Staying Up Late
Through our research, I found that I am not the only one who likes to stay up late in the night. And this adverse habit is specially common among boys. I like to stay up late, nevertheless I do not know why I like to do this. When I was in China, I always tried to stay up late. However, my parents did not give me the free pass for that. They were worried that staying up late too often may causing procrastination of body booming. As a rebellious teenager then, I always locked my room door and secretly watched movie or played computer game till two or three o’clock in the morning.
Now, I finally get out of the tentacle of my parents', which means I do not have to be bothered by their nags. In the first few months of coming to Singapore, I excitedly stayed up late for every day, or even stay u the whole night. I felt like I finally fulfilled my dream of living without supervision. Out of my expectation, after experiencing staying up late by person, I do not really want to do that any more.
It was a normal staying up for a whole night, playing computer games. The next day, I felt just ok in the morning , nothing abnormal. When it came to the afternoon, something weird happened. I was sitting at my desk and completing my homework. Suddenly, a gale of dizzy hit me, I felt numb in the head for a while. I recovered soon after this. The painful feeling did not end yet. Following the dizzy, sour feeling rapidly creped my whole body like a snake was sliding all over my place and squeezing tightly and tightly. So frightened I was that I went to bed for I do not think I could hold any more seconds. I felt much better after a restorative nap. Rethinking what had happened to me, I started to wonder it was the consequence of accumulative staying up late. I swear to myself I will not stay up that late again.
The genuine detrimental experience alert me for how terrible it is to stay up late. I will never stay up that late, because I know that it does nothing good but damage. Please get rid of living habits and live healthily.
Sure, I agree with you. In normal sense, staying up late is not healthy to human beings. Anyway, some people can cope while some would even die for this. People like me could stay up late and do not feel a thing the next day. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. You know, it would be very upsetting if you cannot sleep while you want to. Though it would be OK for occasional practice, you have to pay for what you've missed. My energy level in the afternoon is undoubtedly lower than others. On the contrary, my most productive period is midnight, maybe a final burst before the end.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, there's no right or wrong of staying up. Just arrange your activities according to your energy periods, and everything would be OK~! Hope you will be better at this after entering NUS.
In fact, I think I might have some disease related to sleeping which you guys do not have. If I sleep for less than 8 hours, I will feel extremely tired the next day. Less than 7 hours, I can hardly open my eyes the next day. Less than 6 hours, I will feel death is coming.
ReplyDeleteSo, I really appreciate NUS gives us a chance to live in a single room. I think in the university, I will have a much better sleeping quality than now, and I will be more dynamic in the daytime.
I also like to stay up late without any reason. However, every time I stay up late, I will feel terrible the next day. It is a common sense that staying up late does a lot of harm to our health.
ReplyDeleteTo stay fit, I think we should avoid this bad habit. If we have a lot of things to do, it is better for us to get up earlier, instead of staying up late.
However, as young adults, in my own opinion, occasionally staying up late is OK. It is because now we are still young and we can enjoy ourselves.
hia hia~ i think you are really into your research project, yet, this topic is always worth discussing since it is highly-related to each of us.
ReplyDeleteFor me, staying up late means two things. One is that something black under my eye will come out again, which is definitely ugly; the other is that, i admit i am not tall and i must seize every opportunity to sleep early-- maybe i can be a little bit taller...every centimeter counts^^
