Sleep Persuasive Speech

Are you tired and having trouble paying attention in class? Focusing on tasks at hand? Or just completely being overall unproductive? The average college student is deprived at least two full hours asleep each night according to “College Tidbits” a website designed to promote healthy lifestyles and productivity in daily college life. These results were pooled from multiple surveys done over hundreds of campuses throughout the United States. Today, I hope to persuade you to fight the statistics and get those extra two hours of sleep. Do what it takes to get the full seven to nine hours that is suggested by the Mayo Clinic. I will discuss two problems. Why college students are not

Sleep deprivation is prevalent in industrialized societies and has been linked to serious health issues and traffic accidents. This essay views sleep and sleep deprivation from five different motivational perspectives in order to gain a holistic understanding of the phenomena. From evolutionary, psychodynamic, behaviourist, cognitive, and hierarchy of needs perspectives, it is inferred that the cognitive and behaviourist perspectives uphold the most merit for gaining understanding into sleep and sleep deprivation. However, it is

As a college student, the information David Randall presents is very intriguing due to the fact that most of us are sleep deprived due to late night studying, among other things. It is very evident that Randall relies on statistics to build and progress his argument. He tells us how over time certain statistics have increases and by how much. This opens our eyes and makes us realize that there really is an issue. By providing these sources Randall becomes trustworthy and our doubt of whether this is true or not are put to rest. The author comes into contact with our feels once he brings in true stories to the picture. He informs us of the incidents that have occurred due to sleep deprivation. At this point the issue becomes more than a statistical

The average human spends about 25 years of their life sleeping. That is equal to one-third of a person’s life. So if sleep is vital and common among every single human, what do you know about it? What happens when we sleep (Attention Grabber)? Before the 1950s, scientists believed that the brain would just “shut off” when we would go to sleep. It wasn’t until the discovery of the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) state that scientists really looked into what happens in the brain while we are asleep. Studies have found that we go through a cycle of stages during sleep, and it is important for our health (Orientation to Topic). Today, I am going to inform you about what really happens when we sleep, and some issues that are found among it (Specific Purpose). In order to really understand this worldwide commonality, you need to know some background on sleep, the stages in the cycle, and some common disorders (Central Idea). I have taken a year long psychology course that went into depth on sleep psychology, and I have done extensive research on the topic to better grasp it (Statement of Credibility). I want to inform you on sleep so you can understand what happens when you close your eyes every night, and so you can detect any irregularities in your sleep pattern (Statement of Goodwill). First, I will give a background of why and how we know to sleep, then I will explain the stages in the sleep cycle, and finally I will tell you about some common disorders (Preview).

When thinking about a public health issue that interests me I referred to healthy people 20/20. One that stuck out to me was “sleep health” and that is because it is something that effects everyone including me, my family and friends. Many people struggle to get the sleep they need and this effects their mental and physical health. Throughout my life there have been a few times where I had troubles getting and staying a sleep. These were always in times of stress, but I used to think I had insomnia, and that I couldn’t sleep because of my disease, not because of my stress. According to Trends in the prevalence of short sleepers in the USA, sleep disturbances have gone up significantly over

I hope you slept soundly which afforded rest and relaxation and released all, if any built up tension. Assuming upon awaking you were not plagued by any any accompanying discomforts, and the stiffness mentioned in our nightly phone conversation as eased. Your plans for today as stated, include the following errands to post office, supermarket, and possibly the pharmacy, they should be a salutary amount of physical activity and contribute to a deep unbroken sleep tonight.

Hook: Do you get enough sleep? Are you getting enough the right amount of sleep? Body1: First of all,if you're a teen that only gets 8 hours of sleep you need about 9-10 hours of sleep.according to source #1 teens need 9-10 hours of sleep to be more alert and have more mental performance,but napping can help too,napping has a downside to(For example in source #1 it says bad sleep habits and long term sleep loss will affect your health.) so in conclusion sleeping and napping can help you stay focused and stay alert but is bad too.

What do the effects of sleep deprivation have on people? When a person does not get enough sleep, he or she is depriving his or her body of something that it needs. A delightful sleep is one of the most satisfying human experiences with a role to play in supporting a good mood and cognitive acuity as well as in promoting physiologic balance and resilience (Chittora, Jain and Suhalka). People think because they get an insufficient number of hours of sleep, they will not have an emotional impact by it. Sleep is a required need for peoples’ day to day life to be able to perform and stay healthy emotionally and physically. The effects of sleep deprivation are an issue because it affects mood, performance, and health.

The audience can not hear me. They sit in their seats and ponder the question of my exact location. Knowing that I am here, they wonder if the poor soul admitted into my arena shall suffer my wrath!

It’s a night like any other. You have an early morning tomorrow so you plan on getting a good nights sleep. Suddenly a gnawing feeling creeps up on the edge of your mind as you consider your tendency to accidentally slip into random bouts of insomnia. As you wash up and go through your nightly routine you think to yourself, “I hope I can fall a sleep tonight.” And that is your first mistake. The seed of doubt that sprouts in your mind will now grow into nightmarish beanstalk of frustration that will grow steadily into the night the more you give thought to your sleeplessness. The more you worry about falling asleep, the smaller your chances of it actually happening become. But by now it is too late and the only thing you can think about is sleep itself. Now you are all set to enter a long night of frustration and anger. What will you do now with the long hours ahead of you before morning comes? Luckily I have had much first hand experiences with nights like these and I can give you the steps to properly suffer through the night.
