This investigation examines is it possible for light pulses to alter the motor skills, and cardiac movements of biological life forms. Is it possible to change how biological lifeforms functions if we were to shine a light on them every hour at night? Knowing how most animals work, and from that of human experience I can say that light is what makes us stay awake; therefore if we have a light shined on us every hour would we lose sleep? These are the type of questions I will be answering throughout my extended essay. I will talk about how our sleep is affected by light, and monitor this so I can then record the data. I will also be discussing why we sleep. Which you may be wondering how this ties into light, however light does damage our skin

“The Seems The Glitch in Sleep” by John Hulme and Michael Wexler. I think the main message is if you don’t solve the problem quick enough, the problem will get bigger.

It was made by three giant bed bugs torturing him. The glitch was moving very fast. After that there was the ripple effect, it is when the world have strange and very bad things happen.

Safe sleep brochures were discussed with Ms. Melissa and went over safe sleep with her.

Stressor in the patient's life that disrupts sleep. There is usually a history of sleepwalking and a family vulnerability to the disorder. The parasomnia usually occurs in the first part of the night in a NREM stage. After the event the patient is utterly amnestic for the episode and attempts no cover-up of the deed. There is grief, remorse and efforts to cooperate in the investigation. Cartwright sees it as an obligation of the scientist that when he or she has

Robert Bly’s “Waking from Sleep” explores the thoughts and events that occur at night as the country recovers from the war that has just occurred. In the first stanza of the poem, the narrator is addressing the war, the reader can confirm this because he states “tiny explosions at the waterlines” (line2) and “wind of the salty blood” (line 3). The reader is immediately informed that a war has occurred because of the navies setting forth, tiny explosions and salty blood. In the second stanza, the narrator is describing the months after the war. The memories still remain of the tragic events that have occurred. In the third stanza things for the narrator start looking brighter. The country is now rising from bed and waking up. However, the memories of those who have passed away are remembered as their shouts are heard from the harbor. Throughout the fourth, and final stanza the country is healing. The country is singing, and dancing in the kitchen. The author portrays that those who are lost are never forgotten, and the country is reminded of their memories every morning at dawn when silence sweeps the nation.

For the past three months, Tracy has not wanted to go to bed at her normal bedtime, instead wanting to stay up with others. She also frequently awakens during the night complaining of nightmares or monsters. Additionally, Tracy is not progressing with her toilet training anymore and is choosing to stay in diapers for the time being. Tracy’s mom indicates this is a dramatic change in behavior which first began occurring while Anthony was in the hospital. Children at this age are in Piaget’s preoperational stage and according to Ashford and LeCroy, (2013, p.318) have egocentric thinking, meaning they do not recognize other’s perspectives and will often react with “confusion, agitation at night, frightening dreams, regression” in response to a traumatic event. Tracy has also begun to push boundaries more with her parents, which her mother attributes to an inconsistent parenting style since Anthony’s illness. Her mother admits that while in the past both parents tried to take a more Authoritative parenting style, she feels they are both currently under so much stress that they are more inconsistent when they need to discipline Tracy. She states at times they will use verbal reprimands, time-outs, distracting her with other activities, or even letting the behavior slide. Her mother also reported they now use punishment, such as not letting Tracy eat ice

In order to be a successful student at USMAPS and beyond, a cadet candidate must employ a proper sleep schedule. While the mechanisms of sleep are only partially clear and primarily left to scientific speculation, everyone can agree that the vitality of sleep and circadian rhythms is indisputable. That said, while I go through the academic year, I have developed a plan to maintain my sleep habits and ensure that proper sleep will benefit me throughout my academic endeavors.

She will complete an overnight stay at a sleep hospital for monitoring. The sleep hospital will record all of the child’s actions for the entire night. Footage from the overnight stay will appear with voice overs of specialist explaining the process. The doctor will explain why an EEG test and overnight monitor are recommended for the child. As research states epilepsy or another seizure disorder, sleep disorder, a tumor, migraines, head injury, amongst other things are reasons to conduct this test. There will be referral papers that are shown to show the numerous amount of appointments the child has to attend. The parents voice will be heard when the referral papers are shown to express their stress in enduring this situation, and not being able to offer much information to the child as they themselves do not understand the disorder. For each test and appointment, a doctor’s voice over will be heard explain the procedure and the child’s test results. As the doctor explains the condition to the parents, they become scared for their other young

The sleep assessment conducted on the patient had an interesting dynamic in how we think we sleep opposed to how our partner says we sleep. The patient wakes up every morning at 6 a.m. and takes a nap right after lunchtime approximately at 1 p.m. The daily naps, according to the patient, last about forty-five minutes to an hour. When asked about restlessness when waking up the patient with a stern voice and pointed finger says, "When I'm up I'm up and ready to go." The patient also explained that they have no trouble staying asleep; however going to sleep can be challenging depending on if anything troubling is on her mind.

In this soliloquy from Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part II, King Henry laments about his inability to sleep. He wonders why thousands of his subjects are able to find rest, and questions why and what he has done to deserve this restlessness. He compares himself to his subjects, and asks why such vile and lowly people are able to find rest in places far less ideal than his living quarters while a royal king such as he is plagued with insomnia. This soliloquy is effective at portraying the thoughts and disposition of the king, which show his total disdain for his lack of sleep and insomnia, and it does so through the diction, imagery, and syntax that are present within the excerpt.

Many do not believe that we have a technology problem in today’s society. But, ninety-five percent of people use technology an hour before they go to sleep (How Technology Affects Sleep). This is an alarming amount of people who use technology before they go to sleep. You do not have to be looking directly at the technology to trigger the pineal gland to stop releasing melatonin (Kim). Many also believe that lack of sleep due to technology does not affect how they do their daily jobs. Seventy-five percent of those over 30 that reported not getting enough sleep said that when they were tired that their sleepiness effected their daily work (Tarkan). For a school age kid ten hours of sleep is needed. Teenagers also need about nine to ten

Dreams have a lengthy record of being a subject for debate and a source of motivation. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs had several interpreters to decipher their dreams as they believed they were messages from the gods (Lincoln, 1935, p.68). The ancient Hebrews believed that their dreams were tied to divine revelations as well. Native American tribes believed that dreams were a connection to their ancestors and used obtaining a vision from a dream as a rite of passage (Tedlock, 1981, p.324). In the present day, every night all across the world, people still experience sequences of imagery encompassed by sensations and emotions while asleep. The average person tends to dream up to seven times a night
