Description
ASSIGNMENT: First, choose a problematic issue in need of a solution. This doesn't have to be a huge, world-wide problem, but it should be something public that affects enough people that you'll be able to research it thoroughly through a variety of sources. Ideally, this problematic issue in need of a solution should be something that you’re personally interested in/affected by and that perplexes you (i.e., something that you don't already have a solution for). It could be something from your field of study, a contemporary social issue, or something that affects a community to which you belong. You'll be keeping this topic for the final essay in the course, so keep that in mind when choosing your topic for this essay.
Next, begin researching your topic with the goal of refining your understanding of it and resolving your perplexity. (It’s OK if you’re still a little perplexed at the end.) As you conduct your research, write an open-form, first-person, chronologically-organized narrative of how your thinking on the topic is developing. The purpose of this essay isn’t to persuade anyone of your point of view (save that for the final paper), but to bring your reader along with you through your research process as you try to understand the different points of view associated with the issue.
SOURCES: Your paper must cite at least eight sources, but you’ll probably look at many more as you develop your viewpoint on your topic. Four of these sources must be available through the FIU Library's online resources or physical holdings. You can look at Wikipedia and things that come up on Google, but you’ll need to back those unreliable sources up with reliable ones from the library. Finally, make sure that your paper considers multiple solutions or points of view on your issue. The essential task here is to “try on” different ideas as your thinking evolves, to see which one best fits the facts as you understand them.

Sleep Deprivation
Sleep deprivation refers to a state in which a person is not having enough sleep. The
deprivation condition can either be acute or chronic. When the condition is acute, it causes
daytime sleepiness, fatigue, weight gain, clumsiness and weight loss. Moreover, sleep
deprivation adversely the function of cognation and the general working of the brain. On the
other hand, in some cases, the condition can lead to increased alertness, enhanced moods and
increased energy; thus, sometimes used as a depression treatment. Some researchers have created
a comparison between a sleep restriction that is chronically partial (Colten and Altevogt 45).
Symptoms of sleep deprivation include mood changes, sleepiness, thinking and memory
issues, paranoia, hallucination, disorientation, somatic complains, pain and the general disruption
of the cycle of sleep. Research have indicated that symptoms resulting from sleep deprivation
can range from commonplace and expected symptoms, such as sleepiness to serious complaints
such as memory problems, hallucinations and severe complaints of pain. There are two major
factors that determines the extend of the symptom severity. First, symptoms of sleep deprivation
are greatly suffered when a person is spending more time awake. For example, watching a
favorite TV show is much unlike spending four hours sleeping. This is even more difficult when
a sleep deprivation happens for several consecutive nights. Secondly, the circadian clock
determines the symptoms intensity. This is to imply that sleep deprivation symptoms are more
pronounced during the night hours. It is also worth noting that the symptoms are more severe
during mid-afternoons when the circadian signal dips. Moreover, subjection to sleep deprivation
results to compromise state of being active, decreased alertness and health consequences such as
obesity. The personal need of sleep by an individual may be determine the sleep deprivation
threshold even though sleeping for fewer hours inevitably cause sleep deprivation. Feeling
sleepy is the most common symptom of sleep deprivation. being sleepy is characterized by
drowsiness where a person feels a strong desire to sleep. Moreover, sleepiness may also be
characterized by a deep sense of fatigue or feeling run down. Sleep deprivation may also lead to
a fast change in moods such as being short-tempered or feeling irritable. This the opposite of the
effects of a deep night’s sleep; providing great mood in the morning. These moods may move
from transient negative or positive attitude to serious problems, such as depression and anxiety.
There is a rich interplay between sleep and psychiatric conditions because their sympto...
