The two articles, “Why Being a Thinker means Pocketing your Smartphone” by Todd Leopold and “Have Smartphones killed boredom (and is that good?)” by Doug Gross, bring up good points about how smartphones affect our lives. Today, smartphones are mainly used to help eliminate boredom in our lives, but they also can distract us from what's going on around us. When they aren't being used to distract us, they can become a useful tool to help us in our daily lives; such as, checking/writing emails, calling, texting, checking the news, and so much more. These applications can easily distract us as well.…

In “Today’s Exhausted Superkids,” Frank Bruni discusses how sleep is a key factor in a child’s growth and development. However, many teenagers are too stressed to get the proper amount of sleep each night. Bruni mentioned this has only been an issue for the most recent generations. He says the problem used to be oversleeping and being late to class, but now the situation is quite the opposite. Teenagers these days are pushed to have the best grades, participate in a sport, have a job, and get into the best college. This is just too much for most teens, and they are sacrificing sleep to accomplish it all. According to Bruni, the National Sleep Foundation recommends eight to ten hours of sleep, while more than half of American teenagers get seven…
One of the main reasons early school start times are bad for teenagers is that it makes them seriously sleep deprived. When waking up around 6 or 7 a.m., students are lucky to get making 6 hours of sleep, when they’re supposed to get about 9 hours, because they stay up doing homework or another activity they were supposed to do the night before. In the article “School Start Times and Sleep”, the author explains this topic in more detail by saying “Evidence suggests that teenagers are indeed, seriously sleep…
The video from the article “BBC News - is your smartphone ruining your sleep?” is about, how cellphones are affecting people before the sleep.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that the amount of televisions in bedrooms is raising. Television is the most widespread communication system of modern society (Nag, 2012). It’s not uncommon these days to have a television in your bedroom. However, studies show that watching TV before bed can have a negative impact on your sleep (Nag, 2012). It has also been found that televisions result in later bedtimes. The results support the idea that sleeping patterns are influenced by television (Custers, 2012). Contradictorily, conflicting research also shows that reducing media use might NOT be important for sleep hygiene advice to adults (Louzada, 2004). This self observation is an attempt to find out if watching TV has an effect on sleep.…

Every day I wake up at 7 am and sometimes my mom lets me sleep in, but most of the time I sleep in anyways. I stay up late either watching TV and sometimes while reading a book, and most of the time it is by accident. If my school had a later time then we would definitely get more sleep and be ready for the day ahead. People are arguing whether students should have a later start time or school. Students should have a later start time to school.…

It may not seem like such a big deal to get a little screen time in before bed, until you realize just how much exposure you get to it everyday. Technology affects your sleep in a lot of negative ways. It disrupts your sleeping patterns, keeps your brain alert, and wakes you up.…

Sleep deprivation has been a big part with the 21st century. Children are becoming more advanced in technology, but lacking the advancement in school performance like in this article. Staying up late at night usually browsing the web or playing around on their electronic devices and having to wake up early for school is becoming critical in a student’s life. Sean Coughlan provides a wide range of statistics on students being affected in their performance in school by the lack of sleep, which makes this paper more trust worthy. Although sleep deprivation could be reversed, Coughlan lacks informing the readers of the effects in the long term and how it can be reversed significantly.…
