Adventure Creative Nonfiction Mystery

Written in response to: "Write about a character who wakes up in the middle of the night, or is unable to sleep." as part of What Keeps You Up at Night.

My story is titled Joshua Jackson wakes up in the middle of the night and he is unable to sleep.

Once upon a tine ,the young man Joshua Jackson wakes up in the middle of the night due to the fact that he could hardly sleep at night because of excessive noise in the neighborhood.

Sometimes Joshua Jackson takes sleeping tablet before he could possibly sleep at night ,that makes him very weak.

At that moment it was Joshua Jackson who realised that he was he was suffering from insomnia that is the lack of sleep.

Due to the fact that Joshua Jackson was suffering from insomnia he could hardly sleep at night.

As can be noted sleep is the core pillar of longevity. Also sleep supports the brain health,metabolism,immune function and emotional resilience.

However, women sleep is not the same as men's sleep.

In addition. hormones and life stages from the menstrual cycle to pregnancy and menopause shapes how women sleep and what disrupts it and how to then improve it.

It can be noted that women often get more sleep than other men. Sometimes women sleep need an average of about 10 to 20 minutes although the difference may be small and then varies from person to person.

However women report around 11-23minutes more sleep than men. Again for some adults the lowest risk for cardiovascular diseases,mood problems and cognitive decline sits around 7-8 hours within a stable timing and fewer awakenings. For some other women the priority is not chasing an extra hour by default but by protecting continuity and then treating all other common disruptions.

In other words ,the win actually cones from a better sleep. Some nights are regular and uninterrupted. There are higher rates of insomnia and certain sleep problems that occurs in most adults.

As according to most studies ,women are more likely than men to report insomnia symptoms and poor sleep quality. Joshua Jackson had a poor sleep and actually reported of insomnia symptoms The sleep actually widens hormonal transitions.

In addition the restless legs syndrome in most men and women is a major cause of falling asleep and then staying asleep. The risk of obstructive sleep known as apnea rises due to the changes in hormones.

Joshua Jackson sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and then notices that women experience worse sleep especially his wife Juliet. The different phases of the cycle slightly changes how often women sleep including sleep brain wave bursts known as spindles.

Again sleep disruption is always common with mechanical discomfort ,reflux and infant care. The high quality trials for sleeping are scarce. The restless legs syndrome is hard to describe and difficult to move their legs often in the evening or at night when trying to relax.

Also the Restless legs syndrome can make it hard extremely hard to fall asleep and then can wake you up repeatedly through the night. Again the Restless legs syndrome is two times more common in women and then shows up and worsens during pregnancy or around midlife.

It can be noted that fatigue and weakness can cause most people to sleep a lot. Again excessive noises and disturbances is what caused Joshua Jackson to stay awake at night and finding it difficult to sleep.

Late at night it was Joshua Jackson who often hears excessive noises that comes out of music. Other people of the neighborhood also create disturbances that often interrupts Joshua Jackson in his home. Sometimes Joshua Jackson finds it difficult to sleep due to the disturbances caused by the Area Pub restaurant and entertainment team.

The Estate Manager has cautioned the Area Pub restaurant and the entertainment team not to disturb the neighborhood especially late at night whilst people are sleeping,reading or are almost asleep. Again the Estate manager reported the disturbance to the Police but it all came to no avail. It was the Estate manager who went to the extent to caution the staffs of Area Pub restaurant and entertainment not to make excessive noises especially late at night.

Since all the complaint fell on deaf ears the staff of Area Pub restaurant and entertainment kept making excessive noises so the Estate manager and Joshua Jackson decided to take the management of Area Pub restaurant and entertainment to court .

Finally, Joshua Jackson knew that women tend to experience more insomnia and sometimes they can hardly sleep at night.

Also Joshua Jackson noted that when the total time in bed looks decent sleep becomes actually light and broken.

A menopausal hormone therapy under a clinical guidance can actually improve sleep quality.

Lastly insomnia or the lack of sleep occurs and has become a pattern cognitive of behavioral therapy for insomnia.

Women get more sleep as compared to men like Joshua Jackson that reflects a small average difference. The post pattern sleep interventions are both effective and then truly workable in real life of the community.

Most people of the community are empowered with the knowledge of evidence and science leading to better health outcomes for all.

However in a world where marketing and profit often takes precedence ,we stand as champions of fact and science by encouraging sleep in both adults and other children.

In conclusion ,Joshua Jackson after seeing the doctor about his inability to sleep at night ,he was educated by health experts that sleep always prolongs life or longevity.

The Estate manager and Joshua Jackson filed a lawsuit in court against the management of Area Pub restaurant and entertainment for excessive noises and disturbances in the neighborhood that keeps the inhabitants of the community always awake.

Also both the Estate manager and Joshua Jackson won the case due to the fact the excessive noise and disturbances being created is noise pollution.

At last the Judge warned and cautioned the management of Area Pub restaurant not to create excessive noise and disturbances late in the night.

Lastly the judge sentenced the management of Area Pub restaurant and entertainment to four months imprisonment for excessive noise making and other disturbances within the Airport community until granted bail of thousand dollars.
