Welcome to the Psychology of Sleep. We will cover topics including the neurological processes of sleep, dreaming, and consciousness, as well as sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, insomnia, and hypersomnia. This class is designed to be interactive, with lectures and activities designed to give you a unique experiential learning experience. Not only will you learn about sleep in general, you will also gain insight into your own sleeping patterns. Being able to write and talk about the topics in sleep science are imperative to sleep education learning and outreach.
