The consciousness and duality of a body are revealed: a body simultaneously experiences the other and itself. The article discusses a unity of a physical body and an incarnate consciousness, which reveals itself in certain lifelike situation at each point in time, a sensual perception of which each time provides new knowledge and further opens up the world. The article shows that Merleau-Ponty brought a revolution of sensual perception in philosophy. He revealed that sensual perception consisted of various processes of consciousness associated with memory, imagination, feelings and other areas. It is assumed that the reason of the origin of time is the interaction of a subject with things. Analysis of time is a possibility to access to a concrete structure of subjectivity that represents a subject. Time has a transitional nature of movement through the difference between the past and the future in the present.

Methods. The study sample consisted of 400 Klaipeda State University of Applied Sciences students (96.8% female) and 393 The Lithuanian Maritime Academy students (78.9% male), from 18 to 46 years of age. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used for subjective sleep quality evaluation. Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale was used to identify depression and anxiety. PSQI score ≤ 5 was evaluated as good sleep quality; > 5 – poor sleep. HAD score from 0 to 7 was evaluated as no depression or anxiety, score >7 indicated depression and/or anxiety. Results. Lithuanian Maritime Academy students had significantly lower prevalence of poor sleep, as compared to the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, 38.8% vs 61.2%, p<0.001. The students of Lithuanian Maritime Academy had significantly lower anxiety score, as compared to the students of Health Sciences, 7.45 vs 8.63, p<0.001. Anxiety was higher (8.94) among the students older than 22 years, as compared to 18-19 years old ones (7.17), p<0.001, also among third year students (9.17), as compared to the first one (7.25). Conclusions. Health sciences students more frequently, as compared to maritime students, had poor sleep or anxiety. Depression and anxiety scores were higher in female, older and studying third year students. KEYWORDS: poor sleep, anxiety, depression, students, health sciences, maritime.

The phenomenon of creativity has been analyzed as the process and result of the creativity, a personal quality and a thinking skill during the most recent decades. Such variety of the attitudes towards creativity is typical to the pre-school education process as well. In order to recognize creativity in the early educational environment, it is necessary to have a broad and democratic conception in accordance with which each child has creative potential which must be developed by focusing more on the process and less on the assessment of the quality of the products. On the basis of the research outcomes, the article discloses the characteristics of preschool children's creative expression. The summary of empiric research proves that identifying the traits of creative child, the educators primarily emphasized their personal traits: self-confidence, imagination, self-dependence, and independence, versatile interests, artistic inclinations, and the ability to generate ideas and to implement them. Among other important traits, the educators named original thinking, flexibility, the ability to promptly respond to creative impulses and to find unconventional ways of problem solution.
