Wake Up

headache, a bad mood, or lack of focus? Lack of sleep, builds up over time, and is associated with long term health effects such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sometime heart disease. Students at Harvard University conducted a study showing that little sleep leads to stress, high blood pressure, and impaired control of blood glucose (Harvard University). Getting sleep at night reduces these impairments. Shortened amounts of sleep builds up over time, causing the body to overrun. When your…

practice. Clubs can be up to an hour long and band practice takes time. Although dinner is one part of my busy schedule, I love to spend time with my family. As a result, I end up having not enough time to study for my quizzes and tests which I have every week. The amount of time I have is merely not enough for me to study for my quizzes and tests before my bedtime which leads me to panic and rush from the stress. On the other hand, you state that it may be difficult for me to wake up. Your…

Since The Book Thief is a historical fiction text, the fictitious characters interact in a realistic WWII setting in Germany. Three characters in the book, Liesel, Rudy, and Hans develop their identities within the parameters of the Nazi controlled society. However, if Liesel, Rudy, and Hans were characters in today's society, their lives would be different. The society and the character’s identities would influence the choices they make. Liesel was skinny and pale, she has dangerous brown eyes…

like everyone was going to leave me; that no one liked me anymore. I felt so alone it was painful. I got awful insomnia and stayed up without countless late night thoughts. I'd sleep in and it would be hard for me to wake up. Day in and day out I wouldn't want to get up or do anything because I felt so awful. I was so tired and so worn out I wouldn't want to wake up the next morning because sleeping was easier than living life and being awake. I would have crying spells. My appetite was all over…

Is it hard for you to stay up in class all day. In the passage “The Teen That Woke Up Her School”, Should students start school later in the morning and the info graphic shows that it is for her. If you feel the same way then you should stand up. I think school should start later. When you are tired you are not yourself in the morning if you don’t get enough sleep. You are basically a walking zombie. In the article The Teen Who Woke Up Her School it states “About 95% of teenagers are walking…

is also provided to students to allow them to practice what they have learned. It is understandable that teenagers are going to be tired when the school day has been completed. Teenagers need approximately eight to ten hours of sleep, and with waking up early to go to school, then coming home to do homework, a great amount of these students don’t get the right amount of sleep (National Sleep Foundation). In order for teenagers to get enough sleep during the night and have better grades, school…

I wake up and I see bright lights, doctors, and cords and wires everywhere connected to different things all over the place and also on me, I then realise I was in the hospital. “Do you remember anything that happened?” I hear one of the doctors ask. “I was on my way home and this car came out of nowhere and ran me off the road” I say mumbling. “Well it sure wasn't an accident, otherwise the car that ran you off the road wouldn't have left” the doctor says while I'm thinking whether or not I…

Students should be allowed to drive, even when they live in an area with bus service. If students were forced to ride the bus, not only would it be inconvenient but also unfair. Bus stops within a bus service can either be close to a student’s house or far away. If they are close then it wouldn’t be much trouble to wait for the bus. Unfortunately for those who live a long ways away, it would be inconvenient. If it was freezing cold or it was storming, then those kids would have to endure the…

We just finished moving to our new house. I was in second grade and as a little kid I always wanted candy and sugar like any other normal kid. My mom was sleeping and was the only one awake. I didn’t want to be alone so I went to go wake up my sister. “Hanna, wake up!!” I said. “Go back to bed, It’s six in the morning.” said Hanna. “We have cookies downstairs and I’m not tall enough to reach them.” She ignored me and went back to sleep. When I leave her room I go back downstairs and sit there…

breathing pauses anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes and has only been considered chronic. Then when normal breathing starts up again it does so with a loud snore or choking noise. One of the worst parts about sleep apnea is that the people who have it don’t actually know about it. They stop breathing and wake up, but it is so brief that no one remembers waking up in the middle of the night to breathe. Sleep apnea usually goes undiagnosed because there is literally no way to test for it…
