Sleep medicine

I remember when I was little my mom moved me and my little sisters a lot. I remember going to different schools and not making friends because I was wondering when we going to move again.Being homeless was a major turning point in my life. First of all, it all started when I was a young boy. My mom moved us to Atlanta and we pulled up to this big building . It had a big meeting room with a tv in it, it also had a library, upstairs where I mostly spent my time reading books about dinosaurs,…

"Hey sunshine, the morning says hello to your sweet face." The blond man flashes him a not-so-innocent smile before turning back around and walking away. Xander sneers at him, irritated and steely faced before returning back to his cigarette. What an asshole. He blows smoke from his lips and watches the white mist ravel and twine itself into the grey sky, dissipating into a clear smog. Inhaling again, he leaned back against the wall, cool and rough brick scratching his skin and he sighed,…

sadness. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a beautiful morning on August 13, 2013, a Tuesday. I remember rays of sunshine slipping through the blinds awakening me from my peaceful slumber. I slowly crawled out of my bed and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. Where is the smell of coffee? Where is the blaring sound of country music dad plays every morning? I immediately knew something was wrong. I continued my walk to the living room where I found my mother hunched over, clutching a…

Everyday we get tired and go to sleep but we don’t know why. We tend to think that when we sleep it is the mind and body shutting down. But that's not the case; scientists have yet to determine why people sleep. However they do know that we need to sleep to survive. Scientists have formed many hypothesis on why humans require sleep. We require sleep so that the brain is able to reorder without the inputs it gets while awake. The brain has a chance to exercise important neuronal connections…

Have you ever thought that something was going to be really easy, but it actually turned out to be really difficult? Well, if you did, then you must've felt similar to the way I did when I raised a baby kitten on my own, a couple months back in July of 2015. It had all started when my mom and I bought a 4 week old Siamese kitten. We had to buy her litter and milk prior to us picking her up where we bought her. She ended up sleeping in my room. During the first week, it was very hard, similar to…

December 20th is a date that I try to forget everyday but I never will be able to. I know it’s not my fault, and that the weather was bad and all the other reasons people find to not blame me. But every night when I try to go to sleep I can’t get that night out of my head, I constantly relive it. It’s been ten years but I remember it like it was yesterday. My friend, my best friend actually I picked him up at 10 am for work on Friday December 20th, we lived next to each other and worked at the…

A good night’s sleep for the average teenager is about 8 1/2-10 hours of sleep. There are many psychological and physical problems that can happen because of sleep loss, such as depression, weight gain, and irritability, but can sleep affect one’s grades in school? My theory is that it can, that those who sleep more will have better grades than those who don’t, so I wanted to conduct a survey to find out if this was true. I would so a survey rather than during a case study, which would be…
