My reflection is on the sleep lecture we had in class. I never knew that consistently not getting enough sleep could cause serious health problems. I knew it would weaken your immune system, but I never thought a stroke could derive from lack of sleep. This is has a huge impact on my as a college student because I rarely get enough sleep. This is magnified by the fact that I work late nights and do all my studying at night and go to class during the day. If I continue with this habit later into life may kill me. This is very important to public health because many college student have similar schedules to mine and need to be made aware of how it could impacted them.
I am curious to know if the damages of sleeping very little can be rectified once a regular sleep pattern is set in place.
