Normally, when a student hears the word “documentary” he or she automatically signs at the thought of an educational video, but Fully Charged changed my mind on documentaries forever. Fully Charged was extremely helpful in teaching me about the health and community wellness field. When watching a documentary that I find beneficial in my future career I can’t help, but to have complete focus on the movie. I found it’s easier to focus on a documentary when a person has an interest in the subject the movie is covering. For me, Fully Charged had me feeling happy, sad, and exciting hearing the people’s different testimonies. Fully Charged is a documentary by Tom Rath.

In today’s society, we think our bodies don’t need sleep, which is the number one source for humans to get energy. People rely on coffee and other energy drinks for us to keep going every day. They did a study on soldier’s sleeping habits and saw that less accidents happened when the soldiers were well rested. Lieutenant General Patricia Horoho said it best when she said to treat sleep as an investment meaning don’t take sleep for granted. Lieutenant General Patricia Horoho values sleep so much she likes to call it the game changer for people, who want more energy. A company by the name, Salio, were monitored for up to 7 months, when they gave their workers treadmill desks. The study showed that the workers energy levels increased and the workers burned extra calories. I never thought it this way, but it also told us that sitting for two hours cancels out 20 minutes of working out because it creates a 90 percent decrease in enzymes that are used to burn our fat. That was super shocking to me because after working out I always shower and watch television or do something lazy because I feel like I can since I worked out. It was also founded that children that walked to school did better on tests that day. I wish I knew these things as a child because when I was younger nobody really informed me on health living styles. My favorite story of the whole

In the article "The Hunger in Our Heads", by Gretchen Reynolds, scientists from the University of Alabama experimented with thirty-eight college students to see if high blood flows could reduce the urge to overeat. The experiment found that half of the students who exercised for fifteen minutes consumed less calories than before. However, the other half of students who did not do any intensive exercise consumed more calories. The report does seem plausible. However, there were limitations such as the experiment only took place during lunch time and the exercise only involved running on treadmills.

The victims impact panel was through, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). The instructor was demanding, stern, and wanted all eyes to focus their attention to the video, power point, lecture, and the victim’s impact stories. At first, the way the instructor was speaking, made her appear as rude and very unpleasant to listen too. However, once she played the video and started getting into detail about what MADD is, and all the statistics on drunk driving made her tone of voice understandable. For instance, the instructor explained the mission of MADD, which is to eliminate drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes, and prevent underage drinking.

This documentary was about first-generation college students at K-State University and basically how they were able to adjust to college and discover what they wanted to do which for all of them was become a teacher. There are nine different stories on nine different people listing the obstacles they had to go through and basically what lead them to discovering themselves and becoming the person that they are today.

With exceptional haste we begin to recite our knowledge of the human mind. As is stated in The Twenty-Four Hour Mind by Rosalind D. Cartwright, sleep allows our brain to consolidate our experiences and memories of the day (Cartwright 30) while we lay in a semi-vegetative state (Cartwright iix). The consequences of lack of sleep are evident in studies performed on individuals who suffer from insomnia. In “Sleep in the Workplace: What the Psychologist-Manager Should Know About Sleep”, the article highlights the cognitive effects that lack of sleep can have on an individual including impaired working memory, learning capability, and decision-making (Gaulltney & Collins-McNeil 135). Our rational mind dismisses Murakami’s obvious fictional short story and dismounts every claim that a human could survive without sleep.

Sleep deprivation is the lack of sleep needed to function to full potential. While college is known for staying up all night, and cramming for exams, this term of sleep deprivation is starting to take a serious toll. Over the years the sleeping patterns of students attending college and universities has changed dramatically. Studies show that as time goes on the average night of sleep students are getting is decreasing drastically (Jensen, 2003). The way students are falling into this lack of sleep are by forming an irregular sleep-wake cycle, which consists of getting little to no sleep during the week, then on weekends catching up on all the missed sleep.
