The Positive Impact of Regular Exercise on Sleep Quality

By Ferziandra Divananda Kartono (1209624112)


Regular physical exercise has a significant positive impact on sleep quality in adults. One of the main reasons for poor sleep quality is stress, anxiety, and an irregular sleep schedule. Moving your body in a form of exercise helps as a natural stress reliever. After exercising, our brain produces happy hormones such as serotonin, which improves mood. This reduced stress condition and also reduced the level of cortisol in our body, which promotes a state of mental relaxation. As a result, people who engage in physical activities, especially high intesity workouts like weightlifting, running, and biking tend to fall asleep quicker and better rest in their sleep. Exercise also helps our body to build and sync our body's internal clock. This sync in our body's internal clock helps us to have a scheduled sleep, which in turn improves the sleep-wake cycle and overall sleep efficiency.


According to recent studies, including the one from the National Library of Medicine, adults who maintain a consistent exercise routine report improvement in their sleep duration and a reduction in symptoms of insomnia. This improvement is notably found in people who previously suffered from chronic sleep issues. Furthermore, people who work out regularly tend to have a healthier daily routine and sleep schedule, which further reinforces sleep quality. In contrast, people who lack an exercise routine often experience more stress, poor mental health, and disrupted sleep schedules. In short, regular physical activity leads to better sleep, which improves mood, mental health, and overall health condition.

Understanding the difference between Online and Offline learning

Image
By Sultan Dimas Erdhiarto (1209624110) Learning in an online class often feels different from learning face-to-face. While both methods aim to educate students, they differ in several key aspects such as flexibility, structure, and engagement. Online learning is usually more flexible, allowing students to access materials and complete assignments anytime and anywhere. In contrast, face-to-face learning typically follows a fixed schedule and requires physical attendance. Student engagement also varies between the two. In face-to-face settings, teachers can directly monitor students and encourage participation through live discussions. On the other hand, online learning can make it harder for students to stay focused, especially when there is a lack of interaction or timely feedback. In conclusion, although both learning methods share the same goal, their differences in delivery and experience make each one unique.

Climate Change

Image
By Sultan Dimas Erdhiarto (1209624110) and Ferziandra Divananda Kartono (1209624112) Climate change is a growing problem that is largely affected by human activities. One major cause of climate change is deforestation, where trees that should help us maintain the climate by reducing carbon dioxide in the air are cut down. This can lead to some animals losing their habitat, extreme weather events, rising average temperatures, and rising sea levels. Another major contributor to climate change is the excessive use of electricity, which is mostly produced by burning fossil fuels. This process can release a large amount of carbon emissions into the air, further accelerating climate change. One possible solution to this problem is to start saving electricity. If we started using less electricity, fewer fossil fuels would be burned in the process. How can we use less electricity? The simplest thing is to turn off the electric devices when its not being used. Another way to reduce carbon emiss...
