Being a college student who is often under tremendous amounts of stress, caused me to become more interested in studying the effects college and stress has on sleep. Not only my sleep, but the others around me as well. Because I am already taking a class on sleep, I am constantly aware of how much sleep I receive at night, and whether my circadian rhythm is at a high or low. But I want to study more on how stress and college effects those other students who are not as blessed with certain access to understanding their sleep, like I am. I believe if everyone had the same opportunities that I do, maybe they would receive better sleep, suffer less stress, and enjoy their college experience more then they would have initially.

I that will be a really great paper, I can't wait to hear it, and I know whatever evidence or information you find will be very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Holli and I am very excited for you to go more in depth about students and sleep!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great topic for a college freshman studying sleep, and I think you'll discover there is an abundance of research on students out there. Good luck in your search.
