I had a problem of waking up groggy and not getting enough done in the morning rushing so I tried a sleep cycle app that could possibly help me. So for a few days out of the week I decided to track my level of alertness within the morning of using the app.
Monday night to Tuesday morning and Tuesday night to Wednesday morning :
Monday night I used the app however the app proved ineffective for many factors. The app needed to be placed right next to my bed on top of a chair or dresser of same height of my bed and next to where I sleep. The way my room is positioned I could not do that nor did I have a tall enough chair or dresser. I could have left it right on top of my bed but as the app also required for it to be plugged into a charger it

I wasn't tired or groggy but I woke up feeling positive which sort of gave me a power boost and I did have time to spare at the end.
Tuesday night to Wednesday morning: I slept in until 6:40 and didn't feel so energetic but I felt a grounding if I didn't make it to school on time. I was late by a few minutes.
Did not track for Wednesday night to thursday morning
Thursday night to Friday night: I went to bad around 11:15-11:25 and woke up at 5:30 am. For the first minute or two of being awake I was still sleepy but something clicked and I felt good for the rest of my morning. I got ready really quickly and had about 20 shaved of my total routine time. In the end for the days that I did track it worked and I felt energized, and got done quicker. However I did not track it certain days because my nights will always be different giving me different sleep times and going online to the website was a hassle sometimes. Other times i just wanted to go to sleep immediately but if I wanted to wake up refreshed I would have to stay up longer and I just couldn't stay up another half hour. Again the sleep cycle works it did help me shave time off my morning routine. So overall the night and day itself is a success but following through everyday was
Set your alarm at least an hour before you really need to get out of the bed. If you set the alarm for an earlier hour you get to hit the snooze button few extra times. After the third hit, you should have awakened enough to actually rise out of the bed. Fix yourself a cup of coffee, sit on the sofa, and stare into space at least fifteen minutes, but no more than thirty. This gives you time to not think about all that you have to do today.
Healthy sleep is essential for proper brain and body functionality” (Infographic: How Technology Affects Our Sleep). Sleep is necessary to survive, so it is important that Americans get an optimal amount of sleep. The hours of sleep per night people are receiving has decreased over the past century. I believe that the increased use of technology, rising stress levels, combined with a sedentary lifestyle are only some of the factors responsible for the overall decrease in the number of hours of sleep per night over the past century. Unless we as Americans change our habits and make obtaining a good night’s sleep a higher priority, this trend of fewer hours of sleep a night will continue to increase as well as the unwanted effects of sleep
I looked up at Gabriel from the grass. I never actually got to inspect the full extent of his features. His dark brown hair was tussled and looked as if he had been running his fingers through it from stress. His green eyes resembled emeralds. He had a bit of muscle on him, but he wasn’t too broad shouldered. You could see a small rose tattoo on his upper bicep. He wore a dark green t-shirt and jeans. He was definitely handsome, and all his features complimented each other.
The body and brain are changing machines, where states of consciousness shift with zealous nature to allow our human anatomy to flourish. Schedules of the circadian rhythm function differently for everyone yet, is an important part of functioning for the human anatomy/mind. For the average person, however, the cycles we go through usually speak for a sleep rotation. But sometimes, even with these measured rituals, we find ourselves at a loss when we realize how fragile our circadian rhythm can be, caused by "insomnia," " jet-lag, " or even "weekend-lag."
Circadian rhythms are part of the daily lives of humans. They cue our levels of alertness, our need for sleep, and our time of waking. To better understand these rhythms, scientists from around the globe have participated in difficult research for years. As of yet, the research shows that light, hormones, exercise, age, and a variety of other factors are important in determining circadian rhythms. Perhaps in the future, scientists will be able to manipulate circadian rhythms so that people no longer feel fatigue. By then, maybe Tomas Izquierdo could finally get some long overdue sleep.
One rather beautiful day I head down to the building fields of Uruk with my only son Urnabe. He is 14 and he is turning out to be a skilled mason or at least better than his old man. When we get there I see that Binfem was already waiting for me.
The one area we haven’t really discussed in detail is the amount of negative space on your walls. Not only do you need to be able to see the wall from floor to ceiling on as much of the wall area as you can, but also you need to be able to see wall space between the pieces that you have hanging. Keep a minimum of four feet of space between large pieces and limit the amount of small pieces you hang. Do not use small pieces as a way to fill in negative space. Negative space is the exact thing you are trying to achieve. You can hang a few small pictures together in a small and tight gallery style. This will allow you to display your favorite family photos without taking up negative space on the walls.
Although the Stanford Sleepiness Scale was the most interesting to analyze, the weeklong sleep diary allowed me to see aspects that the “Alertness Test” did not. The two biggest pieces were the effects of the program on my sleep latency and the negative impact alcohol has on sleep. First, it was one of my goals to improve my sleep latency, as during the 4 weeks of the sleep diary, my sleep latency was typically 15 minutes (higher during stressful days ex/basketball games). In order to allow for the sleep latency to decrease during emotional times, I decided to implement a 15-minute routine before I went to bed. Without a doubt, the part of the routine that was the most beneficial was turning my phone to airplane mode. Like many college students,
For the purpose of this research study to review the continuality of hitting the snooze button after the alarm goes off can cause issues in sleeping patterns and the drive to get up from the bed to begin a virtuous morning. The goal within the target behavior of excessively hitting the snooze button too much is to limit the number of times the snooze button is pressed to about half of the individual’s baseline average. Many issues of excessively hitting the snooze button can be a cause of lack of sleep the prior night, this can be a vast issue for many individuals that are in need of an extra couple of minutes to sleep in order for them to be fully assured that they are able to get out of bed fully rested. I have a few proposed treatments that can be a huge factor that may actually change the way the individual sleep and gives the individual an opportunity to cut the baseline average in half then eventually have the possibility to totally modify that behavior.
Throughout my entire writing career I have always had difficulty writing. For one I have never enjoyed it because I am usually not interested in the topic. I also seem to get writers block half way thru whenever I write a paper. My final big problem with writing is that I always procrastinate before I have a paper due. My main problems with writing are procrastinating and having writers block.
One way Apple Watch and Fitbit help us to stay healthy is by tracking sleep patterns. On average, an adult should sleep between seven and nine hours every night. If a person doesn’t get the correct amount of sleep it can directly affect their mental and physical health. Sometimes it can be hard to

On week days I tend to be in bed around 11:00pm and plan to be asleep by midnight. Falling asleep by midnight is usually accomplished on each weeknight, with an occasional late night study session. I am fortunate enough to be able to sleep later than I have been in past semesters. We have not had our usual 6:00am morning team lifting for crew and I do not have many early classes. It is not difficult for me to wake up once I hear my alarm in the morning. When I know I have something to complete or somewhere to be I am able to jump right out of bed and get ready. While filling out my Stanford Sleepiness rating times, I was able to give myself scores bet...
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
The negative aspect of my physical health is my sleeping patterns. 8 hours of sleep for me is not consistent, especially when I have many school assessments and tutoring lessons outside of school. Managing school assessments, piano tutorials and theory, sport, tutoring and outside of school activities can be quite stressful.
