There is a common saying that, in order to reduce the total amount of time you spend in sleeping, you must increase the quality of sleep (Postawski, 2011). Surprisingly, many people have limited knowledge and beliefs about what sleep is. Most of them do not pay attention as to how it affects health. However, sleep is needed just as the basic needs like food and water. The quality and quantity of sleep affect daily functioning and the general health of an individual. Therefore, any factor that…

Academic Success Proper time management and maintaining a healthy life-style are important factors in achieving academic excellence. The body needs to be at its best to perform better academically. Important ways of keeping a healthy life-style is to get the proper amount of sleep and obtaining a good diet. What you eat can have a positive or negative outcome on test scores, and how much you sleep can also have a positive or negative effect on test scores. Keeping your body healthy and having…

One is called the, phototherapy or another name is light therapy. This therapy is effective towards individuals whose sleeping problems are due to the delayed sleep phase syndrome. Individuals with the delayed sleep phase syndrome have issues with their brain’s sleep cycle. These individuals usually have a harder time falling asleep until it’s late at night, and then they wake up later the next morning than they wished. Phototherapy consists…

Harmonics: Harmonic distortions are injected at the generation as well as the consumer end. At the consumer end, harmonics are caused by nonlinear loads such as PCs, CFLs, electronic devices, etc. The harmonics distortion caused by non-linear load such as electric arc furnaces, large concentrations of arc discharge lamps, variable speed motors, saturation of magnetization of transformer and a distorted line current. The current generated by such loads will interact with power system impedance…

place for adolescents instead of being a resting place. Other causes are excessive caffeine- containing drinks, socializing at night on phones, or various worries due to school (Stores, 2009, p. 52). Delayed sleep phase disorder is normal in patients. "Prevalence of delayed sleep phase is a type in the general population is approximately 0.17% but appears to be greater than 7% in adolescents" (APA, 2013, p. 391). The course is persistent and has to last longer than three months and…

 Novel 3-Phase Single stage boost inverter: Analysis, Design and Experimentation M K Pathak, Member, Dogga Raveendhra and Aravind Panda Abstract— this paper introduces a novel type of 3-phase single stage dc-ac converter, which is controlled by sliding mode control, offers intrinsic step up abilities. Proposed inverter is designed with lesser number of solid state semiconductor switches and small passive elements. Sliding mode controller (robust controller) is designed to control this power…

The Circadian clock which is the 24h day and night cycle is having an effect on the psychological activity of all organisms. These processes involve activities such as the wave pattern of the brain, melatonin, and other biological aspects. Melatonin is a hormone in the brain that helps our body to control the sleep and wake cycles. A small portion of it can be found in some certain food such as meat and fruits. Our internal “clock” in our bodies that controls the sleep and wake cycles can also…

Reflection: Writing this paper was very challenging yet interesting as the brain mechanism behind sleep and insomnia is very complex. In order to better this complex mechanism, we first need to understand the two processes that regulate the sleep-wake cycle, the circadian rhythm controls alertness, wakefulness level and it is regulated by the internal biological or circadian clock. Indeed, the circadian clock controls how much melatonin the body makes. Melatonin is a hormone…

definition of lunar effects refers to the authentic or imaginary connections between the specific stages of the 29.5-day lunar cycle and the behavioral and physiological changes in living beings on Earth, which includes humans and animals. The lunar effects that we experience correlates directly with the lunar phases. The lunar phases change as the Moon orbits the Earth and how it’s position is relative to the Sun. Before diving into the beliefs, myths, and conceptions surrounding lunar…

amount of light that the sun that illuminates the moon changes monthly. These are called the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon are the changes in amount of moon illuminated by the sun as viewed from Earth. The moon is visible to us on Earth because the sun reflects light off of the sun, which is shown to us on Earth. There are eight phases of the moon that we see every month (“Understanding Moon Phases”, n.d.). Every…
