W7 : Insomnia

Today, the economic is continuously developing and improving, sadly people are having

 difficult with sleeping. They do not have enough time to sleep. They get more trouble in their life by

having lack of sleep. This is problem is known as insomnia. Twenty five percent of adults and 50% of

senior citizens have insomnia problem. As insomnia is so prevalent in the world, it isn't surprising that

social scientist are learning more about it cause they have found that insomnia can result from

medications, environmental factors, and significant stress.

            Although people are thinking that insomnia is neither serious nor hard to cure, so they do not

care about it or know how to cure it. In the first cause, people have problem of health such as asthma,

depression, and cancer. They cannot have good sleep like normal people. So they take medications that 

can help them cure their patient, on the other hand it effect to their sleep. Dr. Genevieve Belleville said

“ These medications are not candy, and taking them is far from harmless”. So they do not take too

much medications and find another ways to cure it.

            On the other hand, insomnia is one of the most crucial effect to their health. If people have          

insomnia, they will change their customs such as meals times, wake up, so it will effect exactly on their

health. They cannot eat and sleep on time.  Later, they have signs such as weight gain or weight lost,

high blood pressure, or heart disease. They have to know early how their health is effected  by

insomnia. It will  help them protect their health and make them to overcome insomnia.

            Not only medications but also environmental factors are the crucial cause of insomnia. When

they move houses or live near noisy streets, they will feel uncomfortable, so they will have lack of

sleep. On the other hand, they work with the changeable schedule, it cannot  make them difficult to

sleep. Specially, they sleep with uncomfortable temperature which makes them wake up early and have    

trouble going back to sleep. They have to find good environments to have good sleep, so environmental

factors effect importantly to have good sleep.

             However, the health effects of insomnia can impair their daily life and lose their friends,

family, and jobs. If they get insomnia, they will have irritability. It makes them easy to lose friend

family. Specially, when they do not sleep enough, they will have memory loss. It effects  their  job and 

relationship, because they do not do good jobs or remember important days of their family.  

Moreover, insomnia makes them lower self-esteem, they will have veins in their eyes, dark circle under

their eyes. As a result insomnia effects other issue dues.

             In addition some medications and environmental factors, significant life stress is the last cause.

People from all over the world, they almost have problems their jobs, life and family. They will

get stress and be unable to  sleep when they have to  solve problems before sleeping. Sometimes, they

lose their jobs and think about their future. They  will have a strong headache.  This is a list of reason

that can cause by having insomnia. Significant life stress is most effect their sleep.

              While they  being insomnia has more negative consequences, it makes their life decrease than

people than people who do not have insomnia. They do not have smooth mind, energy to do job, or

think about their family. According to the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research, vast number of

Americans report suffering from one or more nights of insomnia during any given year, but can

insomnia get so bad that you actually die from it? (2010). when they get insomnia a long time, they don

not have energy or smooth mind. Then, they will neither feel good nor do something for them. Finally,

they will go to death. Some people think that insomnia is not serious, and they do not see doctor. Until

they get more insomnia.

              To sum up, insomnia's cause is some medications, environmental factors, and significant life

stress. If people have problems  health, they will not have good sleep because of medications. On

the other hand, the environmental factors around them can cause insomnia. In addition, people have

problems their family, job, and money which effect to their sleep. Some people over come

W2 reading journal: The 2-Year-Old Smoker from Indonesia

http://english.kompas.com/read/2010/05/22/03461757/The.2-Year-Old.Smoker.from.Indonesia-5
In my country, we don't have law about the age of smoker, so everybody can start smoking early. I think some ASIA country like Indonesia have same problem. So I cre about the young smoker, and this article is about 2 -years -old smoker.He's from  a country where one third of the population is addicted to smoking and cigarettes can be bought for about a few cents. His father doesn't care about his health because he said,"I’m not worried about his health, he looks healthy,” Ardi Rizal started smoking when he was 18 months, and he's addicted now. Kids only play toys and eat candy, but Ardi Rixal wants to smoke cigarettes. He smokes an average of 40 cigarettes daily. His mom tries to stop bad habits, but she can't do it. When she didn't let him smoke, he cried and threw tantrums. They don't think why he can start smoking early, because they and their country are main reasons.  We can see a lot of adults who are around children will smoke. It's will dangeous for their kids, but they don't care.
" The government is aware of the impact of smoking on health and has taken efforts, including lowering cigarette production, increasing its tax and limiting smoking areas." I think it's good, but people in this country should be controlled by themselves.

The Bird's film introduce California perspectives.

5.     Read the following text from Journal of Environmental Health and think what “put…in perspective” means.

People tend to view factors that are beyond their control, such as pesticides on their food, as more menacing than known risks that they can control, such as smoking. In addition, most people find it difficult to place environmental risks in perspective, especially when the risk is relatively low. Clear communication and education are vital to help the public recognize the hazards, put them in perspective, and learn what can be done to reduce the risk to health.

Put sth in(to) perspective: to compare something to other things so that it can be accurately and fairly judged.

I think it means to help people know more about danger of their health, so they can control their habit to reduce the risk of health.
