Nap Lab Report
Napping is some kind of resting in a short period of time. It can be anytime but
mostly, people would take a nap either ten o'clock or directly after lunch. There can be
categorized into two types of a nap, the first one is biphasic sleep, which is a practice of
sleeping two hours from 24 hours. Next, the second one is called polyphasic sleep,
which is a practice of sleeping in various number of hours. 'Eventhough, napping is
needed to our life in order to recharge yourself and get energy to deal with activities
during a day. Still it is unacceptable for the adults who are working to take a nap during
work hours.
As National Sleep foundation has indicated that over 85% in the world, humans
are mostly polyphasic sleepers. What they tried to say was that humans are sleep in
short periods of time throughout a day. There is a term called ​'siesta' t​ he word came
from Spanish and its meaning is nap. This term is usually mean taking a short nap
during the early afternoon or maybe right after a meal. The siesta is commonly in
Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Also it is concerned as a traditional in many
countries. Each countries have different concerned on timing. The best duration for
taking a nap is approximately about 20-30 minutes but it is also depend on the person.
The longer you take can lead you grogginess. (Wikipedia, 2019) Taking a nap can help
you in many ways, reboot your mind, improve on learning and memory, make you feel
calm. As University of Colorado claimed that people who miss a nap are likely more
anxious than those who take a nap everyday. This shows that benefit of take a nap is
manage the anxiety and mental solving problem. (Harvard Health,2018) In this lab, I
would like to test on time duration and claim that the benefits of take a nap is truth. So
First thing I decided to begin take a nap from 10 minutes,15 minutes,20 minutes,30
minutes,60 minutes, and end up with 90 minutes respectively. By the end of the lab
experiment, I would be getting a result on which time duration is the best for taking a
nap and benefit for myself.

Hypothesis:
❖ If I take a nap after lunch, then I will be able to focus more on academics.

● Making a suicide attempt say that they did it because they were trying to escape from a
situation that seemed impossible to deal with.
● They didn't want to die as much as they wanted to escape from what was going on.
● Teens with alcohol and drug problems are also more at risk for suicidal thinking and
behavior.
● Some teens worry about sexuality and relationships, wondering if their feelings and
attractions are normal
● Many people who really didn't mean to kill themselves end up dead or critically ill.
 Whenever you face some problem that you can not face with, what will you do ?
Most of the teenagers or even adults who are trying to escape the situation which they could
not find the solutions to deal with. They would commit the suicide to escape from the
situation. Most people who commit suicide have depression. It is very dangerous because
depression leads you to focus on failures and disappointments. To make you feel more
negative it also can lead you to the term called severe depression. Some people can not
figure out between depression and situation. They may think that suicidal is not related to the
situation, but unfortunately 85% it is related. But for commit the suicide, not only depression
is a main factor . There are some more that can lead you to commiting suicide.

There is some factor that can make you easily commit to suicide, drugs and
alcohols. Why it is like that? It is because these two things whenever it goes into your body, it
will have depressive effects on the brain. This problem can go worse when people use this
factor to escape. But it is not always mean that whoever use this solution will kill themselves
but it is one of the main factor as well. Suicide, sometimes it comes in a form of planned but
some are randomly come. This means that you would never know when you will have a
thought to commit suicide unless you face some hard situation randomly. There is signs for
you to figure the person who will commit suicide, they would " talking about going away",
"pulling away from friends or family and losing the desire to go out" , "experiencing changes
in eating or sleeping habits" , or "talking about suicide or death in general" etc. Moreover,
whenever you face some hard situation, do not keep it with yourself only. In this world, not
just only you are standing alone there are family and friends who are standing by your side.
You may also get rid of these situation by being with the good people and good environment,
tell someone who you trust, ask for help etc. (​D'Arcy, L., PhD. 2014)
