Irregular Sleep Pattern
One of the causes of
amnesia among students is irregular sleep schedule. Most of student have
experienced trouble sleeping at one time or another.
Most people go to bed at
night and sleep until morning. People with irregular sleep-wake syndrome
experience disrupted sleep that is often unstructured and broken. According to
the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this syndrome is very uncommon (NIH,
2010).
From the observation,53.3%
of students state that they always having a irregular sleep schedule. 20% of
student said never & 26.67% had rarely. Its an operant conditioning. It was
because students become stress to fulfil their demand in study fields. The
results is the muscle become stress, blood pressure rises, heartbeat goes up,
overthinking and over pressure.
People with irregular sleep-wake syndrome
usually sleep one to four hours at a time. They have several sleep sessions in
a 24-hour period. The longest period of continuous sleep is typically between
the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. (Zee & Vitiello, 2009).
People with irregular
sleep-wake syndrome are not considered sleep-deprived. They get an adequate
amount of sleep. However, it is spread over a 24-hour period rather than
concentrated into seven or eight hours. People with this condition have
problems with both insomnia and excessive sleepiness during the day.
Many among college and
university students suffer from amnesia because they are more awake during the
night to complete the task and its impact on their sleep time has changed. They
are active at night and feeling tired and sleepy during the day.
This is normal and
usually temporary, due to stress or other outside factors. But if sleep
problems are a regular occurrence and interfere with daily life, it may be suffering from a sleep
disorder. Sleep disorders cause more than just sleepiness. The lack of quality
sleep can have a negative impact on energy, emotional balance, and health.
Many factors affect sleep
patterns among students. For example, some students choose to play online games
than to study. Because playing online games more appealing to them and also
play online games can be addictive to keep playing. Other factors such as
social networking, they are every night like status updates on twitter or facebook
often lose track of time. Without them knowing it can make their sleep patterns
become irregular and can interfere with concentration and learning.
Many students stay up
late to do assignments or study for a retrial. They chose to sleep late and do
chores or studying for a retrial. Some are choosing to sleep and then wake up
at dawn certain days and work assignments or study for replication. Actually it
is not good because if not better sleep patterns will be difficult to
concentrate and also have an effect on the health of students. Because at
certain hours of the night certain body parts will work during sleep, our body
processes that occur in the body will not occur and cause students experience
health problems.
The Habits of Caffein
Intake
Drinking too much
coffee, colas, or other "energy-upper drinks" is known to cause
insomnia. Caffeine from these drinks is the main reason. Chain smokers can also
be easy victims of insomnia because of the nicotine that cigarettes contain.
Additionally, herbal remedies, alcohol, and other medications can make one
prone to becoming an insomniac. Some may think that alcohol, when consumed, can
make one feel drowsy. But little do they know that in the long run, when the
alcohol gets metabolized, sudden wakefulness will follow.
Imsonia among students
can be a common cause of complain for substance abusers. This is particular
true for those students who become reliant on uppers and downers. Those
students rely on depressants like alcohol to get to sleep may struggle when the
substance isn’t available. Those students who abuse stimulants will commonly
suffer from long bouts of insomnia that can damage their mental health leading
to paranoia and psychosis.
From the observation,
53.33% of student said they rarely to consume cafein, 33.33% said always & 13.33%
said never consume caffeine. It is an opperant conditioning. It was because
student think cafein help them a lot in keeping them unsleepy, awake that
encourage them to take coffee or tea on a day.
Students who break away
from consume caffeine will often have to deal with withdrawal symptoms. This
can involve a period of time where it is difficult to sleep. This problem will
usually resolve after a few weeks away from alcohol or drugs.
Caffeine is an addictive
drug colorless and tasteless which is found in many foods and beverages we
consume. also found in several drugs as a cardiac stimulant and also as a mild
diuretic to increase urine production. Food and beverages such as coffee, tea,
chocolate, and cola all contain caffeine, which can cause insomnia and sleep
deprivation.
Caffeine can give a
boost of energy and the high alertness and is often used to stay awake longer.
People from all walks of life use it to stay awake late into the night while
others feel as if they can not function properly without a cup of coffee in the
morning.
As well as an addictive
drug, caffeine stimulates the brain in much the same way as amphetamines,
cocaine, and heroin. Although the overall effect of caffeine is lighter than
other drugs, but still manipulate the same brain drain that makes caffeine
addicting.
Caffeine consumption has
been linked to sleep disorders, including insomnia, due to physiological
effects. Insomnia is a condition when student or a person have trouble sleeping
or can not fall asleep at all. Although insomnia symptoms usually last only a
few nights, a few patients have symptoms lasting for months or even years in
extreme cases.
Although insomnia can be
caused by many other factors such as stress, mental problems ,, drugs or
alcohol, lack of exercise, excessive noise or light, and certain physical
illnesses, it has been found that the consumption of caffeine is the most
common cause of sleep disorders.
If your sleep has been
interrupted for more than several weeks and interfere with your ability to
function normally during the day, you should first consult your doctor.
Caffeine is known to
directly affect the functioning of kidneys and can cause kidney and urinary
infections. The infection also can disrupt normal sleep cycle or cause trouble
sleeping. It may also students to get up several times at night to urinate,
which will cause REM sleep cycle, which in turn will make they feel tired when
wake up in the morning. The main remedy for this problem is to cut caffeine
intake. Because caffeine does not affect anything to the flavor of coffee or
other drink, try switching to decaffeinated versions. Do not forget to drink a
glass of water before going to bed at night to clean up kidneys.
