Polyphasic sleep

generally had, there was no sauce and a miniature amount of cheese. When we reached our part of the city we were congratulated on coming safely. It was my grandma’s house that we stayed in, it was immense, with about 4 rooms and a roof that you could sleep on. There were about 6 people already living there so including us 10. We stayed there for a month before our relatives came, almost all of the family was there. We had a stunning time, we went to the mountain (with no snow), and the zoo…

wood (Kashtha-Mauna) Deep-sleep silence (Sushupti Mauna) Great silence (Maha- Mauna) Not uttering a single word means silence of speech (Vak-Mauna) and not even hearing one’s own speech is silence of hearing (Karna Mauna) Remaining still akin to wood without any expression, gestures etc. (In reality, more energy is wasted in responding by nodding, gesturing or saying ‘hum, hum’ than in speaking) The silence in deep sleep One who has gone beyond speech and thought. The Organs of Speech The…

“Come on girls wake up!” My first instinct was to pull the covers over my head, turn the other way, and get up in ten minutes. When I reached for my blanket I remembered, I was in a sleeping bag in a tent on camp Pendleton, seven hours away from a sand-free warm bed. There was a quiet pause for a few seconds where you could hear the soothing sound of the waves nearby before my friends started to wake. Next to me Mackenzie groaned and yelped in pain. “Sister Jarvis, could I have the aloe?” She…

something out lurking in the unknown, the idea of it sat in the back of the mind, causing fear in the beholder. Although it is most likely not real, this uncertainty can change the way someone behaves, such as causing them to lock the door at night, or sleep with the lights on. Similarly, in The Lord of Flies by William Golding, the theoretical beast plays a very significant role in the deterioration of society and civilization on the island. The beast does this by causing any sense of…

explanation of evidence may feel like a stretch to some readers, implying that stress can lead to higher consumption of alcohol and tobacco products does not seem unrealistic. However, Konnikova’s logic becomes difficult to grasp when she states that poor sleep timing can lead to “cancer, potentially fatal heart conditions, and other chronic diseases, like metabolic syndrome and diabetes.” Not only do these ramifications seem dire, but, other than citing the names of researchers Till Roenneberg…

“I woke up really early that morning and immediately I know that something had changed. My whole body felt different, and it was not long until I found out that I had gained a new superpower while sleeping. I will make good use of it I told myself…” While i was getting ready for school I realized how much I could make this world a better place, I could make America great again. It was amazing I could turn back time if anything went wrong, if I failed on a test then I can just turn back time and…

My passion for the cosmos was born during my last day at the Maccabiah Sport Games in July of 2017. I lay on my bed and switched on the TV with no preconceived thought of a channel in mind. I was perfectly content watching what National Geographic had to offer: The Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey by Neil deGrasse Tyson. The show surpassed my expectations in every way. Previously I had only taken a passing interest in astronomy, such as during our occasional visits to the game reserve. I was always…

on their rounds. There is no trace of the festivities that heralded our entry into this decorated tent. I hear a horse snort nervously and stamp its feet. The animals are surely as aware as the men that the battle begins tomorrow. Do the warriors sleep in peace, or do they toss and turn in anticipation and dread of what the day ahead is to bring? At least I know for a fact what the fates hold in store for me. Death. Is this what you intended for me, Mother? To die fighting on the battlefield…

All this homework the teachers are giving is depriving Students of their sleep. According to the Mary A. Carskadon author of the article Let Students Sleep “Young children are biologically ‘primed for early to bed and early to rise; but as children pass through middle school and high school, biological processes keep them up later.” This could become a problem with…
