It is sad when sleep becomes one’s “hobby”.
sobs i bet the teenager probably stays really far from her sch or smth
Even if you finish all your work by 10pm you'll end up using your phone till the late hours of the night because you had no free time to do so earlier. It's not just about going to bed earlier, it's about striking that work-life balance while awake. Pretty hard to achieve that with gruelling school/work schedules.
Skip CCA + Ignore homework. Learn at your own pace.
How to sleep well in Singapore when you have unreasonable bosses.
How tf can we have 8 hrs of sleep if we need to wake up at 5am. You need to sleep at 9pm! Quite impossible
she’s just 13?? i’m 17 and i sleep for 4 hours a day as a student. i honestly think if theres a chance , i would want to throw away my homework.

There is a choice. You don't need to always finish it.
Watch video on bed time :sleep at 3am Read your book:not even 15mins you already snoring🤣
i think her school need to look at why her CCA ends at 19:30hrs, and maybe rules preventing CCA from taking too much of a students day, and having the option to skip them without penalty if they have too much homework.
Stop comparing sg to New Zealand! Ppl living there don’t work after 6pm and retail shops at there before 7pm
It might also just be metabolic, I was over exercising, under eating and not getting enough carbs which resulted in several nutritional deficiencies after 6 years etc (thought I was being healthy, felt great in the initial years) unknowingly I was putting my body in a catabolic state which will cause the body to stay awake and alert, as it is meant to. Think about what you are doing and what messages you are sending to your central nervous system via the way you eat exercise and live...you might be putting your body in survival mode and its simply doing what its meant to be doing. I cut back and changed the way I exercise opting for more anabolic promoting activities with ample recovery time, ate more frequent balanced meals and also allowed myself to take naps. It has taken a long time for my body to balance out and recover, I now don't even need to bother with or think about sleep hygiene, I get tired and sleep. I hope this helps someone in a similar predicament, the worst part is not knowing what is happening and how to recover.
Considering there are various other factors such as cardiac rhythm in relation to our bodies...genetic factors... Or body's regulational factors and many other variants that determines our evidential results of whether we're sleeping well or sleep derorived for that matter...correct me if I'm wrong...
make sleeping as a CCA
Am watching this and getting sleepy.
I realized its hard for me to fall asleep on an empty stomach. It may helped me lose weight easily but it causes delay to my sleeping time. I tried light snacking one hour before i sleep and i dont have problem falling asleep on time

Anyone knows where to watch the Korean War documentary which was recently on TV
I blame my short temper to the cold war I had with sleep. I tend to forget easily as well and rely heavily on notes. Tho I am a pretty heavy sleeper due to my window-less room.
Oh the attempts at hiding her sch are kinda sad when u can see it later on in the phone call. lol. Not the first time CNA has been sloppy in their censorship.

Feel blessed that i never have any sleep deprive problem, as i am working in a family business, so time is very flexible for me and not required to have a work time as employees, but again i know how tough singapore career are for almost all their people.
We have to wake up early to go school!!!!
I myself is binge watching this video.
i have a problem called ME/CFS. it causes insomnia and hypersomnia and sleep reversals... brain fog and anxiety and depression and post-exertional malaise...
@7:13 - is that a radeon painted clock? shouldnt have that around if so!
Sleep deprivation is a consequence of our contemporary world. With the rise of capitalism, system of education and bureaucratic work environment, it would always put people’s health and sanity at risk
Sharda Harrison, I love you, and I mean that.
I think 95% of the population spend time on their phone before they sleep.
As I watch this at 2am whoops 😂
6.30am now and I’m watching this. Talk about sleep deprivation 😔
Stop going to the demonstration every night. A suggestion to HK students.
Be being guilty,having ard 1.5h-4h of sleep per night, waking up at 5,leaving home by 6,be at school by 7.30 for 8am lesson. If I need 8hours of sleep,I need to sleep at 9pm,but being home by 6pm,is not possible,due to homework,external and internal CCA,projet work...
Stop watching this vid and sleep
Singapore is a stressful country ma.Those people living in Singapore ma always got insomnia la.So easy also dunno.
It's been a perennial problem for most of us. I will humbly introduce the word.... It's called.... STRESS. Heard of it.....

Haha seems proud to be sleep deprived?
sec 1 and already sleep at 3 am? i wasn't even hitting that during my JC days. Is she really a good representation of the teens in singapore? Furthermore, have you really seen what she does for 24 hours, and if there are large pockets of times that she is just wasting away due to a lack of proper time management skills, as she has already admitted to in the early part of the video?
I disagree. I have insomnia and take a long time to fall asleep, resulting in lesser hours of sleep eventually till wake up.

This comment may trigger those who say they don't have time to sleep... (lol) but... Ultimately it comes down to how you manage your time. I work from 9am to 1am during weekdays (around 15hrs/day) and I have enough sleep everyday (I don't yawn or feel sleepy throughout the day). When I'm not working, I'm resting or sleeping. I try to spend as little time as possible on social media or surfing the web mindlessly. People may say they value sleep but then they do other activities other than sleep. In reality, they value those activities more than sleep. Just look at how you use your time and you'll know if you're kidding yourself. Using the host as an example, she works 12 hours a day, sleeps 5 hours. Where did the 7 hours go? Using the student as example, she wakes at 5am to 730pm (14 and half hours), dance class at 9pm, homework at 10pm. Sleeps at 1 to 3am. Don't tell me the dance classes and CCA activities every weekday. That's quite outrageous. And if it is so, it just means she values those activities over sleep.

One of the reasons you can’t sleep deeply at night is because people “especially Singaporeans” are addicted to technology and gadgets. They have not yet realise of the impacts of EMF - Electromagnetic Frequency Radiation from WiFi - Cellphone mast, dirty electricity and magnetic fields in general. People are being exposed to the radiation of their phones on a daily basis and almost never read the safety SAR levels or legal documents available on their devices. Lookup: building biology, and reduce EMF “electrosmog” for deeper, more profound sleep and better recovery.

Rather than follow research and fall into the social daily belief of what is right and wrong about the amount of sleep we need. A person should gauge on happiness and peacefulness and not waste time on what is right or wrong but the simple honest truth in daily Life.

I wake up naturally after nine hours sleep, that must be about how much my body normally needs every night, proud that New Zealand is one of the well rested lol, my stats must contribute to that 🤣

CCAs dont happen every single day. Dance classes are not essential. What is the real reason she “ends school” at 7.30pm? Probably hanging out with friends? Manage time better. Even in my JC days, I sleep at 10pm. Choose better, accurate more accurate representations of the public.

In secondary school I ended class at 6 because there was always extra lessons and compulsory remedials so that could also be a factor. Now in JC I end school around 4.30 or 6 with only one 1 hr break. Perhaps she’s facing a similar situation. But I agree that there are some students who can sleep earlier (as the teen did mention how her friends were sleeping earlier than her) and it could be due to her lack of time management and we should have a broader representation of the public
You dont.
13:05 so its true reading a book is so boring it makes u fall asleep.. lol
Blame your city

More developed countries people get more sleep deprived .🙄
Hint:"try lay down on bed! 🛏
Simple. FXXK CCA!
Get a bf and there will be lots of sleeping😂✌
When GDP is the only maker of success, of coz health and well being are compromised. What a sad state of affair that singapore is known for the longest working hours and least rested. Wonder why Singaporeans are mostly miserable and grumpy!
