College students are famed for their excessive coffee consumption and their lack of sleep. I'm trying not to be one of the people who burns their midnight oil every night before the finals. Sadly, due to my crazy work schedule and lack of self control, I might not have enough time to study.
I asked a fellow friend, "should I have an 8-hr sleep tonight?" and she said "I usually like cramping and not sleep and just sleep right after the exam". To be honest, I'm not the best person to talk to when I am sleep deprived. I get quiet, unfocused, and just mean. So I decided to get a full 8-hr sleep tonight before my exam at 3:30 pm tomorrow. Good decision? Experts think so :)
Sleeping/Lack o' Sleep:
1. Adults between the ages of 24-39 who sleeps less than 7 hours a night are significantly more likely to be obese.
Because irregular or lack of sleep disrupts hormones that regulate appetite.
2. Insufficient/Irregular sleep has been linked to linked increased risk for colon cancer, breast cancer, heart disease and diabetes. (according to the Harvard-run Nurses' Health Study)
3. Sleeping is a great break!
In my opinion, it's the only way we can be totally relaxed and exempted from the world's worries. Sure, dreams might be in there, but it's always a new adventure!
4. Also, did I mention that exercise can increase your sleep quality?
It causes you to have a nice deep relaxing slumber :)
til later!
