Learning Challenge : Sleep Deprivation

Sleep Deprivation



This article confirmed that if I do not sleep enough I will start becoming crazy, not just my mind but my body will develop disorders and I can possibly end up in the hospital.
I learned that from not enough sleep you can start hallucinating and develop long-term memory impairment which I never knew and it is kind of scary to find out. Walseban - "sleep loss can cause psychological damage because sleep regulates the brain’s flow of epinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, chemicals closely associated with mood and behavior" which I knew because whenever I don't get enough sleep I feel like my brain is just floating around somewhere else and I can't concentrate or do any work and you better know not to ask me any questions because I will snap at you. These are some serious things that can happen if you do not get enough sleep, high blood pressure, diabetes,  a heart attack, and even a heart stroke. So please have your 7 to 9 hours of sleep and let your body rest itself. 

 I am curious about exploring my sleeping schedule and seeing if I can have one. I suffer from staying up late and doing all my work at 1 am and waking up at 9 am being tired and only getting around 4 hours of sleep. I would like to change my schedule so that every day I would go sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time but I know sometimes that is impossible especially when there is a lot of college work waiting for you.

    Wow, I really should learn about the effects of sleep deprivation. That is an extremely interesting study. As proud I am of getting stuff done its the fact I do them whilst losing sleep. I feel this ties into Time management because... the better someone manages their time, the better sleep they would get. I relate to your article a lot. I wish not to sound controversial but I think we as a society and our generation underestimate the value of sleep to be honest.

      Yeah I get so excited cause it’s like 2am and I am getting things done but then next day I wake up feeling horrible. We do underestimate the value of sleep !

A picture of me :)  Hi, I'm Milena, nice to meet you. I am 20 years old and I love food, joking, well not really because I do love food but there's more to me than love for food. I can speak three languages, English, Russian and Lithuanian. I came to Ireland when I was five years old and got thrown into junior infants a week later not knowing any English and you probably know how that went. I did a lot of crying for the few first weeks because I could not understand one word anyone was saying to me but then I learned.  This is how to say hello in Russian and Lithuanian.  -Russian:  Привет (Pri-vet) Privet -Lithuanian: Labas (La-bas)

Game Vision Statement

Projects: Vision Statement vision idea/design document     A vision idea/design document is created to present a plan that you have for your game. In this document, I will be expressing my idea of the game. I have decided that I am very interested in the game that would be called “Shooting stars”. I had game ideas like "shoot the starfish", shoot rings onto a big starfish, or shooting bubbles but I like the sound of shooting stars. The name "shooting stars" reminds me of the night, calmness, and overall peace. This game is all about relaxing your mind and destressing but also could be a challenge. The game genre is shooting.  The gameplay starts of with a beautiful dark night sky, some relaxing music playing in the background, and possibly some sound effects of shooting stars like some “SWOOSH” sounds or any other sounds that "shooting stars" could make. At the bottom of the screen, there is a shooter or a shooting station. The shooting station would have ...

Game Design

Game Design Public domain license Link to image Game design seems hard yet after reading a few articles you soon realised how easy it can be to design and create a game. In my mind to create a game you have to be a genius with all of the knowledge of coding but after reading a post by Angela He" From Zero to Game Designer: how to start building video games even if you don’t have any experience"  you realise that in order to create a game all you need to have is an  idea, information about what kind of game you want it to be and the purpose, characters, some experience playing games, and some passion.   After reading the class reading task I realise you can create a game by drawing a simple line on a paper and dividing it into sections forming a challenge for the character. The next step is to choose a character and the enemy for example I chose an apple as the main character and a girl as the enemy. The apple runs away from the girl because the girl loves apples and there...
