Summary - Causes and effects of insomnia

Insomnia can be caused by surrounding factors such as an uncomfortable bed or living in a noisy neighbourhood. Our emotions, such as anxiety, anger or resentment, can also keep us awake at night. In addition, a medical condition called sleep apnoea, which interrupts breathing and consequently sleeping through a lack of oxygen. Finally, stimulants such as certain foods, coffee and fizzy drinks can keep us awake at night. Insomnia can have many debilitating effects on our lifestyles.

Summary - Fear of swimming

Children’s fear of swimming mainly results from people being naturally scared of water. In addition, children may be put off swimming by having to learn in cold and noisy pools. Moreover, learning in groups can be off-putting to many children due to fears of being splashed or ducked. However, there are ways of overcoming these fears. First, children should learn to swim in a smaller, warmer pool, taking one-on-one lesson with a parent or teacher. Furthermore, they should start learning to swim underwater as it is easier, but make sure that they use a good pair of goggles to stop water getting in their eyes.
