module 7 reflection

Throughout module 7, we learned about sleep and distracted driving which are both very important topics. 

 Sleep is important for mental and physical reasons. You need to let your mind and body rest, in order to be efficient during the day. Without a good nights rest, you'll be fatigued, irritable, and possibly even forgetful. The amount of sleep you get each night matters because each stages serves its own purpose. During a one of the stages called REM (rapid eye movement), you're temporarily paralyzed so your organs can rest. Your mental isn't the only thing that can be exhausted, your body can become exhausted as well. For more information about sleep, why its important, and ways to improve how you sleep, click here.

 I agreed strongly with our textbook's definition of distracted driving, "anything that diverts a person's attention away from the primary task of driving.". Since it's literally impossible for our brain to focus on two seperate things at once, it's safe to say that you shouldn't be doing anything expcet driving when you're in control of any motor vehicle. Using your phone without hands-free assistance and eating are two common examples of distracted driving, which I witness almost daily. For more information on distracted driving, death tolls, and stay safe, click here.

The material that I related the most to through these chapters was how exercise helps with depression.

I was affected by it my whole life until two years ago I talked to my doctor and she recommended either getting on an antidepressant or try lightly working out throughout the week. I haven’t been a huge fan of medicine growing up so I tried working out. I felt god instantly; I walked out feeling new and I couldn’t wait to go back the next day. Endorphins are released when you workout, these reduce your perception of pain and give you an euphoric feeling. For more about endorphins, visit here . Working out is addictive because when you miss a day you feel crappy. I found Alexandria Benson’s discussion post the most interesting, I enjoyed reading her ‘Extra thoughts’ section at the bottom. I learned that people today are 10% heavier than they were in the 80’s , even when following t...

Module 2 reflection//

I'm walking away from this module having learned new material and having applied it to my life, it made it this module personal. I learned that different ethnicities are more prone than others to disease and health conditions, I learned as well that cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US. Although they're cool facts, how to cope with stress was my favorite topics to read/research/learn about. On page 52 ,it states American's expierence higher stress annually while all aware that stress is affecting their health.If more people dealth with stress, they'd live a happier healthier life.  The two different personality types was the material I enjoyed learning the most, by going  here  it helped me learn more in depth about the two different personalities.

The two personalities react to stress differenly, which is a direct result of the type of personality traits th...
