잠을 잘 때 잘못될 수 있는 것에 대한 과학

Did you know that the average person will spend a total of 26 years of their life sleeping?! But what happens when something goes wrong with your sleep? A sleep disorder is a change in the way you sleep that can affect your overall health and quality of life. In this one-time class, appropriate for middle and high school students, we will discuss a variety of sleep disorders that are commonly seen. We will look at the science behind each and the treatments that can alleviate the disease. 

Each student will interact with the teacher and with other students in class to discuss each sleep disorder taught. Class begins with introducing each sleep disorder (obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, periodic limb movements of sleep, REM behavior disorder, etc.) and seeing video of what the disorder looks like in real life. Students may know someone that a sleep disorder affects. Each student will fill out a worksheet during class and the class will end with a discussion of the worksheet and its answers. 

This class features similar topics with The Science of Sleep and The Science of Dreams classes. These classes are encouraged to be taken to enhance students knowledge of the science aspect of sleep. 

Please note, fewer numbers of students may result in a shortened class time. 

There will be no refunds issued for a student(s) missing class.
