Brandon did well on his introduction to psych. exam, and he spent the rest of his time writing the 2-page paper due for the class. For this assignment, Brandon had to write about a current event that dealt with one of the topics from the chapter readings. Brandon chose to write about sleep, and we found an article that dealt with a recent study which found that sleep deprivation is becoming an epidemic among American adults. Brandon discovered that this article dealt with concepts like the sleep cycle, melatonin, and the circadian rhythm. Brandon finished the assignment at the end of class, and he was excited for his weekend.
