Circle: Should we get rid of daylight savings?

Unit Topics: Consciousness, Sleep, Dreams, and Hypnosis

Sleep Journal:  On average, how many hours of sleep have you been getting on a school night?

Activity: Handout 20-13-  What are strategies you can implement to improve you sleep.  Create a customized list of things that you know you need to work on or strategies you currently use that work and are backed up by science.

Activity: At you table you will come up with a brief presentation about the long term effects of not getting enough sleep.  If you have three people, your presentation will have 3 parts.  If four people, it would have 4 parts.

For Example: Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain because; 1. Increases ghrelin, a hunger-arousing hormone and decreases leptin which decreases hunger.  2. Decreases metabolic (energy use) rate.  3. Increases cortisol production,  a stress hormone that stimulates the body to make fat(energy storage). 4. Enhances limbic brain response to the mere sight of food and reduces cortical response which helps us resist temptation. 

What is it? What are the causes? What are the symptoms? How does it affect the sufferer? What are the treatments? How common is it?  What are the long term effects?

• narcolepsy
• sleep apnea
• night terrors
• parasomnias(sleep walking)
• restless leg syndrome

Activity: 22-1 True or False
