Sleep Facts

• Teens need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night to function best. Most teens do not get enough sleep — one study found that only 15% reported sleeping 8 1/2 hours on school nights.

• Naps can help pick you up and make you work more efficiently, if you plan them right. Naps that are too long or too close to bedtime can interfere with your regular sleep.

• Establish a bed and wake-time and stick to it, coming as close as you can on the weekends. A consistent sleep schedule will help you feel less tired since it allows your body to get in sync with its natural patterns. You will find that it’s easier to fall asleep at bedtime with this type of routine.
• Don’t eat, drink, or exercise within a few hours of your bedtime. Don’t leave your homework for the last minute. Try to avoid the TV, computer and telephone in the hour before you go to bed. Stick to quiet, calm activities, and you’ll fall asleep
• Teens' natural sleep cycle puts them in conflict with school start times. Most high school students need an alarm clock or a parent to wake them on school days. They are like zombies getting ready for school and find it hard to be alert and pay attention in class. Because they are sleep deprived, they are sleepy all day and cannot do their best. 
• Schools that have set later bell times find that students do not go to bed later, but get one hour more of sleep per school night, which means five hours more per week.

What makes us human ?

If you ask people the question what defines us as humans or what makes a human a human ? They would probably say emotions , feelings , smell , touch , and love. I know that I'm human 100% or I think I am because I have a heart , love , and have emotions which robots don't have. A big part of what makes robots robots is the fact that they don't love , because in humans lives that's a big part of it. Robots aren't made to love like humans I don't even think robots have hate feelings. Robots to me are basically a very intelligent brain that can answers to your problems with out making any mistakes. But humans make mistakes all the time that's what makes us better at things and most of the time when we mess up we strive to fix our mistake and make it right , we might get frustrated about it but that's what makes us human were not perfect.
