After a suffocating semester that lasted for almost half of a year, the majority of students sailed to the different part of the country, while some stay on the Danfodiyo campus to spend their two weeks break.
The question is: what do you plan to achieve during this holiday?
Do you plan to watch different movies, oversleep or to achieve a targeted goal? Whatever the urge, make sure your body resonates with your heart.
Obviously, some planned to watch movies while others sought to recover from all the sleepless nights. Whichever schedule, remember every decision has a consequence!
Getting little rest can fight health deficiencies. Likewise, spending an excessive amount of time in bed is also linked with health hazards like depression, impaired brain function, heart disease among others.
According to Dr. Esra Tasali, a Sleep Medicine Specialist, says that regular oversleeping has been associated with a high risk of developing metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes.
Oversleeping can affect those who do not need extra time to sleep and those who regularly get more sleep than their body needs. For example, sleeping for 11 to 13 hours each night.
Meanwhile, obsession with movies from morrow till the nightfall provides no remedy.
Thus, engaging in something profitable that is worthy of pride may be yielding as beneficial. Also, if there is a topic or course that one doesn’t understand and those dealing with their project, a holiday is a better chance.
For an undergraduate who envisioned better performances in his academic career as well as the finalists dealing with their projects, holidays are a better chance to cover their minnows.
I might not fully support the idea of studying or reading books because it’s not friendly, especially if it’s not your hobby. Yet, don’t be discouraged by the statements of your counterpart. Try as much as you can, to get something done before the next semester. Coming semester emerges with a lot of attractive events on campus.
Tough, There’s is time for everything as I subscribe to a popular cliche that says “all work without play makes jack a dull boy.
