Sleep

Sleep is what everyone needs and can't live without. Although it seems that many people rarely get enough of it. I know that people are able to choose when they can go to bed, but it doesn't help if you're lying in bed and you can't fall asleep. So you spent an hour or two tossing and turning, and that hour or two that you spent tossing and turning could've been used for something else. Although when we, college kids and many teenagers, feel tired its already very late and many times we have to wake up the next day early. Never allowing anyone suffiecent sleep.

Take me for example, since I've got to college I've been staying up to about 3-4am and having to wake up sometime in the morning. I could go to sleep early, but I just end up not sleeping for a long while and when I do finally fall asleep its already 3amish. So I could've just stayed up and not have to toss and turn in bed.

Anyways, people rarely get enough sleep so that they do not feel tired the next day. Naps can only help so much, since the nap helps to rejuvenate one for a while, but it wears off. According to statistics and stuff it seems that people need at least 7-8 hours of sleep. However, I don't think that this is enough sleep for college kids and teenagers. I think we need at least 10 hours of sleep so we don't feel tired during the day. So during times when there's no school everyone sleeps for hours on end. This does well to help keep people from being tired. Although the only conseqence of this is that most of the day is lost when one sleeps for so long. Anyways people need more sleep, but the circumstances never allow for people to get enough of it. So people are almost always tired during the day.
