NOT GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP?

-

Every day we work hard in order to provide our family especially the basic needs. We work hard until we almost forget our time to sleep because we wanted to finish things for the deadlines. Hence, we have lack of sleep.

 

Sleep is a natural process that has been with us since mankind began (https://vt.tiktok.com/ZScFttFc/). However, this natural process is severely disrupted by our modern day lifestyle. According to @Sgsupernanny in her TikTok account, when Thomas Edison  created the lightbulb, the natural process of sleep is disrupted. She further said, that we can now keep working, playing, and entertaining ourselves. Thus, we do not give priority to our sleep anymore. Our body clock, the circadian rhythm,  will be disrupted if we don’t go back to the nature.

 

What are the effects of lack of sleep? @Sgsupernanny said that lack of sleep can lead to increase chances of death by 20% in 20 years; can increase the risk of developing cancer by 200%; can increase the risk of people developing heart diseases by 100% for those who sleep less than 7 hours daily; and lack of sleep can lead to obesity.

 

For me, she is right. Our mood changes when we have lack of sleep. Accidents may likely to happen if don’t sleep. We could not concentrate well if don’t sleep at exactly 7 to 9 hours of sleep a day. We are haggard-looking, thereby loosing the image of being fresh.

 

So, we need enough sleep. For sleeping is one way of strengthening our immune system.

At grade five, I won in a raffle draw sponsored by the Coca-Cola in the amount of three thousand five hundred pesos (Php. 3,500.00). I was amazed to receive the said money. For me, it’s already a big money for new shoes and clothes. Winning is really what I want. I want to win in the battle always and making myself excel from others. Those situations make me happy! When I received me...

PASSING THE BAR

I Trust…             I Prayed…                         I Studied…                                     I Passed it!!! Passing the bar examination for me is a tough battle. You cannot take the Bar examination unless you finished the Four (4) year course of Bachelor of Laws or the Juris Doctor. In my case, I am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education (BSAgEd) major in Teaching Agriculture in Elementary Schools at Leyte State University now known as the Visayas State University at Visca, Baybay, Leyte. I did not have a very wide background in the Laws of the Republic of the Philippines. I remember that I only studied th...

THE CROSS

I wrote this chapter during Good Friday. My younger brother and I went to church at 3 PM and I was honestly amazed of the rituals or let us say the procedure of the liturgical celebration. It was my first time for my entire 27 years in this world to experience the said celebration. I was so shocked! Why? Because it was the first time that I attended a celebration where there was no entrance song. It started when everybody kneels. When the priests, the lay ministers, the psalmists, and the knights of the altar reached at the altar, they sat, then bent and kissed the floor for a minute or two. I also observed that the center of the celebration is the cross, giving respect with the cross as a symbol of our salvation.         I was reminded with the cross of our LORD.  Indeed the cross that was carried by Jesus Christ was too heavy. I imagine if I was the one carrying that load I might say, “Oh, no!!!” One, two , three or four steps… I am sure...
