Extensive Reading Activity: Insomnia

Question 2

Many people suffer from insomnia, which is a sleep disorder where the sufferer has difficulty falling asleep. This condition can bring about many health problems. What do you suggest they do? How do you think your suggestions will be able to help them?

Answer:

Insomnia has become quite common these days, in most of the cases, it was due to a hectic schedule we all are having. I myself are facing the same problem and it was up to a point where it has become very concerning. The average hours of sleep I am getting in a day was between 2 to 4 hours where normal hours of sleep for an adult is 6 to 7 hours a day. Through a lot of reading and a little bit of research, I found many ways to combat Insomnia, however only some of the methods I found works effectively on me. I find reducing the intake of nicotine and caffeine really helps. It was hard for me as I am a heavy smoker and I love coffee. What I did was to ensure that I stop taking coffee after 6pm and no cigarettes 2 hours before bed. Waking up at the same time every day is also a good way to overcome insomnia, as my mind is set to wake up at that particular time and subconsciously, it will get me ready to go to sleep accordingly. I know that it isn't much, but those two were the methods I found very effective for me to overcome my insomnia and I hope it helps everyone out there who ware facing the same disorder.

The narrator stated that she can hear the ghostly couple talking to each other and was looking for something as it was clearly stated in this line:  ‘Here we left it,’ she said. And he added, ‘Oh, but here too!’ ‘It’s upstairs,’ she murmured. ‘And in the garden,’ he whispered. ‘Quietly,’ they said, ‘or we shall wake them. ’ The way the narrator describe the ghostly couple was as if they were reminiscing their time together living in that house while searching for the buried treasure they left. The ghostly couple never appear physically or visually to the narrator. She just felt their presence through sound of a door shutting, or any creaking sound the house made. She had this feeling going on for quite sometim...

Personal Reading Log Assessment 2: The Necklace The story was about Madame Loisel attending a ball with her husband and wanted to look her best for that night. She went through the distance in her effort to get the look she desired and have borrowed a necklace from her friend, Madame Forestier. Unfortunately, at the end of the event, she lost the necklace and this is where her action has set course for the story and had cost her dearly. If she had been honest with Madame Forestier that she had lost the necklace instead of buying a new one, she would have learned that the necklace she borrowed was made of fake diamond. She went through hardship for so long until it impacted her physically and mentally just to pay off the debt that she made to replace the necklace. All of that, only to later discover that the necklace she had lost was a fake and cost, not even a fraction of what she had paid for the replacement.
