I did a simple research on 10 students and 10 working adults for this article. Average sleep is 6 hours for students and adult. I found that most people start lacking sleep since starting their life in campus. This is base on another research that I made with 10 primary and pre-school kids, 10 secondary students and 10 tertiary students. Lacking of sleeping start mostly when people starting their life in campus until when they have their permanent career in life.

During time keep on passing by, maybe many of us do not realize how important is sleep in term to generate and relaxing our brains. Everyone needs to sleep to refresh their brains. Hence the standard hour sleep is 8 hour for individual to have a proper resting and re-energize their brains.

Students, it is time for you to re-analyze. You do not have to sacrifice your sleeping hour due to rushing on your assignments but you need to have sufficient and quality sleeping time. This is not only to help you to maintain the quality of your health but it helps your brains to be freshening-up every day. What I want to say here is “Study Smart.” Same as working adult which best say is “Keep on working makes Jack a dull boy.” Work smart rather than work hard to treasure the quality of life.

1. Mind your own business
Many people do not have peaceful mind is because of this number one reason. Why mind other people business so much until it distracts your peace? You may deny it but the truth is ‘We are mind too much on others’ business’. Now it is the time for you to stop looking and curious or even concern about other people problems. Also stop telling others ‘you shall do this’ and ‘you should not do this way’. Look at your own situation and looking for your own solutions to improve yourself. This is because you can change yourself better and easier than you to change others.

2. Forgive & forget
Still holding the pass grudge? It is time for you to let it go by just forgive and forget. Some people perhaps your very best friends have insulted you once a time. And it is very hard for you to forgive him/her even just forget what they have done to you. Hence you will not realize it that you are not into peaceful mind for holding the negative feelings and thinking towards that fellow.
**Do you know that this kind of situation may lead you to health problems such as blood pressure, stomach ulcer and lacking of sleep/restless? It might come light in the beginning but not when you let it is continuously.

3. Do not crave for recognition
When you really doing well and helping your team to enrich, why shall you crave for recognition if they don’t entitle you for it? Good job is to be applause and never be forgotten. Many people put in mind when the person doing good but leave them when they doing mistake in the next time. Instead of extend hand and give them support.

4. Do not be so envious or jealous
You will never have a piece of peaceful mind if you always too envy or more than that, jealous with others’ achievement. There is only one thing you can do by work positively to get the good achievements. Jealous on other people will never help you solve any problem.

5. Adapt into the environment
Sound familiar? Stop nag, murmur or trying hard to change the environment. You will never get it as you wish. The best way is you change yourself and adapt to the new environment surrounding you. Sure, you will worth that peaceful in your mind.

6. Endure what cannot be cured
You already know that you cannot safe the lifeless cat. Why you still not giving up since you know that the cat will not back to life? Sometimes it is hard but better to let go the things that you cannot find the cure. Hold it and leaving it in you will never let you have true peace.

7. Do not promise thing more than your ability can do
Do not promise others that you can be 10miles away in 5 minutes when you or anyone realizes that it is not possible for you to make it. It will only take you to stress and letting your heart pumping twice faster than normal. Just do according to your ability. Do not give promise when you are doubt you cannot make it.

8. Do meditation
Actually if you can do meditation 15-20minutes a day, it is more than sufficient for you to have a peaceful mind. Relax and allow your mind to rest. Try and experience it. You will found the truth.

9. Never leave your mind empty
We often hear that devil like to interfere when one’s mind are empty. Fill it up with your healthy activities. Do not let it empty because you worth the peaceful mind.

10. Never regret
Why regret with whatever you have done or pass? There is no one you and me can turn back the time. So why not just turn over a new leaf and stop weeping over spilt milk. Treat what you did mistake in the pass as your experience and guidance in your next task. Live in peace so that you can live life the fullest
