The Social Factors Of Insomnia

Attribution is an everyday part of life that involves everyone, but only a few take time to stop and think about what it is, and the implications that it has on the world. Baron and Byrne (2000) define attribution as a process through which people try to understand the causes of their actions and behaviors as well as those of other people. While trying to figure out the causes of behavior, people often make fundamental errors. These errors prohibit people from identifying the true sources of these behaviors.

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder which makes falling asleep very hard, or cause you to stay up or wake up, or make you unable to get back to sleep. In addition, insomnia can deplete your energy and reduce disturb your mood. Moreover, it can spoil your work performance, health, and quality of life. Also, you may still suffer feeling tired and ruin your temper. when you wake up.

In the poem, “Insomnia” by Elizabeth Bishop, the speaker discusses her feelings and experiences of restlessness and loneliness during the night, instigated by her lover’s unrequited love. The poem explores the parallel between the speaker and the moon through their shared dissatisfaction with themselves and the speaker’s aspiration to achieve the strength of the moon. In the poem, the speaker recognizes her paralysis in her feminine role and conveys her desire to escape from the realities of a patriarchal society toward an inverted fantastical reality.

The setting of the film is one of the many central characteristics in filming, as it creates, provides and heavily influences the theme, mood and sense of the movie. The Scandinavian region comprises the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden which offers a scenery such as deep dark forest, silent landscapes, freezing and challenging waters, long and chilly winters and midnight sun. These create a perfect setting for the three Scandinavian films: Insomnia (1997), Let the Right One In (2008), and King of Devil’s Island (2010). The use of Scandinavian scenery which creates a sense of madness, isolation, loneliness, and danger that hides such moral and social issues in their inner worlds. This paper will examine the settings of the movies mentioned

Give a one-sentence definition of internal validity. As an example, I’m going to conduct a study that deprives college students of sleep, to prove their grades will go down as a result. If I found a link between reduced sleep and reduced grades, what is an internally valid conclusion about the results of this study (be specific)?

This paper examines five different sources of information that addresses information pertaining to wakeful resting or sleeping and the effects it has on memory garnered by experiments performed on humans and animals. Wakeful resting is defined as an individual that has not fallen asleep but has engaged in a period of rest that cuts them off from the distractions of the outside world. Sleep is the bodies natural cycle of rest that suspends the consciousness and allows both the body and the mind to take a break from any stressful activities and recover. By either taking a short wakeful rest or going to sleep after learning new material, memory consolidation in both humans and animals will be improved, and it is not limited to humans that

Sleep deprivation and sleep disorders among college students is an area of concern among researchers, because of the relationship between quality sleep and quality of academic performance. The factors that have been shown to affect sleep quality or sleep patterns include staying up late, using social networking, and partying. This research uses a simple, unique survey instrument. A total of fifty college students participated in the study. Results substantiate the hypothesis that social media use is heavy among college students, and that the use of social media will be correlated with less sleep and less effective study habits. Future research may discover ways of helping students develop more balanced approaches to their academic, online, and social lives.

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.

Insomnia can have a significant impact on men's health. A study has found men are more likely than women to die from insomnia related medical conditions. Men can lower their risk of dying an early death by getting at least six hours of sleep a night.

The health consequences of lack of sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness affect 50 to 70 million Americans annually. Sleep deprivation costs the United States 15 billion dollars annually in health care. In addition, industry spend $50 billion dollars in lost productivity (NIH, 2004).

Doing the sleeping inventory evaluation, I learned that a lot of the things I do daily that affect my sleep. An example would be, not getting enough exercise. Being physically active during the day will make you more tired at the end of the day which makes it easier to sleep and much faster! Something I do every night before I go to bed, is staying up late on my phone. You shouldn’t be on your phone, watching tv or reading a book in bed, because it can make it harder to calm yourself to fall asleep because you are focusing, I will give myself an hour to unwind before going to sleep.

A common and overlooked sleep problem throughout college aged people is insomnia. While some people don’t even know they have it, it could be greatly affecting their outlook on life. Not getting the correct amount of sleep each night can lead to some very extreme mental health problems. These include: paranoia, hallucinations, schizophrenia, and night terrors. Could therapy help people who suffer from these health problems caused by insomnia? Researchers who conducted this experiment in the UK, Freeman at el, (2015) hypothesized insomnia is a contributory casual factor to psychotic-like experiences. With the help of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), the subjects will get better sleep, therefore they will have less psychotic-like experiences.

I was going to try and arrange a time to talk on the phone but after thinking about it and considering how busy you are I just decided to just text you. I was not going to tell you and still debate whether I should of but it involves you and I felt like I owed it to the friendship we had.

The majority of correlational designs are cross-sectional, which demonstrate associations between variables but they do not enable comprehensive explanations of the findings (Fallone, Acebo, Carskadon & Seifer, 2005). Longitudinal studies, on the other hand, have allowed more long-term trends to be established between sleep disturbances and behaviour. However, without experimental manipulation that controls for confounding variables, definitive causal relationships cannot be inferred. A longitudinal study by Fredriksen, Reddy, Rhodes and Way (2004) assessed children across three years during middle school in order to investigate the developmental changes of sleep patterns and its possible links with academic grades and internalising behaviours. This study revealed that less sleep over time was associated with lower levels of self-esteem and higher levels of depressive symptoms. This study relied on self-report, which enabled a large sample of individuals to be investigated, however the results may be at risk of response bias. Although this study could not determine cause and effect, the authors used an analytical process called cross-domain modelling, which meant that the associative findings were deemed to be relatively accurate (Fredriksen et al., 2004). Longitudinal research suggests that there is a long-term association between sleep disturbance and social functioning.

Insomnia affects almost half of adults living in America. (# 8, 2012) This is a shared sleeping disorder that many people across the universe are diagnosed with. Several causes of insomnia include exercising too much, stress, withdrawal from alcohol or a certain drug, physical circumstances, and diseases. People with insomnia usually have trouble going to sleep or staying asleep, which causes people to have poor-quality sleep, which will affect their mood, energy, and productiveness for the next day. (MediLexicon, Intl., 2012) More symptoms of insomnia include waking up earlier than needed, having trouble falling back asleep, and being in a bad mood the following day. Insomnia can cause many more problems such as weight
