WEEK 2
Ms. Breege Leddy has given a lecture about sleep deprivation with the title of “Sleep Well To Live Well.” This lecture was aimed to raise awareness regarding sleep deprivation and its relation to mental disorders. This lecture has made me aware what the results and causes of sleep deprivation are and how common it is. Moreover, Ms Breege claimed that she has a busy clinic due to the fact that issue is increasing especially people suffering from Insomnia. The past point made me feel like sleep disorders are actually a serious issue and need to be resolved. I was also made aware that sleep disorders are deeper than what I thought. In fact, there are 80 different sleep disorders that can cause weak immune system, premature aging, and the risk of diabetes. In addition, throughout the lecture, I have recognized the fact that mental disorders are related to sleep deprivation. Watching this made me realize that both mental disorders and sleep deprivations can cause each other. Furthermore, it made me feel more conscious that both sleep and mental disorders shouldn’t be taken lightly. Ms. Breege also stated the fact that light plays a major role in sleep deprivation. It made me recognize that I am also guilty of using smart devices before sleeping and feel like I owe my body for it. In conclusion, I have felt that I’ve been more educated regarding the topic and that sleeping is more complex than what it seems to me.
