I wonder if we'll ever figure it out truly.

It's kind of crazy to know that interrupting the brain's process can lead to something like that.

Insomnia is a condition where an individual has a very hard time getting to sleep or even staying asleep throughout the night. My question would be for the sleep stages and reading a EEG. How can you completely tell the difference between similar stages like 3 and 4?

However, looking at how long it took us to get this one done, I'm not sure anymore.

I also like the activity about writing what we believed in. It was nice to see what everyone put for those and helped me get to know you guys more.

My favorite so far has been perception and the way our brains take in things like optical illusions.

If you have an Iphone, it'll even keep a red dot on the app so you know to check.

I wonder what the instructions for those essays might be.

I find writing to be a lot easier when there's an example to go off of, or at least having an idea of things that I would like to incorporate or prevent getting into my writing after viewing others'.

If you're reading something and can tell that the writing is not fitting together or there's too many mistakes, you're likely to start catching them in your own writing as well. Tue, 06 Feb 2024 12:25:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/366157?scroll_to=3232292 https://nowcomment.com/documents/366157?scroll_to=3232292 King explains how writing is deeply connected to reading by using a past experience where he read a book, and witnessed there being an excessive use of a specific word. This reading experience made him think about how reading a lot helps the process of seeking out these kinds of mistakes in writing. Once the mistakes are caught, the writer can find better ways to tell whatever story they want without doing a massive disservice to themselves or the audience. In my own experience, I recently learned that there's been an increase in bad writing; people are starting to value quantity more than quality in not just the amount of books they produce, but the contents of them. I have seen many books receive ton of hype because of the authors relying on multiple tropes to drive the attention to their book. As I actually read them, I realize their writing suffered because they did not seem to be writing to tell a cohesive or even good story, just a popular one. Reading the many books that were badly written has only made it easier to recognize the authors that truly put time, care, and effort into their works. They don't write for the audience to gush about the main characters and their actions, but write for the audience to understand human complexity. This is why I completely agree with King on the idea that in order to become a good writer, you have to continue to read and put hard work into your craft.

I think during this time many people stopped finding ways to care for themselves which makes your tips of getting sleep, seeking professional help, and doing exercise very important.

I like the fact that you touched on the stress and anxiety that people were feeling when they realized their jobs were on the line. In very serious and tough situations such as this one, I believe the government should definitely find ways to ensure that people are able to maintain working, supporting themselves, and supporting their families.

In the article "COVID-19 pandemic triggers 25% increase in prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide", it was stated that majority of the provided services to mental health care were deeply disrupted which could even be shown in the results to usage of online services. Due to much of the support people received being online, it did not mean that everyone would be able to access it for their mental health. There were still plenty of people that either had no access to the internet, were in unsafe places where they could not express themselves truly, or were limited in their resources contributing to the increasing percentage of those with specific issues like anxiety and depression. In order to fix or at least make this issue less troublesome for those in need, organization and programs could give people the option to go to clinics and therapy sessions face-to-face, but masked. In addition, there could even be call centers established for people to talk to licensed psychiatrist anonymously if they wanted to.
