Teens have a internal clock that causes you to feel more alert at night and wake up later in the morning. This makes it difficult to go to bed at a decent time and wake up feeling refreshed. Dr. Mindell the director of the Graduate Program in Psychology at Saint Joseph’s University says “sending students to school without enough sleep is like sending them to school with breakfast. Sleep serves not only a restorative function for adolescent’s bodies and brains, but it is also a key time when they process what they’ve learned during the day.” It is also important for teens to have a consistent sleep schedule throughout the week. Surveys show that teens rely on naps to make them more refreshed.
By the age of 6 months a circadian rhythm is established and by the age of 1 year infants are usually sleeping mainly at night, with 1 or 2 naps during the day. The periods of deep sleep lengthen and there is a reduction in the amounts of active/REM sleep. Sleep patterns change during childhood and by the age of 5, children have EEG patterns that look like those of an adult but they are still sleeping more (around 12 hours a day) and having more REM activity (about 30% of total sleep time). Boys are also found to sleep slightly more than girls. As childhood progresses, the need for sleep decreases, but in adolescence it increases slightly, to around 9 or 10 hours a night.
This included aches and pains, constant worry and he often dwelled on negative thoughts. He would constantly turn things over in his mind, becoming irritable, and full of anxiety.

She talked about what a smart and out spoken man her father was, and a person that her family had always looked up to, she saw the life and the goodness that her father had in him starting to fade away at the end. It got to a point where he could not read or even do something that he likes doing and that was cross word puzzles. Susan went threw a lot of medical treatment that with her father that I would have done to. That is one out of a million people that stuck by her father the way she did.

Didion (1994) stated, ““Three, four, maybe five times a month, I spend the day in bed with a migraine headache, insensible to the world around me(para. 1).” Immediately I am put in Didion shoes being a victim myself of another kind of headache issue myself. The use of Pathos is quite clear within the first sentence not to let alone this entire essay. Didion (1994) stated, “It was a long time before I began mechanistically enough to accept migraine for what it was: something with which I would be living, the way people live with diabetes(para. 3).” This statement grasps at many readers roots as most of us either know someone with or have diabetes.
Not everybody on welfare is a lazy, promiscuous parasite. Take for example a family of five, where both the mother and father work forty hours a week, but collect food stamps. A single father of three, whose job search has become long and unsuccessful, gets welfare. A disabled single mother of one, who has been laid off for 3 months, also gets welfare. None of the examples I have used are people who are lazy, just sitting at home waiting for the government to fill up their EBT card, and promiscuous, just having more babies with the idea that the government will help take care of them.
However stuffing information into your brain takes time, which is taken up by being in school and other activities. By staying up late studying, we compensate for those lost hours and get a leg up on the students who didn’t stay up. Or so we think… In a study done by Pilcher and Walters, 44 college students were placed into either a sleep deprived, or non-sleep deprived group and allowed to sleep and wake up at certain time during the three-day experiment. After the three days were up, each group took a series of tests and questionnaires. When asked how they thought they did, the sleep deprived group reported to have had a higher level of concentration and an increased level of effort.
A New Age Civil War Imagine an innocent child, waiting years to be brought home and held by parents that love and care for them. Finally, two perfect people are interested in bringing this child home, to raise them and care for them as their own flesh and blood. But this dream is frozen in time as it cannot be simply because the two perfect people happen to be of the same sex. The child continues to wait. There are thousands of children sedentary in the adoption system, waiting for parents to come along to save them from the vicious cycle of foster houses and orphanages and take them home for their well-deserved happy ending.
