Sleep medicine

Goody-Two-Shoes couldn’t wait to meet her new roommates. Her mother was still best friends with her college roommate, and Goody hoped it would be the same for her. She took a deep breath and opened the door to her dorm. There was one bunk bed and one loft bed. One girl sat on the top bunk with her laptop, and the other girl was setting up pictures on the table next to the bottom bunk. The two girls had already claimed the bunk bed, so Goody would be on the loft bed. “Hello! I’m so glad…

It’s Time to Start Waking Up, the Right Way. Whether you get six hours of sleep, or nine, waking up and crawling out of bed is difficult for everybody. It is clear to everyone that we can’t do it ourselves, we need a boost. This boost is caffeine. For centuries caffeine has been consumed as a certain beverage. Not till recently has this beverage been challenged as the best way to consume caffeine. These two most popular ways to consume caffeine in the United States are clearly energy drinks and…

Running Away From the Truth My alarm for school went off at 6:50 am, I was startled from my dream, me confessing to my mother that I was gay, she took is really well in my dream, just the way I would envision her to. I guess that was a sign it was about time to come out and tell her. I have been telling myself for 5 years I would reveal to my mom after my fifteenth birthday which was two weeks ago. I checked my phone, I had zero snapchats, phone calls, text messages or instagram notification…

wind whisking through the leaves on a tree, that’s the noise that wakes me. At first, I think I’m imaging it, and try to return to the deep sleep I left, but then it comes again, louder this time. I role over half asleep to find two tiny hands reaching out for me in the dark. Green eyes pierce through the blackness, like two tiny moons in the sky. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I groan before sitting up. At this point, I look like a bear coming out of hibernation. I’m confused, my eyesight is…

I woke up to (what should be) a normal day. My brothers (Joe Collar(second oldest child), Jim Collar(Third oldest child), Bill Collar( fourth oldest child). I heard the snoring of each of my brothers as I made my bed. I checked outside like I did every day to check if the mysterious man in black who had shown up the day my dad disappeared. He wasn’t there, I checked more as a habit, at this point than anything else. I slowly woke up since he is quite good in the kitchen. I decided to cut the…

As I woke up from my twin bead I hear this awful sound a bear growling or a dieing cat. I couldn’t figure it out as I open my eyes i realize it's my brother in the bed next to me snoring. As I walked out of my bedroom I perked up like a deer with an apple. I just figured out that I am in Hawaii. I see my dad on the patio drinking his morning coffee so I go see what he's up to. “ Morning son how Are you.” “ Im great this is awesome it is so amazing up here.” I said You could see a bug from a…

The world was barren, and Celeste was tired. Classroom chatter went on behind her, unimportant conversations about clothing and girls, parties and boys, boys and girls and girls and boys and girls and love, true love, and sex and Jesus, Beth is such a slut, did you hear what she did last night? Two girls passed notes, giggling obnoxiously. A couple was making out in the back of the classroom, ignorant to anything around them. And Celeste waited for it to end. ~~~ It became a game to her.…

Sleep is a state of consciousness because when we are asleep, our brain remains active and working. With the invention of the electroencephalogram (EEG) researchers are better able to understand the brain activity of individuals as they prepare to sleep and after they fall asleep. When a person is awake and alert high frequency beta waves are seen in an EEG. When you are laying down, relaxed and become sleepy, low frequency alpha waves would be seen in an EEG. The different types of brain waves…

drinking enough water, sleeping, and minimizing stress. 2. I would really like to improve my sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. This semester, none of my mornings start at the same time, so some days I get to sleep in a little bit. Knowing that I am able to sleep in means that I stay awake later, and I really do not get any extra sleep. 3. I think my lack of sleep stems from all of the other aspects of living a healthy lifestyle. There are only so many…

“BEEP!,BEEP!,” My alarm clock screamed as it informed me of the time. I rolled over and shut it off, I even contemplating going back to bed, but i remembered why i was up so early. I flipped my covers off my body and got out of bed. I went to my dress to grab cloths for the day. “Mason we are leaving in 10 mins.” I heard my mom shout as i finally finished fumbling with my belt. I ran out to the kitchen with my duffle bag over my shoulder, grabbed apple, threw my shoes on, and got into the car…
