Steps 2–4<br />

Give each student a copy <strong>of</strong> the top half <strong>of</strong> Master 3.2, The<br />

Rhythms <strong>of</strong> Sleep, and instruct them to read it.<br />

• Ask the students whether this information helps them<br />

• Ask why our own biological clocks don’t cause our days<br />

to grow longer.<br />
