Am I dead?

Am I dead?



Your professor has been wondering whether or not you are dead.



Some of you are sitting in class with glassy eyes, trying to stop yourselves from falling asleep. And you are probably blaming your professors for that. But we have heard through the grapevine that many of you are not sleeping a good eight hours a night. In fact, some of you have fessed up and admitted that you are not sleeping enough because you no longer have a mommy around to tell you to go to bed at a decent hour.

Sleep deprivation is a serious condition that can lead to slowed motor reactions, delayed cognitive functions, depression, and even serious illness.

The likelihood that college students suffer from sleep deprivation is well documented:

If you want to rejoin the living start sleeping eight hours a night. Make a concerted effort to schedule the appropriate amount of sleep for optimal physical and brain functions. This may mean giving up some late night chats or a few hours of Xbox, but that is life...or that is how you will come back to life.

Sweet dreams,
