Narcolepsy

          "Science Daily" published an article in October 2010 recording and informing about a new discovery about sleeping disorders. Scientists have come to realize that sleeping problems are not influenced only by your neviornment but by ypur genes. This gene that some people carry is the cause for Narcolepsy. This desease makes itharder for people to be able to sleep. Narcolepsy is a disorder in which if you get too excited or altered your brain immediately shut down. I think that this article is very interesting because it informs people that it is not only the enviornemt but how you are bron with that causes trouble durnig some people's sleep. this article should show people that they shou;dnt complain about having too little time to sleep but be thankful that they are healthy and have the ability to have a good night sleep while others cant.

30 more minutes of sleep Make a difference

            Science Daily published an article in July 2010 about teenager’s sleep and how they are affected daily. The studies have proven that lack of sleep cause mood changes, fatigue and daytime sleepiness. In order to conduct the studies they asked diverse schools in Rhode Island to delay that starting school hour fro just half an hour. The results they got from this time change was that the teenagers had a better mood and they went through the day in school better and with less fatigue. I think that this article is also good but I think that half an hour doesn’t make much difference but it does help. I think that an hour would be much better because it is more sleep than what they would usually get with all the studying. I think this system should be applied in schools all around the world.

Teens Need MORE Sleep!

A Science Daily article which was published in the year 2008 stated that students were having daily life troubles because of having too little time to sleep. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine began a research in the year of 2007 to see whether students had a hard time in school for sleeping or if it was for other reasons. The major part said it was because of lack of sleep. In the year of 2008 schools changes their schedule and started one hour later than the usual. The academy of sleep medicine made another survey in 2008 and what they found this time was that the teenagers had an easier time during school and they were more rested. I think that this article is really good because it shows the people how sleep influences teenager’s lives and how they affect our school work. I think that parents and teachers should consider this and think about how hard we work and the amount of sleep we need is not being slept because of too much homework or our parents wanting us to wake up early.
