Sleep paralysis

for taller people because there’s plenty of room for them to stretch out. In addition, California king size beds are long enough for you to let your cat or dog sleep at the end of your bed. Disadvantages While a California king size bed is longer, it is also more narrow than a standard king size bed. This means that couples need to sleep a little closer together than they would in a king size bed. Additionally, California king size bedding is more difficult to find than standard king size…

only friend, Denny leave. Imagine if you lived in an airport and you had no friends, but you still kept a good attitude. My final reason is that, Andrew has to change terminals every single night, he has to sleep in a different area every night. Like I said before but imagine if you had to sleep in a different area every single night, you would be so mad and so tired of moving around, but Andrew still kept a good…

It quickly went from a nice, fun, vacation to a painful, terrible, nightmare. Just about every year before school starts while my mom has meetings for teachers, my dad takes my sister and I on a small, five day trip to different places. This year, we decided to go to St Louis. Little did I know that this trip would soon turn south very, very, fast. It was the middle of August, 2013. I believe it was around the 13th. My dad, sister, and I were on our way to St Louis to do various activities…

Setting three different alarms, placing my waiver near the front door, wearing my thick cotton pants, hoodie, and socks, I would then lie fast asleep in bed. Waking up to the nettlesome sounds of my alarms ringing in my ears, rubbing the sand from my eyes, walking to the bathroom, I instinctively move both of my arms to cover my eyes from the shining bulbs that illuminate the bathroom. As I get ready for the morning, the sun is still shining on the other side of the world and everyone is still…

from, I am not sure. I had never experienced abduction before, nor had I ever witnessed one. Maybe I just watched too much TV. Regardless, it was a very real fear of mine and it seemed to come alive at night while I would be in my bed attempting to sleep. I can recall waking up in the middle of the night as a child and…

My First Day of School in Kindergarden “Click” Good morning Natalie! Wake up! my mom said excitedly. My mom is a very loving and happy kind of person who always thinks positively. I groaned to indicate to my mom that I was awake. I just laid there in my bed tired and unwilling to get up, my mom decided to change me because she saw how sleepy I was. I woke myself up a bit but I was half asleep most of the time when my mom was changing me out of my pajamas. I would always jump once in a while…

As I open the soft, yellow curtains and walk into my room, the strong scent of sweaty clothes and stale food overwhelm me. There are filthy sports clothes piled up in the corner. Dirty socks, muddy cleats and wrinkled blazers are strewn across the floor. Leftover chips, half-emptied coke cans and empty candy packs lie on top of one of the desks. The smell of everything combined is haunting and terrible. A laptop is left open on the bed, showing a YouTube video. The sound of the movie video roars…

Dress Code Moving from elementary school to middle school is a huge, scary change. From having seven classes a day to no recess it’s a very stressful adjustment. I wasn’t prepared, though, for the most stressful change to be my wardrobe. Every year the 90-degree days of August roll around, the masses of students in grade school groan about the inevitable end of our three months of freedom. As much as I dreaded being locked in a prison for seven hours a day five days a week, when August rolled…

New York otherwise known as the “Big Apple” is home to approximately 19.7 million people. In a closer lense, New York City is home to 8.4 million people. Everytime I go to New York I always spot the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center. For seven summers I went to Camp Matoaka in Maine, each year I would return to the same smiling faces. These familiar faces were always close to my heart, however they were not always in reach. My friends lived in places such as: Paris, New York City,…

I believe one reason is related to the transtheoretical model. My mind set is still stuck in the preparation stage and I need to push myself past that to take action in the next stage. I know I want to get more sleep but there is many factors that push me to stay awake and sacrifice sleep still; for example, hanging out with friends at night. My benefits are still there with the cons but I’m seeing the cons as well. For example, I’m exhausted during the day and do not feel my best. I want to…
