states of consciousness reading and sleep log

1. Please read and take notes on the first half of chapter 7/states of consciousness (p. 265-285) - I may collect or check your notes, so please make sure you bring them to class Monday after break.
2. Keep a sleep log for a week over break for at least a week. We'll be continuing this the week back from break for contrast (think of break as the control condition). Set up your log as a table with the following columns, and then record your data from each night in rows:
--Date/day
--time to bed
--time awake
--dreams? (including fragments; include a summary if yes, whether or not they related to anything that happened that day, and note whether or not they were in color and what stimuli were included--taste, touch, smell, sound--other than visuals)
--how you felt upon waking
--number of naps/additional time slept
--energy level throughout the day
--caffeine intake
We'll analyze everything, Freud-like, after 2 weeks.
