Introduction
The
report will consist of the research background including how different research
explains this phenomenon. Then it will highlight the benefits related to
sleeping which will have a lot of impact on health, performance, success etc. Some
research questions will be developed for getting the results. This report is
very important in a sense because sleeping is the most essential part of human
life and many things get disturbed due to bad sleep. Finally, a proposal can be
developed for this report.
Research Background
Sleeping
has a very vital role in the life of human beings. Those who do not have the
proper sleep may face sleepiness in the daytime and the rate of Alzheimer’s
disease has been increased. Some researchers linked the sleep with two
different factors as individual performance and task productivity. Lack of
proper sleep has a negative impact on academic performances (Chiang, 2013) . According to a research, lack of sleep
affects their memory, attention, academic performance and problem solving
abilities. Developing the habits of study, dealing with stress and managing
time are very essential for getting success. For all these things, it is very
essential to take a proper sleep. It is very important for the students of
college to sleep in a proper way. Better sleep will help students to be
effective, get good grades, manage their health and study in an efficient
manner. It is required for an average
person to sleep at least 7 to 9 hours every night (John, 2015) .
It is essential to go to bed daily at the same time and then get up at the same
time provides a good health.
The
history of sleep has been traced back from 19th century. According
to the America’s poll, the adults sleep for around 7 hours daily in the night.
This rate is increasing since 19th century and added 2 hours in the
daily night sleep. Sleeping has become an issue and students have a great
impact of sleep. Sleep deprivation is known as the sleep loss (Chiang, 2013) . According to a
research in 2009, McKenna and Drummond say “sleep deprivation in humans can be
broadly classified into three categories: total sleep deprivation, partial
sleep deprivation, and sleep fragmentation” (Chiang, 2013) . Many researchers have identified the
sleep deprivation in 3 sections as long term, partial and short term. Long term
sleep deprivation means did not sleep in last 45 hours, partial sleep
deprivation means slept less than 5 hours in a day and short term sleep
deprivation means continuously up from last 45 hours. Previous studies suggest
that location of sleep matters a lot. Sleeping at a same place where students
are studying is not a good idea, they need to change their place (John, 2015) . When people take a nap
between their work so it will rejuvenate them to get back to things, a nap for
an hour lets them have a cognitive memory which has a positive effect on
leaning. Those who take naps for around 90 mins so it has a complete sleep
cycle and leads to the creativity in terms of procedural memory and emotions (John, 2015) .
Benefit of sleeping
There
are many benefits of sleeping for studies as described below:
1. Good health
It
does not mean at all that proper sleep will keep people away from diseases but
it has been proved by the researches that inappropriate sleep can cause serious
impact on health as heart attacks, obesity, heart diseases and diabetes (Griffin, 2014) .
2. Better Mood
Without
the proper sleep, individuals get exhausted a lot and they feel cranky. This
will lead to the bad mood which will have a very drastic emotional impact on
others as well (Griffin, 2014) . They treat their fellows in a very bad
way because of their bad moods.
3. Better and safe driver
It
is very essential to have a proper sleep before driving a car. Otherwise a lot
of serious injuries can be taken place. Around 100,000 crashes are being done
every year with around 1500 deaths because of drowsy driving. 20% of injuries
takes place when the driver is sleepy (Loria , 2014) .
4. Healthier skin
With
other disorders, sleeping poorly is linked with the dangerous skin conditions.
On the basis of many researches depression, chronic skin issues, anxiety and
poor sleep go together. A study has been published in Experimental and Clinical
Dermatology suggests that Good Sleepers are better after receiving ultraviolet
exposures (Loria , 2014) . The aging signs are low among them.
5. Healthier heart
In
humans the system of cardiovascular is continuously under pressure and due to
proper sleep the stress level and inflammation in the body has been decreased.
Sleep helps in keeping the level of cholesterol and blood pressure in limits (Ballinger, 2012) .
6. Enhanced memory
The
feeling which is foggy in nature makes it difficult for people to concentrate.
This results in the loss of memory with faces, conversation, facts and lessons.
By taking enough sleep, these difficulties can be overcome and brain can
organize and correlate with the memories (Ballinger, 2012) . The biggest advantage is that it
allows the brain to work in a more proper way by new knowledge and experiences
which helps in increasing the level of retention and understanding.
7. Low chances of diabetes
On
the basis of a research, the improper sleep leads to the type 2 diabetes. This
has an impact on the glucose process of a body. The sleep medicine division
shows that a healthy group of people have a very low duration of sleep which
varies from 8 to 4 hours per night. These type of people produce glucose slowly(Chiang, 2013) . According to
another research, those who sleep less than 5 hours daily have a high risk of
having diabetes.
Proposal for Research
The
topic of this research is the benefits of sleep as it has an impact on each and
every activity of human life. It is very necessary for them to have a proper
sleep as this will help them in understanding things more and becoming more
successful. It is very important for humans to know about the benefits of sleep.
This research will help them in understanding more about its benefits and their
impact on other things. Many people do not take sleep disorder as serious. The
research questions will help in clarifying the research more and summarize the
findings. The concept of sleeping is changing these days. People sleep for the
whole day and up for nights and then they consider it as a proper sleep. But
proper sleep means to sleep at nights for around 6 to 8 hours daily.
