Introduction

I. It was a scary season in the university. You know why? For many students,
during examinations around the corner, and that time they are rushing up
with millions of deadlines. It is a nightmare that always haunts you.

II. All-nighters is very synonymous with the student's lifestyle. Make sleep
deprivation as a routine, forcing their bodies to learn and complete the
assignments provided by lecturers throughout the night.

III. Did you know that most of university students are sleep deprived? A survey
was made and result show that 70% of students obtaining less than 6 hours
of sleep. 50% says that they are facing daytime sleepiness due to
insufficient sleep. (Lund HG. (n.d.) Sleep patterns and predictors of
disturbed sleep in a large population of college students.)

IV. When I was at UiTM Arau in 2012 doing my final year project and report, I
had facing sleep deprivation until one day, I am fainted due to sleep
deprivation. I remember that time I only sleep for 30 minutes a day.

V. Today, I hope that I can persuade each of you to always take care of your
sleep time in results that will protect your health.

VI. This is because; all of us have rights to get a proper and enough sleeps by
good time management and life planning
(Let’s move to my first point)
Body
I. Sleep deprivation negatively impact learning, memory, and performance of
students.
A. Sleepiness and irregular sleep schedules have many unintended
consequences which are negatively impact learning, memory, and
performance of student.
i. There are interaction between sleep stages, pattern of sleep
stages, and memory.
ii. The dual process theory maintains that certain types of memory
are dependent on specific sleep states, such that procedural
memory (knowing how) may be dependent on REM (rapid eye
movement) sleep and declarative memory (knowing what) on
NREM (non-REM) sleep.
a. For an example, REM sleep normally occurs every 90–120
minutes, with each REM sleep period growing progressively
longer, with the last episode near rise time. Therefore,
university students with early morning classes may not be
attain the last 1–2 REM sleep periods, thus adversely
affecting procedural memory. (Amlander CJ, Fuller PM,
editors. Basics of Sleep Guide.)
b. Thus, do not let sleep deprivation giving you a bad impact
that can cause your learning, memory and performance
reduced.

(My second point)

B. Insufficient sleep can increase depressive symptoms among students
especially girl.
i. Are you really get what I’m talking about?
a. Let me give you imagination. Have you ever thought,
sometimes you will stay up for whole night to finish your jobs
or tasks, and suddenly people around call you to ask
something.
b. Do you ever think what will happen? You might end up to
scolding them for no reasons and later you will regret for
 what you have done. All of that just because the pressure
and depression that you face.
c. In a study of female college students, sleep debt of 2 hours
per night and/or a bedtime after 2 am was associated with
greater depressive symptoms. Irregular sleep schedules
have been associated with greater depressive symptoms.
Prolonged sleep latency was associated with loss of
pleasure, punishment feelings, and self-dislike. (Regestein
Q. Sleep debt and depression in female college students.
(n.d.))
a. As a simple example, Increased total sleep in teenagers has
also been shown to improve mood.

(Transition: So, what’s the solution?)

II. Solving these problems required customer action and yourself where you need
to be professional in managing your life schedule.
A. Plan your life as it can improve your sleep properly.
i. Instead of making task or jobs in last minutes, try not to burden it.
Do all of you task slowly and periodically. Get enough rest if you
really need for it.
a. As a student, don't even think of pulling an all-nighter
before an exam, because researchers say that does more
harm than good. Last-minute cramming refuses to sink in,
because the consolidation of memories occurs during deep
sleep.
b. For example, you may face fainting or loss of memories
because your brains did not have an enough sleep.

Conclusion
I. Last but not least, I want to remind you again, you need to plan your lifestyle, so
that you will get proper sleeps and avoid sleep deprivations.
II. Give time to your body to get rewarded for what you have done. I mean, when
you have push your body to works, you need to give some rest to recover the
inner and outer energy.
III. Do not try to force yourself until your sleep time is affected.
