Reflection/Reaction Piece

The topic I chose for my reflection piece is sleeping disorders. A sleeping disorder is associated with the difficulty off falling asleep or staying asleep or a physiological functioning during sleep. This topic is interesting to me because I feel I suffer from insomnia and have fellow friends and family members who also have some sort of sleeping disorder. This topic impacts school life because not getting enough sleep causes me not to be as alert in classes. It also impacts my social life because not getting enough sleep at night causes me to be tired during the day and not do social activities. This topic is important to public health because it affects a large amount of people and getting the correct amount of sleep is important for daily function. It is also important to know about the different sleep aids available. This topic makes me question how safe sleeping aids are and what studies have been done to show that they are not addictive?
