Sleep, Sleep Disorders, and Biological Rhythms
5. Give each student a copy of Master 1.1, What Do You Know (or
Think You Know) about Sleep? Stress that their answers will help
them gauge their own understanding of sleep.
6. After the class has had a few minutes to complete their responses,
engage the students in a discussion of why they answered as they
did. If you prefer, have students write their responses on a piece
of paper.
Teacher note
At the module’s conclusion, students will be presented with the statements
again and asked to write down their responses. They will then compare
their responses with their earlier ones and discuss how the module has
changed their thinking about sleep.
Master 1.2, Supplemental Information—What Do You Know (or Think You
Know) about Sleep?, provides information about each of the 10 statements
on Master 1.1. This information is for your benefit. After Lesson 5, you may
decide to make a copy of this material available to students. Additional
information is found in the Information about Sleep material.
Activity 2: Sleep Diary
Teacher note
After students assess their present knowledge about sleep in Activity 1, they
evaluate their own sleep habits using the data they have recorded in their
sleep diaries.
