Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying

By Katrina Schwartz
  • One thing that I already knew about sleep was that it is important to your mental health. But, it is very challenging to get the right about of sleep every night.
  • One new thing that I learned while reading this article was that many children are facing serious sleep derivation issues. This is affects test scores around the country. The study conducted was to see what happens with a child is able to properly rest. By sleeping, children are able to retain and recall more information.
  • One thing that this article has inspired me to do is to stop cramming. By cramming in essays or projects at the last minute, I am not able to sleep overnight. This leads to my work not having as good of quality and my personality changes depending on how tired I am.

But, when I first studied abroad, I wanted to take the time to learn what I wanted to do and what makes me happy. This drive helped me to...

Once upon a time, there was a prince that ruled over all of the lands. He was seen as a kind and fair prince. But underneath his exterior, he was a vile man.   He would pick new laws that would only benefit him. The people did not know his true personality. One day, there was a big storm that hit the town that he lives in. Usually, rain would not be a problem. On this particular day, the prince was taking a stroll by the river. Suddenly he fell in. His staff could not catch him in time. He began to float down the river. Not long after being in the water, the prince found a log. As he floated downstream, 3 rabbits got on the log too. A couple of villages down, there was a poor man that had a shack on the side of the river. He did not have a job or a proper house. He was just surviving. When he walked outside, he heard screaming. “HELP US!!,” they shouted. Immediately, the man ran to save everyone stranded in the river. Luckily, they made it all to shore. But because they were...
