Before you catch some Zz's...

  
           Personally, I can honestly say I will never ever take my sleep for granted again once after I graduate May of 2013. That being said, I'm sure all my fellow college students out there can agree that between work both in and outside of school, social events and personal relationships, sleep definitely takes the backseat. 
        Honestly, how many times have you stayed up into the early hours of the morning writing a paper or putting the finishing touches up on a power point/video file; your eyes aching to stay open while the sun rising from outside seeps into your room as you hurriedly try to complete your assignment. 5am and you are just closing down your computer, and drunkenly stumbling into your bed --- only to wake up just 5 or 6 hours later! (And that's If you're lucky enough to have a 1030am class.)

         At this point throughout the day, your mind and body are going to fall into the following states:
1.) Falling asleep in class.
2.) Downing coffee/energy drink and eventually.. falling asleep in class.
3.) Straining to keeps eyes open and remain eye contact with professor... just before you fall asleep.

         Overall, sleep is crucial. But just in case you're one of those people who are so adjusted to not getting any sleep they're okay with pulling an "all-nighter" every single night for no reason, here are a few facts to enlighten your sleepyhead. Until then, get some zzz's!!
