In college many of us students don’t get
enough sleep and we tend to stay up late doing homework or do you get
distracted by texting at night and not being able to go to bed until the next
day?
Sleep deprivation can lead to students
in college during transitions in campus life. Students should get about 8 to 9
hours of sleep every day to have energy and patience the next day. Every person
who doesn’t get enough sleep would say that little sleep leaves us drowsy and
unable to concentrate the next day. Our brains have a limit amount of energy
that’s why we should get a good amount of sleep in our daily lives.
We do not fully understand why we
sleep, but a process called memory consolidation occurs during sleep. That’s
why some teachers say to “make sure to study before you go to sleep because you
will remember the next day. “If students get more sleep then they can pay more attention
and learn effectively. Students can nap during the day is not only effective
and a refreshing alternative to caffeine, it can also protect your health and
make you more productive.
We as students can also
stay more focused in our academics and make sure we learn our standards.
According to Laurie Bartle (2008) and David Bainbridge (2009) conclude that
sleep is another way to consolidate learning and to have more focus in school (2013)
This is also another reason why getting a full night of uninterrupted sleep is
important.
In an article in the latest edition of Psychology of Popular Media Culture,
Karla Murdock reported that texting was a direct predictor of sleep problems
among first- year students in a study that examined links among interpersonal
stress, testing messaging behavior, and three indicators of college students
health: burnout, sleep problems and emotional well-being. This is something we
should try to stop if you would want to stop having sleeping problems. Although
some students already know that texting can be distracting we all still do it. We
should take Murdock’s conclusion into consideration because it can help us
focus more in college.
Murdock also notes that this finding
reinforces previous evidence pointing to a direct association between cell-phone
use a poor sleep in adolescents and emerging adults. Among the potential causes
for this connection are two tendencies: students’ feeling pressured to respond immediately
to texts, no matter what time of day or night, and students sleeping with the phone
nearby, thus being awakened by incoming texts. “Text messaging may carry a highrisk of producing or maintaining misunderstanding and productive interactionsduring periods of stress, “she wrote. “When interpersonal stress involves conflict,the conflict, the conditions required for productive communication may beparticularly difficult to achieve through texting”.
Who wouldn’t want to get good hours
of sleep? We all want to feel awake the next day , especially if we go to
school.
