(1) Psychologists believe that people progress through a sequence of states as they make changes in their lives. (2) The first state of change is precontemplation. (3)Whether or not they’re aware of a problem behavior, people in this stage have no intention of making a change in the next six months. (4) Busy college students in good health, for instance, might never think about getting more exercise. (5) The second stage is contemplation. (6) Individuals in this stage are aware they have a problem behavior but are torn between the positives of the new behavior and the amount of time and energy required to change. (7) For instance, students in a health class may start thinking about exercising but struggle to balance potential benefits with the effort of getting up early to jog or go to the gym. (8) In the next stage—preparation—people intend to change a problem behavior in the next month. (9) Some focus on a master plan. (10) For instance, they might look into fitness classes, gyms, or other options for working out. (11) Others might start by making small changes, such as walking to classes rather than taking a campus shuttle bus. (12) Next comes the action stage—people are modifying their behavior according to their plan. (13) For instance, they might be jogging or working out at the gym three times a week. (14) Lastly comes the termination stage. (16) While it may take two to five years, a behavior becomes so deeply ingrained that a person can’t imagine abandoning it.

(3)There are a couple of major causes of sleeping too much. (4)One major cause of this problem is apnea, a condition associated with breathing difficulties during the night. (5)In severe cases, the victim actually stops breathing after falling asleep. (6)When the level of carbon dioxide in the blood rises to a certain point, apnea sufferers are spurred to a state of arousal just short of waking consciousness.
