Yesterday I went to sleep at 2 am and only for 4 hours of sleep. This was because I was doing homework late at night, which shows that I need to work on my time management skills between my personal and school life.

One experience I have with sleep deprivation is when I didnt sleep to study for my exam on AP and the next day, I was so sleepy while taking the test.

I once had sleep deprivation because I was out camping with my family, then us kids decided to stay up for the sunrise. We slept at night around 10-12 then woke up around 4 or 5 then watched the sunrise and we didn’t go sleep for the rest of the day.

One occurrence I had encountered with sleep deprivation was not being able to sleep until 2am due to finishing up AP assignments. Knowing the importance of sleep, I will better maintain my sleeping habits and schedule to prevent this from becoming often!

I have had sleep deprivation many times especially when I was up late doing homework or watching a show at night. It really affected my performance in school, and I have not thought about it before I listened to this great presentation about sleep deprivation and why it’s so important for us to have a healthy sleep schedule.

Basically played games all night and only got an hour of sleep. I had a family gathering the next day and let's just say that I slept through the whole thing, not even paying attention.

Sleep is a Biological need

Establishing a plan to sleep 8-10 hours is a great time to start a healthy sleep. After getting use to it perhaps 9-10 hours good to get use to overtime. Avoiding distractions from our daily sleep patterns can significantly improve our overall health and meet our biological need of sleep. Eating healthy, exercise, study or recreate self, social time (including family) would be helpful to incorporate too.

Sleep deprivation is caused by many occurrences in our lives, but for me the main cause happens to be mainly about school, stress, and distractions. There was this day when I had a lot of school work to get done and I stayed awake until 3 am just to do it, I was also in the process of studying for my test. This caused me to be inattentive during my class hours which ended up badly because I couldn't focus on what the teacher was trying to teach. Another thing is that it messes with my sleeping schedule because I always end up falling asleep in the afternoons during the weekends. It also had a bad affect on my health because it weakened my immune system and made me less motivated.

Some experiences I had with sleep deprivation was when I had hard classes like human physiology and biology, it was really hard and I had a lot of work that needed to be done so I had to stay up really late just to do my work. This caused me to have hard time focusing in class during the day time. I would fall asleep in class, and I couldn’t focus in class.

Sometimes I would take long naps during the day which ruins my sleep schedule because it ends up being hard for me to fall asleep at night since I would already feel well rested. When this happens, it would usually be on a weekday meaning I ended up going to school running on 0 sleep. This leads to me being too tired to get any work done and having to fight the urge to fall asleep until it’s nighttime so that I don’t repeat the cycle of going through the day with no sleep at all again. Because I have to try not to fall asleep until it’s nighttime, I become frustrated and stressed out since I’m soooo tired. Overall, I try not to take long naps during the day to prevent myself from not getting any sleep once it’s nighttime.
