Learning Challenge: Lack of Sleep

 Video : What would happen if you didn’t sleep?

In this extra credit HEART challenge, I learnt that getting enough sleep is an essential thing in our lives to maintain our health and sanity. I never knew that not sleeping enough could increase the possibilities to have a stroke as mentioned that a person kept awake for 24 hours watching the world cup and died from a stroke. Lack of sleep could also cause Hallucinations, lack of concentration, short term memory, Hormonal imbalance, dementia,  and diabetes. We as adults should have from 7-8 hours of sleep a day while children need 10 hours of sleep a day.

Learning Challenge: Sleep Issues

 Article: Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying

Sleeping from 6-8 hours a day is important. It is the ideal amount of hours to get enough sleep. I have always had an issue with getting enough sleep since I start doing assignments and studying at night so I be awake all night then sleep after midnight and sometimes 3a.m even though I had school at 7a.m. This was never a problem for mw because I got used to it but sometimes I wish I slept like normal people and wake up early but that never happens; however, in my second year of college my sleep schedule was getting better and better since I have to wake up so early to get the bus and then when I get back home I sleep at 1 or 12 which is better than sleeping at 3 or 4 every day. In this article, I learnt that if I don't get enough sleep because I be awake to study will get me low grades. It was my first time to know that kids who sleep early and get enough sleep can help increase language acquisition skills. I will definitely try to have a good sleep schedule to be able to enjoy my day better and become healthier.
