Why are you always tired?

Some people are so full of life and energy but for some reason even when you seem to get more than enough sleep, you are still fighting off yawns and fatigue throughout the day. So why are you always tired?

If you know the number of hours of sleep is not the problem, the second most common cause of fatigue comes from lack of physical activity and a poor diet. Study after study finds that adults who began light exercise a few times a week reported more energy after six weeks. People who exercise more regularly also report sleeping better. Even though studies show that they are not sleeping any longer. Even if that does not help, do not go straight to your cup of joe. While many studies show that coffee is good for your health, research shows that your reliance on it can make you more sleepy. Consuming coffee or energy drinks 6 hours before bed can ultimately affect your sleep quality. As a result, people often report feeling less tired in the morning. You might consider making sure you are fully hydrated with some water first too. Those glasses of wine or beer may also be affecting your day. Studies have found that after becoming intoxicated while test subjects would fall asleep faster, their quality of sleep was actually much lower, particularly during the second half of their night sleep. Ultimately alcohol reduces the amount of REM sleep you get. Also always be aware that a consistent sleep schedule is key.

To conclude this, always make sure you are drinking sufficient water, exercising regularly and sleeping at least 7-8 hours a day. This will help you get better sleep and you will not feel so tired all the time.

How to Prepare for your Future

Your school is planning a talk for young people. You have been asked to suggest a suitable topic for the talk.

I would suggest the school to give a talk about how to prepare for your future. This is because nowadays students do not know what they want to do in the future until the very last minute. To prevent this from happening, this talk will be able to guide and motivate them into choosing what they want to do that is relevant to their aspirations. It will also help them to focus and prepare for their future earlier.

Young people can prepare for their future by talking to their parents or a counsellor. Their parents or the counsellor can guide them and give them advice on what to do. Young people should not be influenced by their friends or family which career path they want to pursue in the future. This is because it is important to remember that a happy worker will always be more satisfied than one who is stuck in a career they do not like. They should do something they are passionate about as they are far more likely to stick with something if it aligns with their passions. 

They can also plan for their future by visiting career fairs and skill shows. Parents can bring their children to attend career fairs held annually. This will give young people an idea of what they would like to pursue or do in the future. This is because they will be given a chance to talk to an experienced teacher that can explain what the career path that they choose  is about. 

The organiser could also talk about the scholarships or schools that they are offering. Students often do not know when or how they should apply for scholarships. Through this talk, they will be able to learn what scholarships are being offered and how they should do it. They can also learn what school they should attend in the future that is suitable for the career path that they have chosen. This will enable students to not have such a hard time trying to figure out what to do.


What is one skill you think would be useful to you?

If you were given the opportunity to learn one skill free of charge, what skill do you think would be useful to you?

I think I would learn how to cook like a professional. With so many recipe sites and cooking skills how-to videos online, it is a surprise that everyone is not a master chef at this point. There are so many simple things that you can learn that can vastly improve your culinary skill set really quickly.

By learning how to cook professionally, I would not have to spend so much money by going to fancy 5-star restaurants just to eat a delicacy. I could just buy the ingredients that are needed to make the dish and cook it at home at my own comfort. This will save me a lot of money and time. You will not need to decide between cheap Chinese or pizza delivery either. 

You will also have the advantage of knowing exactly what is in your food. When we go out to eat, we order the food without knowing what is inside our food. This is why eating out leads to a higher percentage of people getting food poisoning. By learning how to cook, we can buy our own ingredients and make our own dish which will be much more healthier than going out to eat because we know what we are consuming. This will make you eat healthier without even trying.

You will be able to impress your friends and family by learning how to cook professionally. Not everyone can acquire such a skill and they could end up burning the house if they were not careful. You would be able to make them their favourite food whenever they want. During their birthdays, you could bake them a cake instead of buying a cake from the bakery. It will save us a lot of hassle. 

How can disciplinary problems in schools be solved

How can disciplinary problems in schools be solved? Propose a few ways to solve the problem.

Schools have the responsibility to provide educational foundation and lead the students a successful independent and successful lives. However nowadays there is an increase in disciplinary problems among students in the classroom and that can cause hurdles to achieve the desired goals. Some students cause a lot of trouble in school because they do not know the proper adequate on how to behave in a classroom. This is caused by the lack of attention from their parents at a very young age. This is why teachers play an important role to educate them. How to maintain discipline in school and a classroom for effective learning environment is an important task for all teachers. 

One way to solve disciplinary problems in school is the teachers should keep their students engaged. The more engaged the students are in learning, the less they will cause problems. Teachers must let their passion for teaching show and make the subject come alive. Teachers should not just lecture all day because some students lack the attention span to focus. To overcome this problem, teachers can try getting students involve in the subject. They can do so by getting the students to answer and ask questions. 

Another way to solve disciplinary problems is to establish structure first. Some teachers have a whole list of exciting activities that they want to do with their students, but instead they should save the less structured activities until the students are used to the teacher's expectations and are doing well with a more structured environment. If they start teaching with less structured activities, some student might assume that the teacher is very lenient and will start disobeying the teacher. Therefore, the students should get used to a more structured environment because once they understand structure, everyone should be able to enjoy a less structured activity while still maintaining control.

Teachers could also solve disciplinary problems by setting a set of rules for behaviour in the classroom. Agree the number of warnings students will receive before they 'earn' a punishment. Once the limit is reached, the student should be punished. If the student continues to have behaviour problems, the teachers should send the student for counselling. The counselling teachers could help out by trying to dissect the problem and helping the student. They can give the student advice on what they should and should not do when in a classroom.

The indisciplinary cases must be stopped or cut at the nip of the bud. As parents, they want their children to enjoy learning in school. An adage which says "School is our second home" must be instilled in the minds of every student. Let us make our school a place of interesting and enjoyable activities.
