Recommended: How does music affect the mind

How To Survive the 48-Hour Challenge: 1. Hydrate and satiate: Eat carbohydrate/protein-rich foods to boost your energy, and drink water frequently! To make it easier, prepare/place food and drinks beforehand. Drink caffeinated drinks slowly, lightly, and carefully. 2. Crank some fast, intense or exciting music: Music like this stimulates dopamine/endorphin production and increases mental activity, thus increasing alertness and keeping you awake. Also, play some fast-paced video games to make you think and move fast. 3. Get physical: Lightly jog around the house, or do 5-10 jumping jacks to keep you warm, elevate your heart rate, and get your blood flowing normally. Don't overexercise though! Circulation is important for alertness.

    Set your alarm at least an hour before you really need to get out of the bed. If you set the alarm for an earlier hour you get to hit the snooze button few extra times. After the third hit, you should have awakened enough to actually rise out of the bed. Fix yourself a cup of coffee, sit on the sofa, and stare into space at least fifteen minutes, but no more than thirty. This gives you time to not think about all that you have to do today.

  • The Story of an Hour

    1193 Words  | 3 Pages

    I read a story, after I finished reading it my mind was still reeling over what I had just read. Stories like this are quite impressive magnificent; they draw the reader into the story and leave them with a strong impact. How we interpret a text is in itself impressive, as every person is different, every interpretation is too. As I read “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, I could not help but notice that Kate Chopin uses the window to symbolize the future that Mrs. Mallard has been pinning for all her life. Chopin also uses Mrs. Mallard’s heart condition as a symbol of Mrs. Mallard’s marriage. The short story is consequentially the story of an oppressed woman who had to confine herself to the social norms of marriage. Through Formalism Criticism, we will explore the various symbols that Chopin uses to describe how Mrs. Mallard yearns for freedom, and through the Feminist Criticism, we will explore how the institution of marriage oppresses our heroin.

  • The 30 Hour Famine

    I believe in humanity; simply, I believe that the good outweighs the bad. That belief and my faith steer me to show people who I am. As people, we should strive to be the best we can be, to help others, and to live morally. So why does hunger exist when some people have the ability to spend a hundred dollars on a single dinner? I am a firm believer that even though the world is often in a time of crisis with different humanitarian situations such as trafficking or hunger, we do try to help each other and live ethically. The world has complicated problems and the simplicity of a single solution is nonexistent. We as people spend too much time agonizing, enduring, and complaining over a problem instead of finding an answer to fix a situation. The sad fact is lots of problems are out of control, immediate control that is. Poverty is out of our immediate control, but that doesn’t mean it is

    There are many aspects of life that can affect sleep. The SCN is the primary circadian pacemaker that coordinates metabolic and physiological rhythms in the body (Maywood, 2014).
