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.
