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 />
