Modification Plan
Zulydivad Ortiz
Modification Plan. The behavior that I am targeting is going to sleep early normally I stay up late watching TV and using my phone on Facebook, texting, and on Instagram. Since I go to sleep late it’s very hard to wake up in the morning and I feel tired all day. My plan is to go to sleep between 10:30pm-11:00pm, every night. But before that I have to study, do homework etc. So, what I’m going to do is to finish everything up by 9:00pm every night so, I’m able to go to sleep between 10:30pm and 11:00pm.

Therefore I am going to make a chart based on the week days to record the time I go to sleep each day and put a check mark if I went to sleep early or an X if I didn’t. One of my positive reinforcements is that I will feel awake and alert during the day I’m going to be able to stay focus and do what I have to do in class. The other one is that I get to stay up late on Saturday’s. My negative reinforcements; one is to wake up even earlier the next morning, at 6:15am and go to sleep by 9:00pm and the other one is that I’m not going to be able to use my phone after 8:30pm.

My goal for this action plan is to go to sleep between 10:30pm-11:00pm. I need 8 hours of sleep; sleep is an important part of life so I need to fix my sleeping habits now. And by going to sleep early I’m not going to be so tired in the morning and so much can be done after a good full night of sleep yet, it’s going to be a little hard because my body is used to go to sleep late and it’s not that easy to fall asleep early. But, it’s not impossible anyways. Let’s see what happens.

    For 3 consecutive nights, fill out the Data Tracking Sheet (Data A), which records any rituals of before bed activity (read, watch TV, exercise, etc.), to track your normal pattern of falling asleep.

    The research question that I will be investigating is: how do the demands of the college workload affect the sleeping habits of college students? I chose this topic because I feel like it has a direct correlation to my personal experiences, as well as those of my fellow classmates. I often feel as if the demands from my college workload directly affect my ability to get an appropriate amount of sleep, and so I want to research the topic to see if other students share the same experience. I believe that when I have more work that needs to be completed, I have less of an opportunity to sleep during the night. This sentiment has been echoed by many of my classmates and friends, therefore I think that this is a common situation amongst college students. In this paper, I am going to refer to a similar study, as well as propose the most appropriate method to conduct this study, which is through survey. In addition, I will be comparing and contrasting the benefits and the drawbacks of this methodology, along with this study’s relevance to previously existing studies on this topic.…

    Luckily, the reinforcements worked much better for me. The negative reinforcement of adding extra alarms worked very well, I did not oversleep as I had the week before. On the same note, what worked the best for me were the positive reinforcements, so I used several of them. To begin with I added a coffee or tea every morning so I would be less tired and more likely to go to class. When I found that worked the positive reinforcement worked well I decided to add another. I then added going to get my nails done at the end of the week if I made it to all my classes as an intensive. When that worked I decided to keep it going even further, even after I completed this project. I came up with the idea to continue coming up with rewards at the end of each week as long as I go to every…

    According to Sarah Mckibben, author of the article “Wake up Calls”, which is based off of a study by the National sleep foundation, states that “69% of U.S. high school students get fewer than 8 hours of sleep on school nights.” This fact proves the point that students are struggling to go to bed and manage their time. By letting start times stay as they are, students can easily teach themselves the appropriate time for bed and the appropriate time to do homework. Students could have a better understanding of time management which may be helpful when they start seeking…

    Due to the fact that there is currently no policy in Idaho that requires a Athletic trainer in a school's athletic programs, schools should have athletic trainers on hand to prevent athletes from injuring themselves even more.

    Many negative consequences result from the ongoing sleep deprivation. Students find it hard to wake up in the morning, not necessarily because they are lazy, but because their body clock is mismatched with the demands of life, and because irregular sleep interferes with their sleep cycle; resulting in increased difficulties falling asleep at night and waking up in the…

    Over 20% of Americans suffer from sleep loss and more than 1,500 deaths a year are caused by drivers that have fallen asleep at the wheel. One way these two frightening statistics could be lowered is by simply changing school start times. Students need more sleep than what they are getting due to early school start times, which is getting sleepy drivers on the road. School start times should be later than they are now because middle school and high school students are “programmed” to sleep in, sleep improves grades and it also improves physical health.…

    In my self-directed behavioral change project, I encountered a lot of difficult challenges and obstacles in reaching my ultimate goal: a better night’s sleep. My goals for this behavioral change project were to establish a proper sleep and bedtime regimen, getting a full-night’s rest and ultimately feeling more alert and energetic through the day. My main goals were to improve my sleep cycle/regimen by getting the necessary eight hours of sleep I need every night and waking up in the morning feeling fully rested and not sleepy, tired, or groggy at all. This is what I set out to do and I recorded all the times I went to bed, times I’d fall asleep, times I’d wake up in the middle of the night, and times I’d wake up next morning. I recorded all of my observations and occurrences for two weeks and noticed some positive change in my bed-time pattern. I was able to get the necessary eight hours of sleep every night and felt a difference the next day.…

    Most children and young adults need to sleep approximately nine hours each night (“Wake Up Calls” 1). During the process of puberty, the sleep-cycle of adolescents changes and they get their most comfortable sleep between the night hour of eleven and early morning hour of eight (“Wake Up Calls” 1). At 11:00p.m. , most adolescents are just getting home from their part time jobs and aren’t table to get into bed until by midnight at the earliest. Adolescents getting home late and still having to get up extremely early make them extremely tired and unable to function correctly.…

    Prior to coming to school I was the epitome of a night owl. I hated waking up early and always went to bed late. I was super productive at night but was a zombie in the morning. Coming to college I have been forced to change my circadian rhythm. For field hockey we have practice at 7 a.m. everyday this new event has forced me to have to wake up early. In order to wake up, eat breakfast, get treatment and arrive at practice on time I usually have to wake up at 5:45 a.m. Because I have been waking up early, it has been harder to stay up late. I used to do homework at 2 or 3 a.m., but now I struggle to stay up until midnight on weekdays. Additionally, I now find…

    College students like myself often put off sleep for other activities like studying, doing homework or even just staying up all night with a friend. Our body follows the twenty-four hour cycle of each day and night through a biological clock called the Circadian rhythm. On the weekdays, staying up all night and skipping meals makes it difficult to focus in class. After lunchtime, I become sleepy and have difficulty focusing on my other classes. In the afternoon, this affects my body because it does not give me energy, but instead it makes me crash earlier in the day.…
