Why Should University Students Be Stricter Regulations Against Entertainment At Night?
Sleep, known as an important way to refresh people, plays a significant role in people’s life. Nevertheless, compared with nine hours of sleep in 1910, people’s average sleeping time in 2002 is dramatically decreased to 7 hours a day (Wilson, 2005). Worse still, there is no exception for university students. 70.6% of university students slept for less than 8 hours, which are their advised sleeping hours (Hershner & Chervin, 2014). 50% of them consequently experienced daytime sleepiness and 60% of them felt tired or sleepy at least 3 days a week (Hershner & Chervin, 2014). There is no denying that university students’ lack of sleep is therefore a serious problem; however, it is not ineluctable and may fortunately be solved by stricter university

Firstly, as is demonstrated by Kima and other scientists (2010), access may be an invitation of heavy Internet use. Universities can therefore block websites where computer games and videos for entertainment are accessible at night. Secondly, student activities after midnight can be cancelled. Since some students are forced to stay up due to club activities late in the night, not only can this action release students’ burden, but also make it possible for students to sleep earlier. Ultimately, universities can prohibit students from leaving campus after midnight without permission. With the above regulations, some students may sleep instead of unconscionable entertainment on account of the absence of …show more content…
In fact, for some people, a nap is no worse than a night-time sleep when it comes to refreshing themselves (‘You asked: Is”, 2014). However, university students are busy with academic work during the day, having no time to spare for a nap. Furthermore, the effect of napping varies from person to person. That is to say for people who are not a born nappers or don’t have the habit of napping, he or she may feel even more lethargic after a nap (‘You asked: Is”, 2014). With regard to the last solution, it can concurrently benefit more than one person. Meanwhile, university students are in touch with their friends during the process, thus synchronously strengthening the friendship. On the other hand, this solution may cause students’ dependence on their friends (Association for Psychological Science, 2013).
To conclude, stricter university regulations can solve the problem quickly but may not have a permanent effect. A daytime nap compensates the lack of sleep in some degree but students may not be willing to sacrifice their academic work or club activities for a nap. Friend’s help may be the best choice, for it can let students have adequate sleep and an intimate friendship simultaneously. Most importantly, this effect can relatively last for a long time. With the joint effort of university students and their friends, they may get enough sleep in the future and enjoy an energetic
