Re: Are you getting enough sleep?

I agree with the author of this original post. College students do not get enough sleep. I tend to think I have a quasi-healthy sleeping pattern but I know this isn't true. It's been said that on average an adult should get about 8 hours of sleep. I fail every night generally getting around 7 hours or less. This causes me to not only be tired all day but I waste a lot of time trying to take naps here and there. I have a 9am class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. When I get back to my room at 10am instead of doing some work, or reading the news, going back to bed for a hour trumps everything. Then its up and off to lunch and classes. So during the week my sleep patterns are generally not the best. But weeks instead of catching up on sleep I do more damage to my sleeping habits. Theres been Fridays where I got up at 9am for class and didn't go to bed until 4am Saturday. Thats a 19 hours day. Then being a typical college student, homework gets pushed back to Sundays. Its an endless cycle of little bits of sleep here and there. I can not wait until spring break so I can go home and waste away a week in bed. Original Post at: http://wkyu816.blogspot.com/
