For those of you who can’t get through the day without a nap, this course is for you. In this first year Odyssey Program seminar, Catching Zzz’s, you will learn about the three different types of naps: planned, emergency and habitual napping. You will also find out which type of napper you are. You will obtain a better understanding of the five stages of sleep and the ways you cycle through them while you are sleeping. There are multiple benefits of napping. Naps boost alertness, lower stress, and heighten senses. Students will learn the best time to take a nap, and how important it is to know how long to nap for, as the length determines how beneficial the nap will be. Every positive has a negative, so this course will also cover the negative
Before my arrival to the Naval Academy Preparatory School, I was well aware that I would be challenged mentally, physically and morally. I knew that my success at NAPS would warrant an appointment to the Naval Academy, and it would be based off of my best efforts. I struggled through the curriculum while at NAPS, but I endured by turning to the professors and tutors during their office hours in order to fully prepare myself for upcoming exams. I knew that in order to get through the Academy, it was absolutely essential that I carried over the qualities of hard work and perseverance over the following four years. The academics at the Academy proved to be challenging, and I relied on my personal sense of hard work and dedication in order to
Do you like sleeping? Most people do and it’s a good thing. Some people might say sleeping is an unproductive habit but truly it’s not! Sleeping can be a very important thing. Sleeping can help with mood, improve how alert someone can be, and be a benefit to your heath.
Sleep is a very important objective that the human body needs. Humans as a whole are expected to do so many things, and still get the right amount of sleep (8-9 hours). With that said, I agree that instead of expecting so much out of us, let’s just go day by day and do what we can to be sure we do get the sleep we need. Not getting enough sleep is not a healthy thing. Such as needing oxygen, water and food to survive, we also need sleep as well. I would love to have more time to sleep, just so I could be up and energized the next day. When people do not get enough sleep it can cause many problems, such as death. Not getting the right amount of sleep and then driving somewhere, could lead to you falling asleep behind the wheel. Falling asleep behind the wheel of a car could make you crash and
I wake up from a nap, hot and dizzy, to read a message from Mercedes,
We lay in a carpet of pubescent, pimply teenagers. They're all sleeping peacefully with smiles smeared on their faces, remembering the pleasant pain that twisted their tummies when they laughed together. Everyone seems to sigh and snore in synchrony as if sleeping is some sort of art. Some snoozing teens are on top of each other and others lie curled comfortably in corners. Friends use each other as pillows and share blankets with each other. Every once in a while someone will shift as if they are startled, but they are just moving closer to the welcoming warmth of another sleeping soul. A computer projects a movie, Inception onto the wall in front of the kids sequestered inside sleeping bags. It's reflection dances on their shiny faces and watercolors the walls blue.
What are the effects of sleep, and the amount of sleep, on a person’s life?
Have you asked a question-why do people need sleep? If people do not sleep for several days, what consequences will be caused on our physical and psychological?
Sometimes, it is hard to get sleep, but with a few of these pointers, you can fall asleep like a dream. First, you have to avoid sleeping in, and keep a good sleeping schedule. This will improve your ability to sleep when it is time for bed. Another tip, is to stay off of electronics 30 minutes to an hour. Doing this will enable your brain to tell you that it is time to sleep. Along with keeping a good sleeping schedule, having exercise or experiencing the sun in the morning will burn the carbs in your body so that you could sleep better at night. When it is time for bed, be sure that the room is completely dark, and keep your pets off of your bed. It may not seem like a big deal, but when they rustle around, it will keep you from waking up

What do people think of when they first hear the word nap? Everyday sayings such as snatching a nap, being caught napping, snoozing, or stealing forty winks are all beneficial daily activities we need to add to our busy life. If we do, we will be more awake and capable to reach our full potential as an individual. People don’t realize how important a nap can be. Although popular beliefs suggest that naps are a waste of time, naps actually increase productivity by resting the brain.
What is sleep? I used to remember the feeling of sleep and how it felt but now it's not even a choice. It's either saty up all night and stare at a wall or play on your phone. Whenever I can fall asleep I end up waking up because of a nightmare. Sleep for me isn't even a choice anymore. This is the reason for the purple blueish bags under my eye's. This is the reason I'm never in a good mood. This is the reason my head hurts everyday. It's the same reason for everything. I just need the feeling of sleep back. I need to remember how it felt. I just want the feeling back just for one night
I must admit I would have also thought, why study sleep? I find it interesting that scientists have been researching the biology of sleep for 50 plus years. It does not surprise me that anthropologists have rarely looked into the sleep patterns and practices of different cultures, classes and ethnic groups here or worldwide. It doesn’t strike me as something they would find pertinent to identifying their finds. I would like to someday know why people sleep and dream.
I’ve never been one to take naps. But in my the beginning of my senior year, I found myself constantly exhausted, taking two to three hour naps a couple times a week. Before we had even gotten into the groove of school, I had been prescribed a medication called Topiramate (also known as Topamax) to help manage the constant headaches and migraines I woke up with every day. Months passed, and my naps became more frequent. No matter how much sleep I got at night, how long my naps were, or how many I took, I still was barely able to stay awake. In early December, I donated blood, just like I do every fifty-six days. My goal is to donate as often as possible to save as many lives as I can. This was my fourth donation, and preceded a choir concert
My nap was great after my long hard morning of playing with my toys. Wait, let's start from the beginning, I woke up this morning ate my delicious breakfast and went to go play with all of my toys. I played with my dog Buster. And i was watching my favorite show, Dora. My mom was so busy cleaning she wouldn´t play with me.
I chose a study focusing on whether naps during the day facilitate learning, specifically verb generalization. This topic interests me because as a father life got a whole lot easier once I was able to figure out what my child wanted; for example, being able to differentiate between his hungry versus tired cry. Language acquisition is important to me because the sooner he can verbalize his wants and needs, the easier and more effectively I will be able to meet them, in addition to helping him learn about the world around him. Moreover, sometimes a child’s schedule and their parent’s schedule don’t align and the child might not be able to take a nap when he/she needs it. This topic interested me because it knowing whether naps will help
