Midterm Madness (11)

As I think back to the beginning of this semester, it's crazy to think about how much I've learned solely about sleep!  Before this class, I knew only bits and pieces about REM sleep and obviously about the physical aspects of sleep, but now I know so much more from circadian rhythms all the way to sleep inertia, sleep drive, and sleep debt.  While preparing for the upcoming midterm, my nerves are starting to kick in just a little bit!  I feel like we've learned a lot of information that we need to retain, so I'm a little worried about trying to remember everything.  But with the rest of today and tomorrow to study and prepare, I think I'll score decently on the midterm.  What I'm enjoying most thus far are any discussions about dreams and nightmares.  For some reason, dreams and nightmares are extremely intriguing to me.  If I can find enough research and topics to talk about in regards to dreams and nightmares, I think I might choose to write my paper about them!

  2. A paper on dreams and/or nightmares would be awesome. I fully support your topic if you end up going in this direction.
