Many of Maldivian youths used to have a thinking that we dont care about who the f*** rules our country as if we don’t care about politics at all. I was having the same beliefs until last night i was called for a meetup with Dr. Hassan Saeed and Dr. Ahmed Shaheed. I never thought of serving this country, never even had a thought like that before.
The very first thing i came to notice was that why a politician needs to meet bunch of kids like us? and of course Dr Hassan Saeed explained that very well. We are the most valuable, most vulnerable assets of the country.
We had a little 2 hours discussion about Dr. Hassan Saeed’s manifesto and as we questioned he and Dr.Shaheed answered and explained more about the points in the manifesto. I was really surprised by how much they have planned for our future in cases of economy, education, housing and urban planing and in every single bit. I was really satisfied by the way they answered us. I felt like my mind just exploded something new. Understanding how much they have sacrificed for this country and are willing to made me feel really greatful for them.
What these doctorates were asking us was not to support them or campaign them. To have an open mid towards the politics.
“..there are two ways to approach this. either to support or to attack this..” Dr. Shaheed.
Dr.Shaheed explained why he joined the government and how he has served to the country in bringing up an individual Human Rights Commission in Maldives and other petitions which he made Mr.Golhaaboa to sign while answering the last question.
So my fellow youths. Please donot just ignore politics. You dont have to be active in politics. But please gain knowledge about how these leaders are going to contribute to our country. Chose wisely to the person you think is the best and who can lead this country out of this critical situation. Voting is a right you have under the Maldivian Law. So tick your vote wisely.
I have been sleeping too much this week, like 12 hours a day. I attended to only a single chemistry class this entire week. Oh god I am sleeping too much…
So i thought of doing some researches on this problem. But before i got anything useful, I found these amazing facts about sleep. i did found 40 but these are the most amazing for me.
Stay awake and read this… you might learn something….
1 -The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses.
2 - It’s impossible to tell if someone is really awake without close medical supervision. People can take cat naps with their eyes open without even being aware of it.
3 - Anything less than five minutes to fall asleep at night means you’re sleep deprived. The ideal is between 10 and 15 minutes, meaning you’re still tired enough to sleep deeply, but not so exhausted you feel sleepy by day.
4 - A new baby typically results in 400-750 hours lost sleep for parents in the first year
5- One of the best predictors of insomnia later in life is the development of bad habits from having sleep disturbed by young children.
6 - The continuous brain recordings that led to the discovery of REM (rapid eye-movement) sleep were not done until 1953, partly because the scientists involved were concerned about wasting paper.
7 - REM sleep occurs in bursts totaling about 2 hours a night, usually beginning about 90 minutes after falling asleep.
8 - Dreams, once thought to occur only during REM sleep, also occur (but to a lesser extent) in non-REM sleep phases. It’s possible there may not be a single moment of our sleep when we are actually dreamless.
9 - REM dreams are characterized by bizarre plots, but non-REM dreams are repetitive and thought-like, with little imagery - obsessively returning to a suspicion you left your mobile phone somewhere, for example.
10 - Certain types of eye movements during REM sleep correspond to specific movements in dreams, suggesting at least part of the dreaming process is analagous to watching a film
