It seems counterintuitive that when faced with a hard question we choose not to think about it, or as we like to say, “sleeping on it”. Instead of taking the time to weigh out our options by thinking about the consequences or benefits, we procrastinate. However studies have shown that the best time to study is right before bed because sleep encourages our brain to strengthen the knowledge that we learned throughout the day. It has been proven that students are 40% less likely to learn at their fullest potential when running on poor sleep. A proper night’s rest consists of 90 minute cycles of the 4 stages of sleep; falling asleep, light non-REM sleep, deep non- REM sleep, and REM sleep. So If you are planning on pulling an all nighter to study for your big exam the next day I would highly rethink that decision, sleep on it.

It seems counterintuitive that home security is designed to protect you safety and privacy yet may violate your own privacy as well. The popular surveillance doorbell “Ring” has agreed to give recording access to 400 police forces, however with the somewhat pressured permission from the homeowner. Frightening research showed that The ring camera is not hard to hack into defending its entire purpose and possibly making you a target. This big name company got a jump on these issues and started to enforce a double verification sign followed by an immediate notification to alert the homeowner. Ring jumped the gun before losing customers however less popular and researched companies may not be fixing these issues and leave thousands of naive customers at risk.
It seems counterintuitive that multivitamins, that are advertised to be good for us, may not be. Those who may be vitamin deficient could possibly benefit from a dose a day, however this is very rare in the US. It has been shown that the average healthy individual taking vitamins will not improve their health. Company advertises that their vitamins will protect you from illness however in 2009 research proved that they do not protect you from any diseases. Customers may be throwing away their money. The average vitamin consumer is actually more likely to already be getting all their needed nutrients from their food rather than not vitamin users, ultimately defeating the purpose of the product. In Fact if you are already getting your daily vitamin intake from food while taking vitamins it can lead to serious issues like heart disease, which is found in elders. It is extremely important you take what your body needs, not what advertisements say you need.

Counterintuitive Spring 2023 
wondering what my main issue is.

That’s a nicely-phrased question, MellowTacos!
Your work is overall quite good: brief and clear and at least somewhat purposeful, fair to the original, nicely written. Your grade is among the highest in the class, so I’m delighted you want to do better. That’s the purpose of lower-than-expected first grades.
It seems counterintuitive that when faced with a hard question we choose not to think about it, or as we like to say, “sleeping on it”.
—You don’t actually make a case for this being counterintuitive, MT.
—It probably seems completely intuitive to readers that scary decisions or hard questions would result in avoidance.
—It might be more counterintuitive that “sleeping on it” is actually good strategy.
—Usage Problem: “sleeping on it” is not parallel with “not think about it.” You mean: “sleep on it.”
—Punctuation Error (misplaced period): “sleeping on it”.
Instead of taking the time to weigh out our options by thinking about the consequences or benefits, we procrastinate.
—That’s a somewhat clearer restatement of the first claim, but still kinda misses the counterintuitive part.
However studies have shown that the best time to study is right before bed because sleep encourages our brain to strengthen the knowledge that we learned throughout the day.
—This gets at it better. We do need to “sleep on it,” apparently, but only AFTER we’ve carefully weighed the options and studied the problem. Right?
It has been proven that students are 40% less likely to learn at their fullest potential when running on poor sleep. A proper night’s rest consists of 90 minute cycles of the 4 stages of sleep; falling asleep, light non-REM sleep, deep non-REM sleep, and REM sleep.
So If you are planning on pulling an all-nighter to study for your big exam the next day I would highly rethink that decision, sleep on it.
—Maybe you mean: Rethink what an “all-nighter” is. Study first, then pull an “all-night-sleeper.”
So, to answer that well-phrased question you asked, in this case, it’s nailing down the logic of what’s counterintuitive.
It seems counterintuitive that home security is designed to protect you safety and privacy yet may violate your own privacy as well. The popular surveillance doorbell “Ring” has agreed to give recording access to 400 police forces, however with the somewhat pressured permission from the homeowner. Frightening research showed that The ring camera is not hard to hack into defending its entire purpose and possibly making you a target. This big name company got a jump on these issues and started to enforce a double verification sign followed by an immediate notification to alert the homeowner. Ring jumped the gun before losing customers however less popular and researched companies may not be fixing these issues and leave thousands of naive customers at risk.
—They might be sloppiness rather than ignorance errors, but there are several grammar and syntax problems here to correct. They may disappear in a Rewrite, but if you’d like me to point them out in advance, I’ll be happy to do so.
—This Summary wanders, MT. It would benefit from advance mapping, in which you let readers know where they’re headed instead of pulling them first left, then right, then back again. For example, your second or third sentence could be something like: A dangerous bug that makes some home security systems vulnerable to hacking has been solved by Ring, but persists in systems installed by smaller companies. THEN you can describe the problem. See the difference?
It seems counterintuitive that multivitamins, that are advertised to be good for us, may not be. Those who may be vitamin deficient could possibly benefit from a dose a day, however this is very rare in the US. [INSERT ADVANCE MAPPING SENTENCE HERE.]
COMBINE THESE FOUR WORDY, REPETITIVE SENTENCES:
It has been shown that the average healthy individual taking vitamins will not improve their health. Company advertises that their vitamins will protect you from illness however in 2009 research proved that they do not protect you from any diseases. Customers may be throwing away their money. The average vitamin consumer is actually more likely to already be getting all their needed nutrients from their food rather than not vitamin users, ultimately defeating the purpose of the product.
—This can be done easily. I can provide guidance if you want it.
THIS IS THE CONTENT FOR YOUR ADVANCE MAPPING SENTENCE:
In Fact if you are already getting your daily vitamin intake from food while taking vitamins it can lead to serious issues like heart disease, which is found in elders.
It is extremely important you take what your body needs, not what advertisements say you need.
—Helpful?

It seems counterintuitive that home security is designed to protect your safety and privacy yet may be violating your own privacy . The popular surveillance doorbell “Ring” has solved the dangerous bug that puts some home security systems at risk for hacking, but continues to be seen in smaller companies. Frightening research showed that the ring camera is not hard to hack into, defending its entire purpose and possibly making you a target. This big name company got a jump on these issues and started to enforce a double verification sign in, followed by an immediate notification to alert the homeowner. Ring jumped the gun before losing customers however less popular and researched companies may not be fixing these issues and leave thousands of naive customers at risk. That’s not all, Ring has agreed to give recording access to 400 police forces, with the pressured permission from the homeowner. Police will now have access to your Ring doorbell whenever they please, taking away another aspect of privacy.
It seems counterintuitive that multivitamins, that are advertised to be good for us, may not be. Those who may be vitamin deficient could possibly benefit from a dose a day, however this is rare in the US. The average vitamin consumer is more likely to already be getting all their needed nutrients from their food rather than not vitamin users, ultimately defeating the purpose of the product. Companies advertise that their vitamins will protect you from illness however in 2009 research proved that they do not protect you from any diseases. Customers may be throwing away their money investing in daily vitamins.
