Due to all these activities, only a vast minority of teenagers obtain the amount of sleep they need in a night; Tom Hodgkinson’s quote proposes a solution to this problem.

  • Why People Should Take Naps

    How come millions of adults take naps? Isn’t napping just for little kids? Wrong. Napping doesn’t only help children; it can also benefit adults too. Napping is like taking painkillers. When you take painkillers, you do not feel the pain that you had earlier. After a while, you forget that the pain was even there and everything goes back to normal. If you do not take the painkiller even though you are in extreme pain, you will suffer and also be distracted by how much pain you are in. The same is with naps. After you take a nap, you do not feel the fatigue you had earlier. You can then continue whatever you were doing before. If you don’t take a nap even though you are exhausted, mentally or physically, you will be distracted and just be thinking about getting sleep. People should take naps to benefit them throughout their day and lives. Naps can boost performance, relieve stress, and prevent obesity.

  • Sleep Deprivation Among College Students

    Sleeping is something that is an essential part of human nature and is a must in order for one to be a functional human being. Sleep is an idea that is accompanied by many wives’ tales, including the ideas that one needs seven to eight hours of sleep each night and alcohol helps one fall asleep and sleep more soundly. One myth about sleep is that during sleeping, one is in a state of nothingness. In truth, however, it has been discovered that during sleep the brain is active, variations in heartbeat and breathing occur, and the eyes and ears are active throughout the time of sleep. These activities during a person’s sleep are important because they help that person be more aware, awake, and alert during consciousness. If all of these important activities occur during sleep, why is it that people are so willing to short themselves of this vital activity? Although much about sleep still remains a mystery, research and experiments continue to show how important sleep is to each and every person.

    In conclusion, the moderately enhanced results leads to think that the naps did have positive effects on all three test results, but not to the extend that was hypothesized. Perhaps a more ordered and organized napping and sleep schedule would allow for greater and more significant improvements. A further analysis in the domain of effects of napping on performance, either cognitive or physical, should strive to measure the impact of tightly arranged schedule to allow for naps to occur at relatively the same time everyday, as well as having a similar length, paired with comparable amount of sleep the night prior to engaging in napping.
