My Internal Clock. Some of us still think that we control our body clock choosing when to fall asleep and wake up. It turns out, we’re absolutely wrong as our inner clock is more than just our preferences, no matter if a person is an owl or a lark. Our body clock is in our genes. A plenty of factors might impact our concentration, mood, weight, reaction time and many other things. If we ignore what our body is trying to tell us, we might run the risk of seriously damaging our health. We can’t think that having a regular sleep pattern or eating at the same time every day is boring and predictable as it prevents us from a lot of diseases. Following our schedule, we’ll always feel energetic and alert. Unfortunately, I rarely listen to my body clock due to my University schedule. I have to wake up at 5:40 not to be late for lectures and sometimes I go to bed at 1 AM because of my activities and homework. Obviously, I don’t really have a regular sleep pattern as I sleep no more than 5-6 hours. As a result, during the day, I sometimes feel very tired and dream of taking a 30-minute nap after getting home from University. Surprisingly, when I arrive home, my desire to take a nap immediately vanishes and I can’t deal with it, but I have a strong desire to dull the edge of my appetite instead. I guess eating at the same time every day is the only rule that I’m following as I can’t imagine how some people forget to have breakfast or dinner, it just breaks my mind. Feeling full, I often do my homework as I imagine that nutrients that I’ve just absorbed, help me better think and concentrate on my studies. While I attend activities, I forget that I was tired as I’m really enthusiastic about things that fascinate me, but after coming home at 8 PM, I realize that I’m fully exhausted and want to fall asleep just right in a hallway. However, I can’t allow myself to do this as I have to finish the rest of my homework and prepare meals for the next day. At 12 AM I’m completely done and go to sleep. I perfectly know my lifestyle is not great and I need to force myself to keep my eyes open most of the time, but I try to sleep 10 hours on the weekend and charge myself with energy for the next 5 days of hard work.
