Introduction   Research has been conducted time and time again about the importance of sleep on academic performance. It is said that sleep is crucial when talking about school work and performance for students. College students specifically go through a transition from high school when they are on a set sleep schedule  and veer away from it.  This transition might make college students think they can stay up later because they don’t have parents telling them what to do. This leads to the question ,  is sleep affecting the academic performance of college students? A survey was conducted to see just how many college students feel their performance is affected by sleep. The results of this can be eye opening for college students and their sleep schedules  along with their grades and GPA.    Greg  Voakes , author of the article  The Importance of Getting Sleep in College , said that college students need to be getting on average of 8.5...

Unit 1 Reflection 1. What were the most challenging parts of the assignment? What do you think could be changed/done to make it better/more useful? 2. In preparation for the assignment, we did several things like Discussing basic analytical concepts (SLR, AATP, etc.) Outlining papers and peer-reviewing them Analyzing sample papers Peer reviewing first drafts Conducting individual conferences Which of them were the most useful and which were the least useful? Post your answers as a comment. 1. The most challenging parts for me was finding sources because I am not sure I knew exactly what I was looking for. I knew that I needed to find a business article but it was hard to tell exactly what fit in with the essay. Another thing

My topic is going to be how school is affected by amount of sleep. In high school we woke up at 6 am every day and didn't have enough sleep to function throughout the day. In college however, people are able to sleep longer making their moods lifted and their studies better. I want to see the difference in peoples moods and school work to see if sleep affects that. 1. Do you feel that your mood is affected by sleep? 2. Do you feel that when you sleep longer its better for your school work? I am going to research about high school students mainly because that's where this issue is a bigger problem but I also want to tie in college students because we are also affected and can be the main answer to this question since we are able to wake up later.
