatening to kill you if you don’t leave with him. You’re forced to leave. You wake up in a strange, cold, dirty building with no memory or recollection of what has happened to you. You’re dragged through filth and scum to a dark room where you can…

I sat bolt upright in bed. A calypso sounding music was playing very loud from my alarm clock on my right side. Sunlight was streaming in through the windows. I swung my legs over the side of the mattress and stretched a bit. I noticed that the sunlight seemed a bit bright for 6:30am in October. There shouldn't be any sunlight yet, I thought to myself. I snatched my phone off my bedside table and checked the time. 8:42am, Tuesday, October 15th. Class started at 7:30. I was late. I jumped out of…

Aiden Parker was a simple 17-year-old boy. He wasn’t special or even average. If anything, he was below average. He had a small, wimpy physique with short, frizzy, brown hair and brown eyes. As Aiden walks through the halls of his humongous school, those that surround him, his peers, don’t even acknowledge his existence. He easily blends in with the lockers, a technique he has spent years perfecting. Aiden is perfectly satisfied with his life. “One more year and then I’m off to college,” he says…

You’re standing in a hallway filled with 7-8 graders. Every single one of them is rushing to get to their classes when the bell rings, you thought 6-8 graders would be separated by schedules, you guessed wrong. Adults and pupils are debating whether 6th grade should be in middle school or should not be in middle school. A few articles states good reasons why 6th grade should be in middle school and why it shouldn’t. For example, 6th graders would share the same bus as high schoolers. In…
