In general, we all need to sleep to survive. When we sleep, our bodies are given a chance to repair themselves, and our minds have time to process the events of the day. There is no mystery in why sleep is so important to us as functional human beings. In Macbeth, sleep holds this same importance, and characters suffer when they are unable to rest. Often, contact with Macbeth leads to problems sleeping. The sleep motif is used to highlight the unnatural nature of Macbeth’s deeds, and demonstrate…

There are a lot of good effects if school started later. Many teenagers would agree that getting up early in the morning is stressful. School should start later because students would be more focused and less stressed and get better grades and have less of a chance of getting depression with more sleep. We will be arguing that school will start later in the morning. One reason schools should start later is that students can get extra sleep. It’s best that students have extra sleep which…

Attachment theory can be defined as a “lasting psychological connectedness between human beings” (Bowlby 1969, p. 194). John Bowlby, “a British psychoanalyst’ work attempted to understand the…

It has become troublesome and confusing to me as to why our local school district would require children in intermediate school (10 to 12 years old) to start school at 7:40 a.m. Please note that this is their start time and doesn’t include their actual wake up time, prep time and travel to school. As I began to research this more in depth I was stunned to find the numerous effects and potential effects in relation to academics, physiological and the emotional distress it could have on students.…

“Teens need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day,” says the National Sleep Foundation’s website, which describes the facts and consequences of sleep deprivation for teens. We have all heard the phrase, yet to most of us this advice seems unrealistic and impossible due to students various extracurricular activities and responsibilities which cause late bedtimes to be a common occurrence for teenagers.

How excessive internet use interferes with the development of critical thinking? When my sister came to the United States, our parent allowed her to have accessed to the internet. She spent a lot of her time in her room either with her phone or computer. She made a Facebook, My Space, Histogram and Gmail account, so that she would communicate her friends. In couple of weeks, she started to go to bed around 2:00AM and woke up late. She sometimes missed out on breakfast or come to it late. In…

What program activities specifically need to be carried out in order to meet each objective? In my first objective, I state by month 5, 10 % of students increased their hours of sleep from 5 to 6, to 7 to 8 throughout the weekday. One activity to conduct is downloading a sleep tracker app for enrolled participants. This app is able to detect how well you are sleeping at night. The app comes with a sleeping log and smart alarms. Downloading the app will help you realize what behaviors are causing…
