On school days, it seems that sleep is a luxury most times. Homework, classwork, projects, and quizzes and tests make up a significant portion of my time after school along with extracurricular activities such as clubs, music, and fun programs. Because of all these various considerations, it is quite difficult to have the average 8 hours needed for a good night's rest. Heck, I would be lucky if I had 6 hours to be honest. However, if I took a power nap after school or slept earlier, necessary time normally given to school work would be lost, and therefore, there would be no work done, unecessary stress would increase, and my class grades would be compromised, which is not an option. Because of these reasons, I normally say to myself that sleep is for the weak.
But is it?
The very thought of sleeping is, by itself, a very appealing proposition. It relieves stress, makes myself recover from a long day's school day, and eases my anxiety for future classes. Throughout my high school experience, almost every single day I have attempted finish my work before sleeping. I have tried and tried and tried to keep up with this example for the past 3 years. Unfortunately, Master Yoda's teaching still holds today. "Do or Do Not. There is no try." This is because I have chosen to wake up earlier and do homework. Even though sleeping takes away time from the work needed for classes, sleeping and waking up earlier to do work seems much better and more likely chance than finishing all work before sleeping. Another additional point that I have personally observed is that whenever I wake up, I am more active to finish my school work than I was in the night......Maybe sleep is the cure for all the time lost. Maybe I am wrong.
