`` The Influencing Machines ``

Brooke Gladstone and Josh Neufeld are the authors of the article “The Influencing Machines”. This article is about technology and is written through a comic-style form. Gladstone’s main idea on this article is that we should not fear technology. Gladstone’s and Neufeld’s comic-style article about technology is the best way to convey her argument because it gives visuals to express her argument, has a different form of arrangement of her details and thesis, and she gives examples of modern technology that should not scare us.

A common problem in many young adults in college is sleep deprivation. College students are some of the most sleep deprived people. Their sleep hygiene behavior is worse than adults. An adequate amount of sleep time is 7 to 8 hours each night to complete a regular sleep cycle. When college students have less sleep time, they are disturbing their sleeping cycle and their bodies respond by decreasing their ability to concentrate on tasks. Sleep deprivation can affect your everyday life in many different ways. For instances, it can decrease your physical health, mental health, and academic performance. The following articles will be focusing on

Sleep is a beautiful thing, but people do not get enough of it. It is a time for the body to rejuvenate and process the events of the day. Sleeping is something that we seek out. Getting the recommended amount of sleep allows our body to function properly the next day. Without it, there could be detrimental consequences. The National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke says that without sleep, neurons could be “polluted with byproducts”. In severe cases, people who get very little sleep often experience mood swings, hallucinations and cells do not continue to reproduce.

To understand why students aren’t getting enough sleep, first we need to understand what sleep really is. According to the Oxford Dictionary, sleep is “A condition of

Everyone needs sleep and it will make a day go smoothly or completely ruin someone’s rest of the day. Every human, animal, and most insects require a sufficient amount of sleep to function normally thought-out their day and night. On average humans need about seven to ten hours of sleep, as a normal requirement for the brain to recover conventionally. However, 40-50 percent of Americans do not get enough sleep every night (Information on Insomnia, n.d.). Lack of time or stressful living schedule may hinder there sleeping time. Others may have a disorder that causes them to have horrible sleep experiences and not being able to sleep.

Sleep is a very important aspect of daily life. Many people have jobs, school, and family obligations to incorporate into their day. Sometimes sleep gets pushed on the back burner to make room for other activities. Sleep deprivation is a condition describing when a person doesn’t get enough sleep. Although the amount of sleep that people need varies, most people (adults) generally need as much as eight hours of sleep each night to feel well rested and alert throughout the day and evening(Drowsy Driving: Asleep at the Wheel, 2015).

All of us are aware about the importance of sleep in our lives. In fact, people that don’t get enough sleep at night may experience a variety of health issues in the long run. Unfortunately, students find it as a hard task to sleep about 8-9 hours a day because they have to wake up early and go to school. This creates a tremendous impact on their physical and mental health.

The importance of sleep is not well recognized in our society, not only among high school/college students, but also for adults in the workforce who work overtime to meet the demands of their boss/company. There are so many health issues associated with the lack of sleep, but people are often too busy with their chaotic schedules that they fail to take care of themselves and their health. Sleep is more important than you

On average, an adult should receive at least seven to eight hours of sleep each night to function effectively. Sleep deprivation is caused in many different ways. As reported by Gallup Polls, about 14% of Americans receive 5 hours or less of sleep per night. Many of today’s college students suffer from sleep deprivation. The balancing of classes, extracurricular activities, work, and homework take away from the hours needed to receive sufficient rest. This is called voluntary sleep deprivation, which is when one has the ability to decide whether to rest or continue in what they are doing. These decisions cause one to suffer from many different

Sleep is a basic human need, it affects how we function on a daily basis and is essential for a person’s health and well being. Sleeping allows the body to recharge and affords the brain the opportunity to integrate important facts, memories and emotional impressions recorded from the previous day. There are five stages of sleep that people go through: Stages one, two, three, four, and Rapid Eye Movement (REM). Sleep is important for all human beings but the amount of sleep each person needs is dependent on many different factors, for example age. Infants generally need sixteen hours of sleep a day, teenagers need about nine hours, and for most adults, seven to eight hours a night is ideal. If people do not sleep enough for several nights they

Research indicates that America’s sleep problems have increased and might be the number one health problem. The average amount of sleep that people get per night can range anywhere from three to twelve hours. According to Dr. David Dinges at the University of Pennsylvania, it is a fact that people who get fewer than six hours of sleep a night do not live as long as people who get seven hours or more. Most people do not realize the importance of sleep or even realize that it is needed to survive. Many people experience sleep deprivation; however it is commonly seen in college students. Irregular sleeping patterns tend to occur in students, which can later lead to long-term effects.

Sleep is an integral part of live and we cannot function without it. Despite knowing this very well, many people try to anyway. I remember the 3rd quarter of my freshman year, my classmates and I had been given a lot of schoolwork. I remember upperclassmen making jokes to us about how they had gone through phases of ‘not sleeping’ where they would basically live off caffeine and a use a whole slew of other tactics to minimize the amount of sleep they got in order to keep up with their work. During these times my classmates and I would host sessions of “3 AM club”, where we would stay up till the eponymous time as a class and

It is no surprise that college students aren’t getting enough sleep. We always have something to do. If it isn’t the plethora amount of homework we receive on a weekly basis, then it might be our extracurricular activities keeping us up, and let’s not forget about working! It is known that the average amount sleep a human needs is about 8 hours a day, but as college students, we are lucky to get at least 5! Sleep is important for numerous reasons: It makes us feel rejuvenated, strengths our immune system, puts us in a better mood, and its essential for normal cognitive and motor function. In this observation, I will be discussing the insufficient amount of sleep Rutgers students get while attending school. The lack of sleep is a public health

I knew that lack of sleep causes a wide range of attention problems along with others, but I was not aware that 40% of US teenagers suffered from sleep deprivation. As this school year started I noticed a pattern. The pattern was that at least twice a week I will most likely be up until 1 in the morning trying to complete assignments or study. After pulling this stunt for a solid month I cried when we had a three day weekend and I slept for about 12 hours in one night. This combined with my insomniac tendencies does not help my brain at all. A find myself being less focused while driving or handling simple tasks. Maybe scientist will be able to find a way for lack of sleep not be such a

We spend one third of our lives doing it, and yet, some of us never seem to be able to get enough. People all over the world don’t receive enough sleep whether it’s from a medical condition like narcolepsy, or simply not having enough time in a day. The effects of getting a good night’s rest are essential and signs of sleep depravation are not as hard to spot as one may think.
