Sleep deprivation among student

Introduction

After taking tasks, no matter what grades the students may achieve, they should be relaxed and enjoy themselves. To amuse everyone, pupils often organize activities such as going to camp or having a home party for fun. However, when weekend ends and everything goes silently, some of the students seem to become chronic and acute. As a Hedging, the young learners are lost in sleepy world. The sleep deprivation is a condition of lacking sleep and cause increased alertness and enhanced state [1]. Sleep deprivation turn world more dangerous for us [2]. This report will mainly introduce the reasons causing deep deprivation and some useful solutions specific to students.

Situation

We can learn that a sleepless night can drive us cranky. Yet, sleep deprivation has the other effects far more serious than a short temper [3]. Due to sleep deprivation, the learners act badly in class, they behave very passively to achieve new knowledge. The worst thing is that a sleep-restricted condition can lead to young adults’ weight loss, weight gain or daytime sleepiness. It adversely has an effect on brains [1]. The young learners become so weak because of lacking sleep, which reduces the efficiency in class. If they can not receive enough knowledge in class, they may fail in the exams. Next, the make-up examination and grade come. The terrible outcome can bring some registrants endless sleep deprivation. Also, the problem is not just occurred on our learning time. Even in the basketball ground or football field, it also happens. They may have very bad states because sleep deprivation spares their attention. Athletes are too tired to focus on their matches so that many mistakes take up. This bad action will just leave a bad expressive on others.

Problem

As a result of the issue discussed above, the key to the problem is control. After all, temptations are everywhere. The hard study can lead to sleep deprivation. The students are likely to enjoy themselves on the daytime. Registrants may play computer games the whole night. They are lost in game’s world and keep playing them. Finally, they are trapped in trouble and can not withdraw it. As well as the deadline is coming, they find they still have many things, they go crazy. In addition, some other possibilities are that some young adults have their own night life; the night birds live in the KTV or bars. In these places, people lose their senses of clock. The worst thing is that this action will break the balance of the biological clock. It means the students may spend trouble or treble time adjusting their biological clock. So they have to do too much things at night to avoid bad time the next day. The problems are various but all of problems caused by the learners’ bad self control. They can not control themselves well. In a word, these people lack the competence to manage themselves.

Solution

The first solution the problem is to set a timetable. The timetable can rule our lives efficiently. In fact, not everyone can deal with their affairs well. They seem to miss or mix the terrible things. A great timetable can order everything well-organized. It can remind someone of the important events to avoid missing them. Another commonly proposed solution to this problem is to ask tutor for help. Because tutor is very experienced, they can give young learners some useful guidance. When learners are being in trouble and mass, they can turn to experienced tutor. Under the professional and official advice, everything may turn right.

In addition to set a timetable and ask your tutor for help, there is another possible solution which is to find a fellow student to direct. As fellow students, they seem to give the fittest advice to beginners. Fellow learners have experienced the same lessons that inexperienced students are getting, as well as the difficulty. The experienced students can guide beginners as a view of students. After long-term direction, beginners are likely to make friends with their fellow students and work as a team.

Evaluation

To set a timetable would encourage young learners to do everything ordered, asking tutor for help contribute to getting the most official guidance and find a fellow student enable beginners to work as a team and learn more. Nevertheless, it is not easy for everyone to set a timetable, because learners need to forecast the time of every subject used. Unless you 're reducing yourself sleep time right now. If so, turn off your computer and read on a bad impact caused by sleep deprivation on your mind and body [3]. Next, control is necessary. If students lack control, the timetable will be of limited use. Asking tutor for help also has its disadvantages. Sometimes the tutors’ requests are strict; students have difficulty in taking them hedging. When students have their own things, they may not have enough time to finish all affairs. While finding a fellow student, beginners may also come across some problems. The man who has disadvantages too, and the decisions made by fellow students would have effects on the inexperienced students. Next, everyone has their own styles. The fellow students’ ways could not fit to everyone. Yet, setting a timetable needs skills; its advantages outweigh its drawbacks because learners could train their competence of control through setting a timetable. Students would become more ordered and organized. So, setting a timetable may be an efficient solution to solve the problem.

Conclusion

To sum up, what causes sleep deprivation most is the hard work. Next, lacking control will have a bad effect. If young learners can set a timetable, it would help them rule themselves. In addition, setting a timetable itself can affect students to become an ordered man. Therefore, students are more likely to turn to an experienced student. Provided with a useful timetable, learners may dispose of sleep deprivation in the end.
