Something that was very interesting to me was the research on the sleep patterns of college students. What was interesting was how closely it correlated to me in the past few weeks. The mean times that the Forquer reported in her studies were 12:24 on the weekdays, and 1:54 on the weekends. I definitely fall asleep two to three hours earlier on the weekdays. The study also reported that 33% of students took more than 30 minutes to fall asleep. This is a huge problem for me as well. Sometimes it'll take me longer than an hour to fall asleep. It can be very frustrating and stressful. Something that would be very interesting would be research on the correlation between students' sleep patterns and their grades.

Have you personally noticed a correlation between the amount of sleep you get and your grades? Also Why do you think that even though teens can be sleep deprived, they are still taking over the average amoung of time someone falls asleep?

ReplyDeleteThat's probably pretty close to my average sleeping times. If anything, I stay up later than that sometimes! But most of the time I struggle with falling asleep quickly, too.
