This applies quite literally to physical health: the better you eat, the healthier you will be.]]> 2021-05-01 18:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481199741 johnandrewparlin https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481203148 Now that you understand the importance of good nutrition, you body then needs something to do with all that energy. Exercise keeps essential organs and parts of the body like your heart and muscles in shape so they can do their jobs. ]]> 2021-05-01 18:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481203148 johnandrewparlin https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481216871 I chose this topic because it is something that I believe is often overlooked. Getting a good night's sleep is not prioritized as much as it should be, but its positive outcomes certainly do not go unnoticed. Getting into a healthy sleep routine can bring about great positive change for anyone who implements it, and this change is much more than simply not feeling tired.]]> 2021-05-01 18:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481216871 johnandrewparlin https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481223141 Yes, and as a college student, your responsibilities will always still be there when you wake up. But you will be in a better state to complete them if you get enough rest. College requires a great amount of mental effort, which can lead to physical exhaustion and mental burnout. It is important to sleep so that you have the energy to carry out your tasks effectively. ]]> 2021-05-01 18:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481223141 johnandrewparlin https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481296040 In a study conducted on chemistry students at MIT, it was confirmed that students who get enough sleep (7 1/2 hours) got better grades than those who got less sleep (50% decrease for 6 1/2 hours). Quantity and consistency aren't all that matter, however. It was found that when students went to sleep past the threshold (2 A.M.) their grades also suffered, regardless of how much they slept. It is important to remember each factor in crafting a healthy sleep routine, so that you aren't confused when you are still struggling.]]> 2021-05-01 19:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481296040 johnandrewparlin https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481304611 The average college student sleeps for around 6-7 hours per night. This statistic is just shy of the amount recommended for young adults (7-9 hours) by medical doctors at the Sleep Foundation. I usually get around 8-9 hours per night, and this has worked very well for me. In high school, however, I would often get 6 or less hours of sleep, which I noticed didn't make me feel very good. I think as long as I get more at least 8 hours, I feel well rested and don't feel tired during the day. I would highly recommend prioritizing sleep for college students. ]]> 2021-05-01 19:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481304611 johnandrewparlin https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481325250 This video suggested creating a table where you write down information about your sleeping habits, such as when you go to bed, how much you are sleeping, when you wake up, and how you felt the day after. I have never kept track of my sleep like this before, but I am definitely interested in how I am sleeping, because it is currently working for me. I would like to find out if I am consistent with my bedtime, because I know the importance of consistency.]]> 2021-05-01 19:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481325250 johnandrewparlin https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481329666 The most interesting thing about this topic for me is that it has such a large influence on our daily lives and is responsible for strengthened immune systems, reduced stress, improved mood, and even better judgement and decision-making. Sleep is a natural, essential part of our lives, and it is imperative to maintain healthy sleep habits.]]> 2021-05-01 19:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandrewparlin/8wbiegnzjyjyb74n/wish/1481329666
