habits. Students analyze these data in subsequent lessons. They explore<br />

and evaluate their own sleep/wake cycles, and for those with Internet<br />

access, compare their cycles with those <strong>of</strong> other students around the country.<br />

Students also attempt to observe a rhythmic pattern in their assessment<br />

<strong>of</strong> sleepiness throughout the day.<br />
