Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired The Effects of College Sleeplessness

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired The Effects of College Sleeplessness The only differences between myself and this picture was that I am a girl and I own a Mac. Third, my physical appearance drastically changed from each night to each morning according to how long I had slept and where I had slept. After my “best” night of sleep, I awoke, eyes glued together with rheum, lips severely chapped and hair disheveled. I felt not refreshed, but angry that five hours of sleep had done absolutely nothing for me. On a different night, I fell asleep at a table on top of an assignment and awoke the next morning with purple eyes, a sallow face, and the shakes from sleeping in the cold common room. Another quite interesting side effect of my sleep-deprived week was my obviously fluctuating weight. My eating habits and appetite became sporadic and my weight differed by a number of pounds every day. By Friday, I was sick of this. Performing in class, at rowing, and just going along in daily life was becoming nearly impossible â€" I needed to do nothing. I made sure I had no plans last night, and I slept for approximately eleven hours. I woke up this morning feeling better than I have since I entered college a month ago, and my outlook on the rest of my college career has been drastically altered. Not sleeping is not fun! Both your body and mind suffer from missing out on the sweet stasis of slumber. Dont you wish your sleep was THIS peaceful?
