We live in a world of tired, sleep deprived people In his book Counting Sheep, Paul Martin – a behavioural biologist – describes a society which is just too busy to sleep and which does not give sleeping the importance it deserves
Modern society has invented reasons not to sleep We are now a 24/7 society where shops and services must be available all hours We spend longer hours at work than we used to, and
more time getting to work Mobile phones and email allow us to stay in touch round the clock
and late-night TV and the Internet tempt us away from our beds When we need more time for work or pleasure, the easy solution is to sleep less The average adult sleeps only 6.2 hours a night during the week, whereas research shows that most people need eight or even eight and a half hours‟ sleep to feel at their best Nowadays, many people have got used to sleeping less than they need and they live in an almost permanent state of „sleep debt‟
Until the invention of the electric light in 1879 our daily cycle of sleep used to depend on the hours of daylight People would get up with the sun and go to bed at nightfall But nowadays our hours of sleep are mainly determined by our working hours (or our social life) and most people are woken up artificially by an alarm clock During the day caffeine, the world‟s most
Trang 77
popular drug, helps to keep us awake 75% of the world‟s population habitually consume
caffeine, which up to a point masks the symptoms of sleep deprivation
What does a chronic lack of sleep do to us? As well as making us irritable and unhappy
as humans, it also reduces our motivation and ability to work This has serious implications for society in general Doctors, for example, are often chronically sleep deprived, especially when they are on „night call‟, and may get less than three hours‟ sleep Lack of sleep can seriously impair their mood, judgment, and ability to take decisions Tired engineers, in the early hours of
the morning, made a series of mistakes with catastrophic results On our roads and motorways
lack of sleep kills thousands of people every year Tests show that a tired driver can be just as dangerous as a drunken driver However, driving when drunk is against the law but driving when exhausted isn‟t As Paul Martin says, it is very ironic that we admire people who function on very little sleep instead of criticizing them for being irresponsible Our world would be a much safer, happier place if everyone, whatever their job, slept eight hours a night

American movies create myths about college life in the United States These stories are entertaining, but they are not true You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college is really like
Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than they study Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library Instead, movies show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties While it
is true that American students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have
academic responsibilities In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard
Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity In fact, there
is a wide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater programs This variety allows students to choose what interests
them Even more important, after graduation, students‟ résumés look better to employers if they
list a few extracurricular activities
Trang 99
Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education If only this were true! While it is
true that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate
incomes Up to 80% of them get some type of financial aid Students from middle and lower-income families often work part-time throughout their college years There is one thing that many college students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies They have parents who think higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives
Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc Movies use these stereotypes, along with other myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all
So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies Look at
some college websites or brochures instead Take a walk around your local college campus Visit
a few classes True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you!
