Sleep

I AM ALWAYS TIRED. I FEEL SO OUT OF CONTROL WHEN I AM TIRED. SAME FEELING I GET WHEN I TOO STRESSED AND WORRIED. I AM SO NOT ABLE TO SLEEP ENOUGH. NOT ABLE TO FIND NICE RELAXING SLEEP. I AM FEELING SO TIRED OF BEING SO TIRED ALL THE TIME. MAKES IT HARD TO SPELL. BUT I AM STILL ABLE TO WHICH MAKES ME ALWAYS GRATEFUL. HAPPY I FIND POSSIBLE SPELLING WHILE TIRED SO I CAN STILL TALK AND NOT BE TRAPPED IN SILENCE JUST BECAUSE I HAVE BAD SLEEP. HAPPY NOT SAD I MISS SCHOOL. I WAS ALWAYS EXHAUSTED AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ALWAYS BE IN CONTROL. NATURALLY ON A GOOD DAY AND A SLEEP HAD HAPPENED I STILL NOT WANTING TO GO TO SCHOOL BUT I AM ONLY SAYING IT IS HARD TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY WHEN I AM TIRED. I AM KNOWING A LOT OF SCIENCE BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET MORE SLEEP. I GUESS ALWAYS I AM A LEARNER SO I KNOW I AM GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT EVENTUALLY. NATURALLY SCIENCE WILL KNOW AGAIN WHAT TO DO. DAD AND I ARE DOING SLEEP EXPERIMENT TO SEE IF ROCK CLIMBING BEFORE MY GOING TO BED WILL HELP ME SLEEP BETTER. NICE TO GET TO DESIGN EXPERIMENT LIKE REAL SCIENTIST. BAD FEELING ALWAYS TIRED, I HOPE MY EXPERIMENT WORKS. 

Fox asked me to include this snippet of conversation where he and his dad designed the great sleep experiment:


Dad: any ideas?
Fox: NICE DAD TAKES ME ROCK CLIMBING EVERY NIGHT TO TIRE MY BODY OUT
D: Ok, an interesting idea.  Now how do we test it with the scientific method?
F: HYPOTHESIS IS ROCK CLIMBING EVERY NIGHT IS NEEDED FOR GOOD SLEEP
D: How do we test the hypothesis?
F: I AM THINKING WE TEST IT BY DOING TEN TRIALS
D: What does a trial entail?
F: A TRIAL IS I AM CLIMBING FOR ONE HOUR AT NIGHT
F: DATA COLLECTION OF HOW MANY MINUTES I SLEEP EACH NIGHT AFTER CLIMBING
D: Okay.  But how will we determine how many minutes you sleep each night?
F: DAD HAS A TIMER
D: Ok, so now we have collected some data.  What do we do with it?
F: AVERAGE OUT THE TIMES AND COMPARE TO CONTROL TIME
D: And what is the control time?
F: AVERAGE NOT CLIMBING SLEEP TIME 
D: How many days should we not climb
F: TEN SO IT IS SAME
D: Ok, that sounds good to me.  Is there anything else that we're missing?
F: NO I AM THINKING IT IS GOOD EXPERIMENT 
D: Ok, then we will give it a try sometime
F: I AM NOT ABLE TO CLIMB AT ALL FOR TEN DAYS?
D: How can we get that data?
F: I BE SAD TO NOT CLIMB FOR SO LONG
D: Well, you could change the number of days that you don't climb.  But then you should also change the number of days that you climb as well
F: OK I AM THINKING TEN IS GOOD I AM OK SLEEP EXPERIMENT IS IMPORTANT
D: Alright then, sounds like a pln
F: OK LEARNING IS A FUN THING

  1. Hi Fox. I also find sleeping very hard. It's great that you go climbing with your dad, and I especially love that you're thinking about experiments to show what works best for your body! I'm going to spend some time thinking about similar experiments to do for myself. Thanks for writing this blog!
