Video 7
- Name: Anna
- Age: 21
- Job: studying to become a doctor
- Quality of sleep: depends on time of the year
- Sleep problem: Anxiety due to exams
Conclusion
Listening to what Anna has to say about her sleeping routines we see a clear example of what student live consists of. She can manage to sleep more or less what she needs throughout the year except from during finals. We see, though, that she prefers to sleep rather than staying up late watching Netflix, and that shows how committed she is with her quality of sleep.
The main problem, she says, comes when she has to study harder during finals and specially the night before a big exam. She tends to get more anxious and lose the ability to fall asleep on her own because she overthinks about what is coming the day after. Also she prioritizes the quality of study to the quality of sleep during exam periods.

- Name: Marc
- Age: 25
- Job: Night shift worker at a hotel
- Quality of sleep: 5 or 6 out of 10
- Sleep problem: uncommon schedules
Conclusion
Listening to what Marc has to say in the interview, we might be hearing what most of night shift workers would say. People with this kind of schedules tend to get poorer quality of sleep. No matter how much we try to get used to working by night and sleeping by day, our bodies are not meant for it and that is it. He says he usually finds himself trying new things to get good sleep, exercise, going for a walk to calm down or trying to block out as much sunlight as possible.
Nonetheless, he rates his sleep with a 5 or 6 out of 10 and that is an indicator that all those things might be working but not as desired. For him, getting a good sleep even if the world around him is just waking up and starting its day, would be a perfect scenario.
