Beep…beep….beep...beep! Your alarm clock wakes you up 6:00 am in order to make it to you 8:00 am class. You have class literally all day long. You conclude your already LONG day with a 4-hour photography class from 6:00 pm until 10:00 pm. You get in your car and drive home, only to do it all again tomorrow.
If your schedule is anything like that, then I know for a fact that you are tired. My longest day is from Wednesday, where I'm in class from 8:00 am till 9:00 pm. Thank God I have a few breaks in between there but as you know, a break doesn't equal free time--reading emails from teachers, finishing a lab write-up, studying for a quiz, etc. It’s ALL SO TIRING!
In Sleep and Breathing, we are exposed to the idea that the students with the highest academic performance had significantly earlier bedtimes. While this is fine and dandy, WE ALL ASPIRE TO GO TO BED EARLY! IF IT WAS THAT EASY, WE WOULD’VE DONE IT BY NOW!
Poor time management skills definitely contribute to cases of sleep deprivation. As young adults, we should be getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep daily? Do you get that much sleep? I know that I don’t!
Looking for solutions? Have any solutions to share?
Something that I do is use weekends to work ahead so that during the week I can actually sleep.
So go ahead, go to sleep…but don’t forget to turn in that last assignment on Blackboard before 11:59 pm.
Goodnight.

I really enjoyed this post. I can 100% relate, it is so easy in theory to get enough sleep, but in actuality it's nearly impossible. I also really appreciate you're realistic sarcasm in this post. It kept me interested while still managing to make your point clear. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that yo enjoyed the post Rachel! I figured that so many people would be be able to relate.
ReplyDeleteGood use of imagery in the introduction! I can really imagine the annoying beeping sound of my alarm in the morning when I have to wake up for class. I also like how you capitalized certain words to emphasize them.
