Learning Challenge: Sleep is important

H.E.A.R.T Video: Web


I knew that sleep was really important for more than one reason, I just was not sure what exactly the reason's were. I also knew that there was negative effect from not getting enough sleep but I did not know that it could potentially be a reason for death or even obesity. I was really surprised to hear that it effects obesity, but it does make sense. A person who is more awake is more likely to eat more. I want to know how many days a person can go without sleeping and still be alive. I will look up if anyone had researched this and has a educated guess on how many days it would be.

    I am so glad you watched this sleep video, Pranali: there was just a new article about the powers of sleep that I read in the New York Times this weekend that I am going to add to the list of articles to read. I am a BIG believer in sleep myself, and now when my husband teases me about sleeping too much (he barely sleeps at all compared to me!), I can tell him it is for my health, and I can cite evidence too. :-)

Introduction: A little about me

Hello everyone, my major is Psychology. I want to do my masters in Speech-Language Pathology. After I finish with college, I want to be a Speech Therapist. I also want to move to Texas in the future, I know what you are thinking, boo Texas, but I will still always be a Sooner.

My biggest accomplishment last year was figuring out what exactly I wanted to do after I graduate and what I am passionate about which had been a constant struggle for me. This summer I took a trip to Chicago with my sister, it was great exploring a new city. I really enjoy traveling and going to different places. My goal is to visit all 50 states one day, I am almost half way there which is exciting. My favorite  T.V.  show is Friends, just like every other person out there. I enjoy all types of movies but comedy would probably be my favorite. Bollywood movies are also my favorite, they are very different from American movi...

Week 9, Kunti's wishes

There once was a little girl, Kunti, who was extremely sad. She was sad because she never got anything she wanted even after working so hard for it.

She was asking out of greed.  One night she is laying in bed next to her sister and just thinking about why she can’t get a job even after she had applied to so many places.  Kunti closes her eyes and prays “ God, why do you put me through so much even after I do good deeds?”  God replies, “ I am only teaching you things that will help you in your future. I am not punishing you my child. Just wait a little more time and your wishes will come true”  Kunti thought to herself “this gives me hope. I have been waiting so long for a job so I can life properly with my sister”  Kunti and her sister have been on there own for the past five years due to the loss of their parents in a car accident. At th...
