suddenly, i dont feel like doing anything. just plain bored.

blog hopping and much more...
so being the lifeless me, i wiki-ied [sleep deprivation].
cuz i really really want to try to sleep early as much as possible.
i really hate to sleep late now. and my late is 2am, 3am which most of you will be dreaming already.
i felt the difference between a long sleep and a short sleep comparing during the hols and school days. and i must say, there IS a very very big dfference. the worst you can feel is when you have 5-6 hours of sleep. there'll be a part of the day where your heart will feel extremely down and heavy literally. wheras 4-3 hours, your body will think it's a nap.

anyway...

In the United States, and in many
other countries, sleep deprivation is common among students. School-aged
children should be getting between 8.5 and 9.25 hours of sleep[29]
but many do not. A National Sleep
Foundation survey found that college/university-aged students get an average
of 6.8 hours of sleep each night.[30]
Sleep deprivation is common in college freshmen as they adjust to the
stress and social activities of college life. A study performed by the
Department of Psychology at the National
Chung Cheng University in Taiwan concluded that freshmen received the
shortest amount of sleep during the week.[31].
Students get more sleep each night in the summer than during the school year,[32]
and one in four U.S. high school students admit to falling asleep in class at
least once a week.[33].
Research has indicated that teenage children have a variation in their circadian cycle that
delays sleep past the normal time for adults. Since school schedules are based
around the adult workday, it is not surprising that students have difficulty
obtaining adequate sleep.[citation

Minnesota did research that compared students who went to school at 7:15
a.m. and those who went to school at 8:40 a.m. They found that students who went
to school at 8:40 got higher grades and more sleep on the weekdays.[11]
