Learning Challenge: Healthy Sleep

(Image Information: Sleeping Child, Pixabay)
For this learning challenge, I decided to read about sleep. I have always had a lot of sleep problems and weird sleeping habits. I dream every night and have lucid dreams every night. This leads to me waking up unrested and then wanting to nap later in the day. But even when I nap I don't get peaceful sleep. I also stay up late and occasionally stay up till morning only to take a short nap before class. These days are always unbearable and now I know why. I did not realize previously that it was so important to go to bed at the same time every night and to not eat a lot before sleeping. I work as a server in a restaurant and on weekends I usually work from 11 to 9-10 with no breaks, and when I get off I am usually hungry and exhausted so I often end up eating a big meal (my only meal of the day) right before I go to bed. I have known this is super unhealthy (yikes) but I didn't realize how much it could mess up my sleep quality. I will keep this in mind next time and try to eat a smaller meal. I will also try to maintain a regular sleep routine and not stay up all night. 

Here is the link to the article I read. I hope y'all read it and get some sleep!

Introduction to A Crazy Cat Lady

Image
(Image Information: Cat Selfie) My name is Ann Marie.  Here are some facts about me: I am 19 and currently pursuing a dual degree in Linguistics and French at OU.  I love books, and consider myself a crazy cat lady.  I am passionate about women's rights and LGBTQ rights.  I work as a server in a restaurant, and though my job is mentally taxing, it can also be fun.   (Image Information: Books , 2010) Some of my favorite authors are J.K. Rowling (duh), Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, Cassandra Clare, and Rick Riordan. I've been especially into Rick Riordan lately! This summer, I decided to reread the Percy Jackson series. From there I could not stop. I have since read and reread every YA book he has out, and I am also following his Rick Riordan Presents imprint series, in which he reads and edits YA mythology books by other authors, and then adds them to the Rick Riordan Presents collection, allowing new or relatively unknown authors to be put in the spo

Week 9 Story: Alex, the Boy Who Stole Fox Power

(Image Information: Fox Face,  Flickr ) (Image Information: Fox Close Up,  Maxpixel ) Hello. My name is Alex and this is my story about fox power.  It was nearly forty years ago. I was a young boy, about thirteen. My family lived out in the country in the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma. My mother had always loved animals, and she was constantly adopting them because she couldn't stand to see them hungry. We had sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, rabbits, goats...you name it, and we probably kept it as a pet. The one creature we'd never cared for was foxes. Back then, there weren't many foxes in our part of the woods.  One day I'm out feeding and watering the animals, something I don't particularly like doing but have to do anyway. The pig has gone and knocked her water bin over, so I've gotta climb the fence to her pen and turn it over for her. I'm struggling in the mud, trying to right the dang thing. It's heavy, and my feet are slipping in the mud and
