Good sleep is vital for good physical mental and emotional health – but unfortunately we seem to live in a society that has forgotten this fact. In terms of healthy living, sleep is as important as good diet and exercise. Source: Time to ‘reclaim the night’ for sleep
Since the beginning of the new year, I can only recall 2 or 3 instances where I stayed up past midnight. Gone are the dreadful days of all-nighers.
This has led me to derive the following relationships:
Δ[Sleep] = Δ[Well-being]
My personal experience leads me to conclude that:
↑ Sleep = ↑ Grades + ↑ Physical & Emotional Well-being
↓ Sleep = ↓ Grades + ↓ Immune System + ↓ Fitness + ↓ Neurons + ↑ Loathing + ↑ Negative Thinking
Solution?
∴ ↑ Sleep
It is, indeed, about time we reclaimed the night for sleep.
Great observation. On that note…good night.
Couldn’t agree more. I slept from 9:30 – 5 last night. Best sleep I’ve had in ages. Plus… the halls are amazingly peaceful at that time of the morning!
Eastwood, where DID you find such a collection of e-texts?
9:30 — 5? I wish I could do that… nothing beats sleeping in and waking up to the start of a productive day.
As for the texts.. the internet is an amazing place. Nothing beats a 1.0 MB/s resnet connection
I couldn’t agree more. I try to go to bed early, but my jerky roommate..like..MUST watch the colbert report and the daily show at maximum volume for some reason. Hence, I’m usually kept up until 1-ish :p
Can’t blame them — after all, it is the Colbert Report we’re talking here
Hey logical inferences! We’re doing that in the course you dropped =P
Going to sleep now, night!
Logical whoa? (Having a bon time here instead with the lac Operon)
Phoebe going to sleep at 8? Is this really happening?
Haha yes it is! I didn’t have enough sleep the night before and needed to maybe stay up a bit late TONIGHT… so, counterproductive possibly =P
Aren’t threaded comments just wonderful?
I just had a bio exam from 7 – 8:30 — my brain is fried! Sooo stressing out over accounting tomorrow
You should obtain some values, plot them on a graph, and determine the slope. Potential for Nobel Prize? What are your plans for reading break?
Your comment ended up getting filtered as spam — thanks for using a fake emali!
Wait for it… this is getting published in month’s time after I further explore the scientific validity of my null hypothesis. If I win the Novel Prize, we’ll split it.
Plans? Accounting (exam after the break), saxophone, swimming…etc. Yours?
Nice new layout
Thanks! The other one was becoming a bit of an eyesore.
I agree with everything… question is how? If you have over 16 hours of things to do in a day, how do you get a solid 8 hours of sleep?
Also how do you keep sleep regular. I find that some mornings I am useless. So it would be better to sleep then. However, some evenings I am unproductive, so I sleep early and wake up early?
P.S. nice new theme… only free one on the premium theme site eh?
My guess is that once you get enough sleep, you can work 2x as efficiently — positive feedback! Once you manage to do so, you’ll feel less useless in the morning.
Yup, this one’s free but totally beats the WP theme directory ones.
I like this kind of reading,
thanks for your blog,my rss reader like it
You’re missing one thing…
H = health
t = time in hours; t >= 24
S(t) = sleep
H = lim(t–>24)S(t) = 0
Too much sleep is bad for your health too
We need a 95% confidence test for that!
We need more replicates for accurate stats!
XD
But I myself can’t provide any
lol
LOL. This is a nice way of letting students realize the importance of sleep. At any point, I agree. We need to sleep because this is the only time our body resets its function and regain homeostasis.
It is fun to read your blog..
