No Sleep, No Health

   When want to have a break to take the fatigue away, what should we do? There are some ways. For example, taking a bath, yoga, a sleep and so on. One of these ways; a sleep, is very important in order to recover the fatigue. In my family case, I have a sister of junior high school student. Recently, my mother is angry because my sister stays up until late at night. My mother also think that a sleep is important. The reason we must consider a sleep seriously is because we don’t know what occurs to us when we are to be sleep-deprived. We need to know bad effects of sleep deprivation clearly. Now I give three noticeable effects of sleep deprivation; a overweight, a skin , and a brain.

   The under study in Columbia college is clear that a sleep deprivation is easy to grow fat.

     ‘ Sleepers less than four hour’s sleep are easy to grow fat at 73% as compared with sleepers for from seven to nine hours, and sleepers more than five hour’s sleep are easy to grow fat at 50%, sleepers for six hours are easy to grow fat at 23%.’

Why will we grow fat because of sleep deprivation? The longer we stay up untill late at night, the more a hormon is secreted. The hormon is secreted every time when we feel hungry; therefore we eat a lot of food more than consumption calory of the time we are waking. In short, if we can sleep earlier, the hormon is secreted. However, I think that people who grow fat for this reason are far less, because my sister is not fat . Sleep deprivation have more dangerous symptoms. In addition to a overweight, the influence we can judge from the outside appearance is about a skin.

   One of the condition which appears on our skin is the skin irritation. There are close relation between sleep deprivation and the skin irritation. Our skin can be reborn, and the hormon for growth is secreted only when we sleep at night. This hormon works harder between 10 p.m. and 2a.m.; therefore we need to have a sleep early. The importnt thing is the sleeping time. It is useless for us to sleep in short time, because we must sleep for over six hours so that skin cells are reborn enough. If we don’t have a sleep enough, old skin cells are difficult to change to new skill cells; as a result, it is the cause of dry skin. Another condition is to get dark circles under our eyes. It occurs so that the blood vessel contracts and the blood flow is stagnant. In order to be cured these condition, we must try and act over six hour’s sleep every day. On the other hand, the influence which we can’t judge from the outside appearance is the symptom about a brain.

   Generally the brain influence we recognize is a decline in the scholastic ability. Some scholars tells that a decline in the scholastic ability isn’t because of the education that aims at development of indivisual talent rather than learning by rote but because of sleep deprivation. In short, I think that students can’t concentrait on shool class so that they feel asleep. Cnsidered from the scientific search, REM sleep and non-REM sleephave a close relation with a decline in the scholastic ability. They have a cycle such as a wave. In REM sleep, we remember necessary matters in our brain, and in non-REM sleep, we take unnecessary matters away from our brain. If we don’t have a sleep enough, this cycle times decrease and we can’t use the effect of REM and non-REM sleep. The influence relative to this matter is a stress. We feel a stress so that bad matters don’t disappear. My sister doesn’t well at school, and she also become irritated when she does her homework. As other example, people can’t sleep so that they feel a sttress. We can consider that three matters; sleep deprivation, a decline in the scholastic ability, and a stress, are the triangle relationship. We must not forget that a brain need a sleep.

   We have various ways in order to be cured the influence of sleep deprivation, however we can’t be cured brain matters with some ways. If we want to be cured the influence of sleep deprivation, we must reconsider from the original root; a sleep. Most parents wish that their children grow more healthily and become wisely; as a result, they say to their children loudly, “Sleep early!”. And if we can have a sleep every day, we may be able to meet a different world from the time of sleep deprivation. No Fat, No Skin irritation, No Decline in the scholastic ability and Stress. Ithink that a sleep is most relaxing way that we can change and recover our body, our spirit, and our view of world.

A Use of Subjects

   We can be taught a lot of special subjects at college. It is different subjects from junior high school and high school. Because we must study common subjects at junior high school and high school. In other words, there are subjects we don’t need to study at college. But conversely, there are necessary subjects we must study at college. In my case, I divided three different categories of subjects; foreign language(except English), the theory of Japanese expression, and math.

   The first categoy of subjects is foreign language. I’ve studied Spanish for two years in Kansai Gaidai. First, I was interested in Spanish and I wanted to go to Spain. But Iwas frustrated in Spanish class in two years, because its class was not fun for me. I noticed suddenly why I learned different language. When I come to think of it, it is unnecessary for a person who won’t use foreign languages except English in the future to study them. If you want to go to foreign country except English area, you should learn that foreign lanuage without a teacher. There are a lot of college which have students teach foreign languages , but I don’t think that we must be taught different languages absolutely.

   The next category is the theory of Japanese expression. I was taught kanji and how to write a letter sentence and a personal history. I was not taught how to write a letter sentence at junior high school and high school, so I appreciate this class. Today many people are using wrong Japanese phrase. Therefore it is very important for us to learn Japanese. When we go out into the world sometime, we will use more Japanese than other languages. If we know difficult kanji, we can write and read its kanji exactly and we can interpret its meaning. If we know how to write a corrct letter, we can write a letter which isn’t gave offense to the other person. Therefore we must learn Japanese and Japanese skill.

   The last category is math. Maybe we Kansai Gaidai students won’t study math for long time. We must not consider that only scientific students learn math. Because if we want to take an examination for employment, we need math. I had taken math class last year. During its class, a teacher passed out some prints of an examination for employment to us. Its problem was very difficult. If I didn’t take its class, I wouldn’t be able to work out countermeasure. Owing to this class, I could get a big hint of examination.

   These three categories of subjects are one example. A lot of subjects which we study at junior high school and high school are “base”, and a lot of subjects which we study at college are important things in order to become a member of society. And subjects at college have us grow up. Their subjects are difficult and special, but they become our support to go out into the world and they will be useful for our life sometime. I hope that the day when I can notice that all college classes and subjects was very valuable and unforgetable time will be coming.

Summer Vacation in 2007

October 1st

  This summer, I think that all I did was a different experience. It’s an event happened during August. And I was excited and enjoyed it very much. I experienced  a bad things too. And I felt a yearning. I felt that I met new myself this summer.

  First, I did an internship at a hotel in Osaka during August. The reason why I did an internship is because of advice by a circle senior and to make the best use of a future job seach activities. Before the internship will start, I had gone to the hotel for interview once. I felt nervous then. It was on July 20th. On August  2nd, the internship starts. I woke up at 5 every morning, and I must take a train at 6 everyday. But I had 2 holidays a week. The job starts at 7:30. I thought the job ends at night, but this job ends at 15:30. I was relieved. The job was just 8 hours from start to end. The job is mainly a restaurant waiter. Firstly, I was got angry and taken care by all employees because I couldn’t work hard. At any rate, I had never did a part time job. But finally I could work hard in a degree. The restaurant waiter all were a person with personality, so I could work joyfully. When I failed , a trainee, she is 19 years old and a travel jouarnal student, made fun of me to say ” I break your glasses!” , but I could take heart. In the internship, I was satisfied to feel a different enjoyment as compared with usual enjoyment. And last day, I had a surprise!!! I was able to have steak for lunch. That steak was very very delicious!!! Maybe I won’t forget that taste all my life.

  During August, I only did an internship, so I had time on my hands in September. But…I had a big event once. I met a friend who was Kansai Gaidai till last year. In August, He had promised me that we would go to see a concert together. The concert is ‘Blast’. ‘Blast’ is mainly marching band. I had come under the influence of him before. He likes ‘Blast’ very much. And I like ‘Blast’ too. I felt attractive to ‘Blast’, so when I promised with him , I was excited very much! But I slept fast that day. That day the concert get into full swing and I remember that the day was the best night. I was impressed!! I was crying!! Nevertheless I slept very fast that day. It was on September 19th.

  And, in September, there was an event I longed for. It’s a movie. The title is ‘ EVANGELION:1.0′. It is an animation movie. It had been broadcasted on TV in 1990s, and the animation turned into a movie this time. While the movie is now on, I was excited all the time. Possibly I was excited about the movie more than ‘Blast’. When the movie ended, I went to buy the movie pamphlet. But it’s sold out. Nevertheless I went to buy the pamphlet after two weeks. The movie has three continuations. I, of course, will see all movies. And I saw a movie ‘Harry Potter’, but after all, ‘EVANGELION’ was more interesting than ‘Harry Potter’.

  During summer vacation, I practiced the guitar for school festival. In September, there was a training camp, but the days were the same day I went to see ‘Blast’. I’m sorry not to go to the taining camp to circle member. During August, I didn’t touch and played the guitar. When I played the guitar after a long time, I had blisters on my ring finger. I shocked a little. My guitar skill went down. I longed for a little and I was happy.

  I didn’t do many things. For example, getting driver’s license, travel and looking for part time job. I regret that I couldn’t travel with my family.

  Finally, this summer vacation was more interesting, exciting and empty for me than before summer vacation.Maybe…next year I’ll be busy, so I’m regrettable a little  this year.    But this vacation is almost good!
