Also because she was studying abroad and she relied on caffeine to stay awake. Her family saw it as “jet lag not mania.” A few months later she stated that one friend started to whisper about her whenever Natalie would turn the other way. Since they were on a road trip and they were tight you would think its normal to have some fights. She had no…

For every person that has set foot on earth, sleep is a natural thing. We slide under the covers, fluff up our pillows, and close our eyes. We fall asleep, wake up in the morning unable to remember the past few hours, and feel refreshed; it’s just that simple (Healthy Sleep). Or is it that simple? “Until the 1950s, most people thought of sleep as a passive, dormant part of our daily lives” and to the average human mind sleep is just that, but sleep is much more complex than we may think…

My earliest memory of ever having an interest in architecture was when I was three years old playing with the Lego Duplo set my parents had bought me. I wanted my design for my Barbie’s house to be something spectacular that no other Barbie had. I remember that passion, that passion that I still have today for architecture. One of the reasons I chose architecture as my major over everything else is because I love how I have the capability to design structures that can move people both physically…

Studies have shown that 40% of American high schools start before 8 AM, with more than 20% of middle schools starting at 7:45 AM or earlier.(Herrington) Due to this early start, most teens only get 6-7 hours of sleep when they really need 8-10 hours to be healthy. How can schools expect teens to thrive in school when they 're not getting nearly enough sleep to function completely properly? Sleep is so important to your health; yet many teens seem to be very much deprived of it. It is CRITICAL to…

However, two days later, Beth is dead, and doctors tell her shocked husband Mitch Emhoff (Matt Damon) that they have no idea what killed her.

for enough sleep. After school activities, homework, jobs, social activities, and family all affect how much sleep a teen receives each night (“Backgrounder: Later School Start Times” 1). A study of sleep deprivation describes teens experiencing jet lag on a daily basis (Cline 1). However, only 17.7% of the United States’ public middle and high school meet the 9 am guideline set by psychologists (Lewis 1). Consequently, schools should start later in the day for high school students to overall…
