Being a successful student does not limit you on studying alone. Instead, you should learn to socialize and learn with other people around you. You may also participate in group studies that may benefit you.
The advantages of group studies are:
1. Efficiency in getting your questions answered;
Students usually research on the internet for some information that they could not understand. The internet has a diverse range of information to explore but unfortunately, some problems and lessons given by the professors may not be explicitly found in the Web. Through group studies, you can immediately question the other members about the topic, which is much efficient than searching the answer for hours.
2. Enhanced problem-solving skills; and
As stated earlier, some of the questions remain unanswered until we ask others. By group studying, it would be possible that all will participate in solving difficult problems. Thus, everybody will learn all the necessary steps and strategies needed to effectively answer, for example, an Accounting problem. This will also help you in your future field for you will face numerous real-life problems.
3. Improved teamwork.
There are certain skills and values that can only be gained through working with other people. Studying with your peers will not only boost your grades, but also develop friendship within your group.
Certain cautions, however, are imposed with socializing.
1. Do not compare yourself with other people.
Comparing yourself with others may sometimes benefit you in terms of benchmarking; but most of the time, it leads to negative feelings, especially depression. There will always be someone who is better than you in different fields, and you have to accept that. Instead of doing comparisons, spend the time to overcome your weaknesses and try to become a better person.
2. Avoid the pessimistic.
Pessimistic people will never lead you to your path of success. They will only lower your self-esteem and will make you doubt your capabilities. Thus, find an optimistic set of friends who will cheer you up and fight with you as you face stress and problems in school.
A successful student does not only stop in the fifth of this book. This is always neglected, but this is actually one of the most important steps in having an ace.
It may be done in two circumstances.
1. Taking a break.
Taking a break, as stated in the third of this book, helps you to relax and give your mind a space. While studying, do not hesitate in taking occasional breaks. Eat and drink what you want. Listen to calming and relaxing music.
This may also take place during weekend, after a week’s hardwork. To keep you motivated, do your hobbies, engage in your interests, and go out for a walk or dinner with your loved ones. This is a promise of motivation for another busy week. Moreover, it will serve as your weekly reward for yourself.
2. Rewarding yourself after accomplishing your goals.
Never forget to reward yourself after all the effort and time spent to achieve your desired results. The goal itself is a very rewarding gift to yourself, but do something fun afterwards. Taking a vacation, for example, after reaching your long-term goal is a perfect example of your fruit of labor. This will not only make the journey more worth it, but it will also inspire and motivate you to set a higher goal for a better you.

Nothing is quite as energizing as a good night’s sleep. It’s a chance to relax the body and mind, recharge, and get ready for another hectic day ahead. It’s an opportunity to
dream
, to give free reign to one’s fantasies, and get in touch with subconscious desires.
Unfortunately, not everyone can get the restful sleep they desire. Sleep disorders abound and among them are
Night Terrors
.
This aims to shed light on the nature of this disorder, determine its prevalence in the population, and examine its possible causes.
What Are Night Terrors?
Night terrors are a type of sleep disorder specifically classified as a
parasomnia
.
The term “parasomnia” refers to a category of sleep disorders that involve abnormal events during sleep and the transition into wakefulness. This can include strange behavior, movements, dreams, perceptions, and emotions.
With night terrors, these strange behaviors are brought about by an intense feeling of fear. A person who is affected by the disorder experiences partially waking up and feeling terrified.
The fear manifests itself in a variety of ways for different people. Episodes typically include suddenly sitting up in bed, crying, and screaming. Many thrash and kick, all the while shouting and mumbling things that no one else can understand. Signs of panic are usually evident, such as a racing heart, heavy breathing, and excessive sweating.
Some even develop the tendency to sleepwalk, although this is more frequently observed in adults, rather than children. There have been instances of people bolting out of bed, running around their homes, and even committing acts of violence.
This sleep disorder can cause harm not only to the person who is affected, but also to the individuals around them.
It may be difficult to wake someone up when they are having an episode of night terrors. Because they are moving around, making so much noise, and have their eyes open, they might seem awake, but they actually aren’t. They are still partly asleep and are not fully aware of their surroundings. They will not respond to comfort and reasoning from those who are around them during an episode. This inconsolability is a defining characteristic of night terrors.
When a person actually wakes up from an episode, they are usually confused and do not know what is going on. Calming someone down after an episode can take a long time. In many instances, a person never wakes up fully and simply returns to sleep after an episode.
It is not unusual for a person to have no memory of the episode at all. Some can remember bits and pieces of dreams that usually involve a lot of danger; others just retain a vague sense of terror.
Night terrors are also referred to as
pavor nocturnus
or
sleep terror disorder
.
Who Gets Night Terrors?
According to the 4
th
edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) released by the American Psychiatric Association, an estimated 1-6% of children experience night terrors at some point. Those with recurring episodes are even fewer in number. They also estimate the number of affected adults to be less than 1% of the population.
The statistics by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine are slightly higher, with 6.5% for children and 2.2% of adults.
Although the numbers are not quite identical, the deviation is minimal and it is clear that children are much more likely to experience night terrors compared to adults.
The disorder occurs most commonly in children who are 3-12 years old. The average age of onset is 3½ years old. It is quite rare for night terrors to persist beyond 12 years of age.
Night terrors seem to affect more young boys than girls. Some studies suggest that preadolescent boys are the most commonly affected age group. Research has shown that boys aged 5-7 years old are most susceptible.
In children, night terrors are not linked to psychological disorders. This is not the case for adults.
Most adults who experience night terrors also suffer from some sort of psychological disorder. It is usually linked to post-traumatic, anxiety, and personality disorders.
For some individuals, night terrors first manifest in childhood, and then persist until adulthood. However, these cases are relatively rare. Most adults with the disorder begin experiencing it around their 20’s or 30’s.
In adults, there seems to be no bias in gender. The disorder affects both men and women equally.
There has been no conclusive data on the disorder’s rate of occurrence in varying ethnic groups and races.
What Causes Night Terrors?
Researchers have not yet conclusively identified the cause of night terrors. No one knows why it affects certain individuals and not others, although there are certain factors that seem to increase the risk of having the disorder, such as psychological stress or sleep deprivation. These will be discussed in detail in 2.
It has been suggested that in children, night terrors are caused by a delay in the development of the central nervous system. Others argue that this is not the case; night terrors are just a normal part of the nervous system’s development, not the sign of a problem.
Either way, both these arguments emphasize the activation of the fight-or-flight response at the wrong moments.
In adults, the possible causes of the disorder are quite different.
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, substance abuse (particularly with alcohol), are a possible cause. They also proposed that night terrors are not just
linked
to other psychological condition; they are actually
caused
by them.
Psychological disorders that may cause night terrors include:
- Bipolar disorder
- General anxiety disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder, and
- Depressive disorders
When and for How Long Do Night Terrors Occur?
There are two types of sleep:
REM
or rapid eye movement sleep, and
NREM
or non-rapid eye movement sleep. Additionally, NREM has four stages. During a normal sleep cycle, these stages progress from stage 1-4.
Night terrors usually occur about 90 minutes after sleep. This coincides with the transition from stage 3 to 4 of NREM.
Although night terrors frequently occur during nighttime sleep (hence the name “
night
terrors”), they can also occur during daytime naps.
Each episode typically lasts around 10 to 30 minutes. Episodes that frequently go beyond 30 minutes should be brought to the attention of a physician.
Usually, only one episode occurs in a night, but exemptions do exist. Some people suffer from clusters of episodes. It is atypical, but possible. There have been reports of individuals suffering more than 40 episodes in one night.
Cases like this are very rare. Majority of those with the disorder only experience night terrors once a week or a few times a month.
