Sleep STEM

Today during class we learned about the importance of sleep and the impacts that sleep has on your life if you don't get enough of it. I never new that sleep was so complex and has that large of an impact on your health and well being. I always thought that sleep was just about your brain falling asleep and in the morning it was about your brain waking up. I never new that there were so many different parts of sleep such as deep sleep. The lesson about sleep was very eye opening to me and my sleeping habits. I learned that I need to change the sleeping habits.

 

While mr.kaneko was teaching this lesson I realized that my sleeping habits weren't as good as they could be. As he was talking I thought of how little sleep I get. I usually fall asleep around 11 o'clock at night and that is really bad because for my age I need to have a minimum of 9 hours of sleep every night however I can't do that all the time because I usually get home at six because I have tennis and then I have to do homework which I don't have a lot for mpx however I do have a lot for math and science. The worst part about that is that I always wake up in the middle of the night and I can't fall back to sleep and it also takes me a long time to actually fall a sleep.

 

This unit about sleep was very eye opening about my sleeping habits and thought me that I had to change my sleeping habits because my energy when I wake up is very low and I want to fall back to sleep. I usually fall asleep at 11 or 12 and I wake up at 6. I never new that there was something called a rem cycle and I found that to be the most interesting part of the unit.
