Also, here are the directions for the sleep log I mentioned in class today.  Please set up the chart and start logging your sleep next week - Monday 12/17 should be day 1.

For our next unit, you need to keep a sleep log for at least two weeks, one of which needs to be a week of vacation.  Set up your log as a table with the following columns, and then record your data from each night in rows:
--Date/day
--time to bed
--time awake
--dreams? (including fragments; include a summary if yes, whether or not they related to anything that happened that day, and note whether or not they were in color and what stimuli were included--taste, touch, smell, sound--other than visuals)
--how you felt upon waking
--number of naps/additional time slept
--energy level throughout the day
--caffeine intake

Here are the answers to exercise 17.1 ("Between a rock and a hard place") on the different types of stressors:
dentist = approach-avoidance, ice cream flavors = approach-approach, bad breath but attractive = approach-avoidance, class time = avoidance-avoidance, vacation spot = approach-approach,  medical treatment = avoidance-avoidance (this is actually a double approach-avoidance, since there are pros and cons for both options), colleges = approach-approach, steak or ribs = avoidance-avoidance, car =  approach-avoidance, plastic surgery = approach-avoidance
