Enough Sleep for a Better Health

As we know that nowadays, people are becoming busier that they even cut off their time to sleep. Some are used to work all-night long, and some are used to sleep only for a few hours. Even a lot of teenagers dare to cut off their time to sleep only to play video games and online games or to do home works and to study for the examinations.

 There are various thoughts that made people dare not to sleep. Some people thought that as long as they sleep for a few hours, it will not affect their health. Those who are daily caffeine consumers thought that drinking caffeine early in the evening would not affect their sleeping habits. Some teenagers would think that it is okay to sleep only for a few hours when it’s week days, while in the week ends, they would sleep as much as possible.

In fact, we all need a proper sleep in order to be healthy and fit. Our body needs enough time to take a rest after so many activities. If we have bad sleeping habits (lack of sleep / sleeping late at night), later on we could have problems in falling asleep, or worse, having insomnia. Drinking caffeine early in the evening is not good because it increases the possibility of having problems in falling asleep. In order to have a good sleeping habit, we have to schedule our sleep and we have to at least sleep for 8 hours.

Beware of Dangerous Drugs!

 If we heard about “drugs”, we must know well about it. Nicotine, steroids ... all of them was drugs. In Indonesia alone, drugs users were everywhere to be found. Nowadays, even teenagers have become drug users.

In our own ration, we have laws about ‘banned’ drugs. Although we have it, there are still many people who used those drugs. It can be said that foreign people had influenced Indonesian. They thought that Indonesia was an easy place to sell the drugs.

Indonesian people tend to think that using steroids will add their stamina. The statement is true, but it is not right to use steroids as it may cause people to depend to it and it can destroy human body if it is used constantly.

As a young generation of this ration, we must avoid ‘banned’ drugs. Taking ‘banned’ drugs was not good for our health. It is not only reducing our health, but also our motoric system. When we use dangerous drugs, we will keep depending to it, or we can say we will get addicted to it. When we can’t consume it, pain and other negative effects like hallucination, nausea, numbness, etc. will occur. On top of that, ‘banned’ drugs are usually very expensive. If we can’t afford to buy it, those drugs can drive us insane. It may ‘excuse’ people to buy those drugs again.

When, we have become addicted to drugs, it is recommended to go through rehabilitation. It will cost a lot of money, and suffer us physically. You must never try dangerous drugs. Its negative effects are horrible. We must defend our future from drugs. Avoid it and live your life to the fullest, so you’ll never regret it later.
