Sleep

Sleep sometimes seems like a big waste of time. Just think about how many things you could do instead of sleeping. Why do we need sleep at all? I think we all have considered about these things. And I also got interested so I started searching for some information.
Sometimes i feel great even if I sleep only 6hours, but sometimes I sleep 10hours and when I awake I still feel tired. It is known that nowadays one needs about 8hours of sleep to feel totally rest. What is more if we wake up at REM faze we feel more relaxed weather on other fazes.
And another interesting thing I find out, would be a great advise for all of you. If you are having an exam and only one night is left for learning you should remember that sleep, especially REM sleep, is very important for memory and learning. But if there is no possibility to learn earlier you should try counting the time and leave the exact time for all 4states of sleep. That you would awake at REM faze.
So as you see sleep is very important for our lives and it is also useful to find out more about sleep, to live a full value life.

influence

A person who influenced me the most from my very beginning was my sister. She is older than me and always took care of me. For this reason I am very thankful.
Though some time ago when we were children we didn't get on well I still admired her. She was an example for me. My sister is very creative and stubborn, she always was reaching for the best. So for this reason I also had to try very hard to catch up her. And later on when we became great friends it was even better to watch her, how she deals big problems and still stays very calm. Then she helped me to reach my biggest goals in life and always to stay strong.
And know when I think what would I be without her... First I don't think I would know what means to have a real close friend and an example to follow. And what is more I don't think I would be studying here, she helped me to find myself. And even now she is very important to me,she's my support, and I'm her's.

Phobias

Phobia is an irrational persistent fear of certain situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life we must find ways to cope with it.
Some people who has phobias tries to avoid what they are afraid of. If they cannot, they may experience: panic and fear, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, trembling, a strong desire to get away. There are several ways to cure it. Cognitive behavioral therapy lets the patient understand the cycle of negative thought patterns, and ways to change these thought patterns. Also an important role plays our surrounding: our friends, parents. They can help us by providing a sense of security, self-confidence. In some critical moments people start using drugs, becomes addicted to alcohol. For example famous stars such as Marlin Monroe, Johnny Depp, David Beckham also has fears and those who don't cure them becomes addicted to drug or alcohol.
To sum everything up, it is normal to be afraid of something, though we mustn't let those phobias become fears.
