Sleep

Hello! And this is my blog that I will be updating around ten times throughout the year and I will be discussing the importance of sleep, how it could affect your lives, problems related to sleep and many other things.

First off, sleep is something that should occur with anything that has a brain. Sleep is something that happens when the creature would go into a state of rest when it has been relaxed enough whether it is deep sleep or not. The act of sleeping would differentiate depending on the species because we humans wouldn't sleep the same way a whale would sleep. Since a whale would normally be underwater, they would need to either be in an idle position, horizontally or vertically or they can end up being asleep and swimming slowly at the same time, meaning they would be what one would say, being ''half asleep''. That is pretty cool considering they're sleeping AND swimming at the SAME time, while watching their surroundings. Crazy, right!?

How one should look while sleeping

We all know that sleep is essential so we can function in our everyday life. Without sleep, we would become very fatigued/tired, depending on how long we've been awake from the last time we've been rested. Additionally, with the lack of sleep, we'll become less focused and will have the desire of wanting to sleep, which would lead to oversleeping. I would know this because I'm someone that always forgets how to do things that I've learned before very frequently and very easily, meaning the days before an evaluation, I would need to relearn everything from scratch. So, I would end up needing to sacrifice some of my already limited resting time. Therefor, I know first-hand how it feels to not have enough sleep and how it can impact ones life. While I was doing my evaluations, I always had the desire to sleep, which would lead to oversleeping and when I got home, I would always sleep more than I would normally(which is about 15 hours). I know, not healthy. But it feels so nice after waking up after a long sleep.

Well, since this is my introductory post, I will not really go in depth with my current post and will save that for later. Since sleep can't really be defined in ''my'' own opinion, I decided that I would split my posts into two parts. The first being that it will be about certain topics of sleep itself and the second being what I think of it and maybe including my personal point of view of the idea.

I would like to inform you, the readers, that this blog will be based on my opinions, with the help of facts to help you the readers, know more on the subject of sleep. I chose the topic of sleep because I found it interesting and it is a subject that impacts the every day life and could maybe change your sleep schedule to something more appropriate/healthy.

Since this is a blog, I would appreciate that you would express your own opinion in the comment section below to give me your feedback, and I hope that you will also enjoy my posts to come.  Have a great day!
