Avatar f tn I have a 20 month old and am expecting my second baby in four weeks:) I've been in college since September and will be going right through until next April. I'm going to be honest it takes a lot of hard work and dedication but it is possible. Make sure to talk to your professors as soon as you can so that you can set up some sort of plan for after the baby is born. Good luck!
Avatar m tn s not much she can do to totally escape the sensory overload. Young people are amazingly resilient and some go all thru college with inadequate and irregular sleep. But if she indicates the being stuck scenario, suggest she modify her schedule for a few days and arrange a few hours here and there of total down time. Remind her that sleep is critical to her cognitive abilities and memory, and to be kind to herself so that her body and mind are equipped to handle a busy lifestyle.
Avatar n tn He is in his last year of college and has expressed some concern over his loss of concentration, but it is unclear what caused the condition to begin. We also looked into a sleep disorder. In his initial visit it was discovered that he was not going through a REM cycle. The sleep doctor decided that his "clock" was off and would have to be reset. (Like many college students, he would often keep late hours).

1926359 tn?1331588139 Hi Y'all so I'm on day 6 of detox and have had a grand total of 5 hours sleep in 5 nights. I have sleep meds that I've been on for years that I plan to wean off of after this-obviously they aren't helping me out. My problem is I have auto immune illness that is triggered by lack of sleep and I'm feeling a flare coming on. Can I take Melotonin with zoplicone? will it help? or should I just stop taking the zoplicone as it isn't working and use the Melatonin.
1794093 tn?1357930759 I definitely understand the sleep deprivation. It really ***** :( I work overnights and have a terrible time trying to sleep during the morning/afternoons. Im also up every hour, or hour and a half, then still manage to work/do things around the house. I always thought the 2nd trimester was supposed to be the best, sure i dont feel sick anymore, but this has been brutal for sleep. Thats exciting about your ultrasound coming up, and really exciting that you are not finding out the gender!
Avatar f tn As a teenager I went through a year of sleep deprivation. I got about six hours of sleep a night. I felt very sleepy every day and even had feelings of confusion and derealization. Did I cause any permanent damage to my brain? In addition, has damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals irreversibly increased my cancer risk?
Avatar m tn what are the college students risks? i cant seem to find it on the internet although i do see the leading cases are between the ages of 13 -24...but what is the latest statistic on college campuses among races?
Avatar m tn Hi and welcome, The symptoms you've mentioned are very non specific, too wide spread, random, all peripherals which are not the types of symptom pattern that is suggestive or consistent with a neurological condition like MS. Its not uncommon to experience higher stress levels when significant life altering events are happening, the closer the event the higher the anxiety.
Avatar f tn Patmers that are in college how did you guys do presentations? How did they go? I have two coming up. or anybody that has effectively reduced their reactions greatly. Please help me out with effective tips Starving myself doesn't work.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend and I are in college, and he's in a pretty intensive program, so he often stays up all night to get work done. Last night he did just that. When I woke up I asked him if he wanted to go get coffee, and despite his exhaustion he said yes, so I picked him up. As I drove I was talking about our weekend plans and how excited I was. He looked at me and said he couldn't hang out with me, he was hanging out with Joanna. Well that was weird, bc I am Joanna.
Avatar f tn College day cares are normally students who are getting their masters in child development. I would ask all kinds of questions like how often they have tummy time, how they put baby to sleep(because many put them to sleep with a bottle which is a big no no!
Avatar m tn http://www.infowars.com/students-sign-petition-to-have-gun-owners-executed-in-concentration-camps/ I don't like Alex Jones, I think he is a tool but I find some videos he posts funny. Well this video is one of a guy getting college kids to sign to repeal the 2nd amendment. College kids are idiots.
Avatar m tn Yes it's true it actually is me, I've been dealing with depression for a long time and I think that's why I excessively masturbate. I've been having a lot of problems going on at my home. In my religion it's not good to masturbate. I'm currently in college but I still live in my house and I don't want to tell anyone about me excessively masturbating because they'll be really ashamed of me. I'm afraid my mom might have a heart attack if she finds out.
620048 tn?1358018235 t even sleep in the same bed with me because I toss and turn and kick, even with sleep meds. I have no idea when I'm doing it and think I sleep well, but wake up exhausted and can barely stay awake all day. I have a sleep study next week. I agree with the others, switch doctors!!!! Everyone deserves sleep!
Avatar f tn Are you in sports? Calories for college students vary because of differences in physical activity. Make sure your diet is mostly whole foods including low-fat dairy, whole-grains, lean protein, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and healthy oils. Don't skip breakfast. Don't get in the habit of staying up late, then rush to get to class. You need food to get your metabolism up, your energy levels will be low and you'll be starving and likely to overeat by lunch.
Avatar n tn They gave me 4 times the dose of what I was suppose to have- 100 lb. woman. I am having severe sleep deprivation from this, night sweats and the shakes. How do I get my sleep habits back? I am waking up every hour! I am due to have surgery in a few days and am afraid that I am going to wake up during the procedure. I need help, what do i do? Thank you!
1542305 tn?1293169772 Insufficient or poor quality sleep that leads to chronic sleep deprivation can skew dreaming. As my sleep deprivation worsened, so did my my dreaming as I was going to sleep. Still do it, but it is less glaringly odd to me now.
10626389 tn?1412006663 Hey guys! I'm a senior in college this year and I seem to be struggling with my weight. Ever since I transfered to a further campus, I've slowly started packing on the pounds. I don't have access to home-cooked meals, just what they serve in the dining hall or take out/frozen foods. I've recently stopped drinking soda and cut down on the coffee. I try to stay active sad eat more fruits and veggies. But I still get munchies for junk food.
Avatar n tn Students often stop eating vegetables and get very depleted in vitamins and minerals. You can really tax your body when you are trying to study and use your brain, but you don't have the right fuel. You need to eat vegetables, some fruit, and lean meat, not junk convenience food. Get some sunshine also!

Avatar f tn I was pregnant my junior year of college, I went full time during my pregnancy and only took 2 classes after my son was born. So now, I took some summer classes to catch up what I missed last semester, and going back full time in the fall and will be graduating next spring with my bachelor's degree. It's not impossible to go to school AND be a mom, but it is hard, especially if you have a job to juggle in there.
Avatar f tn SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- When the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offered its first free online course this spring, Ashwith Rego jumped at the chance to learn from some of the world's leading researchers — without leaving his home in India. "I never imagined that I would be taught by professors from MIT, let alone for free," said the 24-year-old engineer who works in Bangalore.
148588 tn?1465778809 let us be clear, most of the students who graduated college in debt are highly qualified and are college material. the point is that charging high interest on loans for students discourages education for all but ESP. for low income students.
Avatar n tn I am in a similar boat. I made some crazy mistakes in college and have put myself at risk because of it. All of us had been in college and I'm 20 currently. some of the guys I'd been with between 18 or my age. I'd been told everyone had testing done and that they were negative. I'm going to get tested today but I'm scared out of my mind.
