Many people tend to put getting a good nights sleep to the back burner. This means that people tend to view sleep as not that important to them. They think it is fine and alright to not get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. I know it is sometimes hard to because of things going on in your life but, if you get 8 hours of sleep you will feel better the next day. If you lose 4 hours of sleep it produces as much impairment as a six-pack of beer. If you care about your work and how you feel throughout the day you need set sleep as a priority. Getting at least 8 hours of sleep is important to your every day life and your well-being.

I am super excited for Thanksgiving break to start up here soon because it is my favorite holiday. I enjoy getting to eat as much food as possible and watching the football games that are on. My plans for Thanksgiving break are to go home, relax, and spend time with family and friends. My grandparents are coming up from New Jersey for the holiday so I am super excited to see them. On Thanksgiving Day my friends and I will get together early in the morning and play in our annual Turkey Bowl. We enjoying doing this because we get to spend time together and we are still being physically active. After the Turkey Bowl game I will go home and spend the rest of the day celebrating Thanksgiving with my family. What are your plans for Thanksgiving break?

There are many reasons why people are not active during the winter months. Many people are not physically active to begin with and when the winter months come around more people continue to stay inactive because it is cold outside, there is snow on the ground, etc.. During the winter months there are many ways that you can remain active. One thing that I do is I go and play ice hockey with my friends. Ice hockey you are constantly moving and being active. A second activity I do during the winter months is that I go skiing. Every year my dad and I go skiing in Colorado for 10 days. Skiing is a great way to remain active throughout the winter months. What are some ways that you remain active throughout the winter months?
