The Waking

I evoke waking up every 5 minutes checking my blue IPod to see the time. Every time I woke up I would look outside my gelid, frosted window and see the sky darken to a faint violent. As the sky lightens, I would awaken even more. Just as the clock hit 7:30 A.M. sharp my alarm went off, “beep, beep, beep” desiring that I had gotten more sleep. I had opened my eyes like I had 50 cups of coffee, and jumping out of bed like a deer running from its predator. Getting up so fast got me really…

one wakes up late then it could tear ones day to shreds, however if one wakes up an hour early it could massively improve their day. The time in which one wakes up generally has an affect on ones personality. Everyone knows those people who dread waking up in the morning or those “Don’t talk to me until my third cup of coffee,” type of people. They are usually grouchy and show little signs of life until around lunchtime. Especially on the weekends when they can sleep as late as they want, and…

I don’t remember waking up exactly. I’m just awake, staring at the stained popcorn ceiling. The grooves mirror tiny dirt mountains, just waiting to be flaked off by the wind. It’s so weird. I never realized how detailed the ceiling was. Blinking, I instantly regret it as a headache hammers through my brain. I moan, trying to move. My entire body is similar to that of stone, cold and unresponsive. Only one light shines down and it’s as if someone switched it out with the noonday sun. Doesn’t…

Waking up early in the morning, and then coming to absolute torture! School It’s just hard, and boring! But currently I’m in maths, why does it have to be so hard and boring? Why does Mr. Holland have to give us a test every week? When will we even need to know algebra? Can’t he just stop giving lectures and move on, like hey, we are in 7th grade not college! We are in middle school not COLLEGE! He makes me want to fall asleep… “Hey Alex, wake up it’s time for lunch!” Louis says, he’s the boy…

In the movie “Waking Life” the philosophical idea that stood out the most to me was the idea of free will. In the movie, one of the characters explains the concept of free will and the debate amongst philosophers about whether it exists or not. The man poses the question “how can we really be free if God already knows in advance what we are going to do?”. This is a very heavy question and very hard to answer, but it got me thinking, does God really know everything that we are going to do? There…

Sleeping peacefully in her bed, Laura was cradling a pillow to her chest. The sun was beaming through her blinds causing the woman to stir. Usually, waking up was a simple task for Laura; she was a morning person after all. She groaned when the first beam of sunlight hit her face. Picking up her alarm clock on her nightstand, Laura looked at the time. “Ugh, why is it so early?” She placed her clock back on the surface and slowly began to sit up. She put her hand to her head which was throbbing…

sleep a night, and it looks like a large number of teens don't get sufficient sleep part of that relates to the time that high schools begin." (Dr. Robert Vorona). Teenagers have a nature to stay up late, and not go to sleep before school. When waking up early students are not focused and they are still sleepy when school begins. Schools all across the country do not offer students enough time to get the full 9 hours of sleep. Students wake up feeling drowsy and tired, and they…

their homework,and 14% are late or miss class due to oversleeping. Nearly half of the students sleep less than eight hours on school nights. I think our nation’s school system is flawed in many ways,we make our children get up before their recommended waking time even after scientific proof that they shouldn’t,we make curriculum difficult,we have tests that are more about test scores than education,and we limit creativity in our schools..Lots of people want the schools to change for the…

Evan Thompson, professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia, presented the idea of that the self is process, not a thing nor an entity, which implied that self is an experiential process that is subject to the constant change in Waking, Dreaming, Being (Thompson XXXI). And additionally, Thompson gives the idea of the self, however, he also mentioned the three things men or human need to understand. The three things are the nature of consciousness, the contents of consciousness…
