Sweet Dreams

Today I was randomly searching things on the internet because my eye would not stop twitching. I decided to look online and see what the affects are. The affects of eye twitching can be from sleep deprivation, stress or being on a computer for long periods of time. This year I haven't been stressed. My junior year was way more stressful than my senior year so far. The solution to my eye twitching is probably from not getting enough sleep and being on the computer for long periods time. It is a combination of both.

I was asking to myself why am I so tired all the time? It is getting to the point where it doesn't make sense. I have realized that I have so many things to get done by a deadline and I do't have a lot of time especially between work and school combined with other activities. So, I decided to look up the importance of sleep. One of the websites that I researched talked about the importance of sleep and how it affects your health mentally and physically. If we don't get enough sleep, how are we supposed to function during the day?

Yes, work is important and school is important but when are we going to be able to take care of ourselves? If I got enough sleep every night I would be more more progressive in the things I do. Assignments would be good all of the time and I wouldn't have to debate on which subject will have to suffer because I have way to much to do and compare how important one subject is to another. It is ridiculous. We have such high expectations from others and we put pressure on ourselves as well which will cause more stress.

I am not saying that I should have no work, but it should also be reasonable. When students receive assignments from teachers, sometimes I ask myself, "Do they realize that I have six other subjects that I have to worry about? Your class is not the only class that I have!"

We live in a society where we are constantly moving and we never get a chance to take a rest. We run ourselves so much to the point where we burn out and have no more energy left. It amazes me how sleep is such a necessity, but we don't get enough of it.
