Sleep and Sleep Disorders

When most of us cover States of Consciousness, we might give passing mention to sleep disorders.  As someone who suffers from sleep apnea, I choose to spend a little more time, especially with the condensed time frame teenagers have to sleep--dealing with their enforced insomnia. 

 

Stanley Coren has an excellent book that I've been using for years called, Sleep Thieves.  In the book, there is a 17 question "quiz" about symptoms related to too little sleep.  We go over the results that the book gives and describing the lack of functioning that we tend to have as a result of too little sleep.  A lively discussion follows.  I will be sharing some additional sleep-related posts the rest of this week.
