Meet the Summer/Fall 2017 You Matter Blogger Council!

Name: Julia
Age: 23
Living in: New Jersey
If I didn’t have to sleep, I would… use the extra time to travel all over the world.

Name: Jay
Age: 15, turning 16 in September
Living in: New Jersey
If I didn’t have to sleep, I would… have more energy throughout the night and I think that I would invest in a pair of really good night vision goggles. Then, I would go out with my friends constantly. Think about it, the reason people constantly don’t go out at night is because there’s normally nobody outside and they are tired. But if we didn’t have to sleep people would be out and about, and going about their daily lives, while adapting to the dark.

Name: Sharleigh
Age: 19, turning 20 in September
Living in: New Hampshire
If I didn’t have to sleep, I would… spend a lot more time curled up reading. And I think I would go on more adventures. Waterfall hunting by starlight sounds like the kind of thing poetry is made of…maybe I’d do that.

Name: Leah
Age: 24
Living in: CT
If I didn’t have to sleep, I would… probably write a lot more and use the time to volunteer with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline! That’s a lot of time for life saving…

Name: Adira Bennett (pen name of E.K.)
Age: 20
Living in: New York City
If I didn’t have to sleep, I would… read and paint and eat bowls of cereal.

Name: Lily
Age: 13
Living in: Colorado
If I didn’t have to sleep, I would… probably binge Netflix or attempt to pick up another language.

Name: Lexa
Age: 19
Living in: New York City and going to college in western Massachusetts
If my life was a TV show, it would be called… “Life with Lexa” and it would be a mockumentary (fake documentary like “the office”) about life in New York City paralleled with life in a small college town.

Name: Alexandria
Age: 21
Living in: Texas
If my life were a TV show, it would probably be called… “Awkward Alexandria.”
