 Over break: Starting 12/26, start keeping track of: 
-how many hours of sleep you get -your caffeine intake
-your energy level and mood at three points during the day:
--when you wake up
--in the mid-afternoon
--at night

 Your energy level should be tabulated as a number between 1 (little energy) and 10 (highly energetic) Likewise, track your mood using a number between 1 (awful mood) and 10 (fantastic mood). Please note any unusual circumstances that might affect your sleep, caffeine intake, energy level, or mood. How you choose to keep track of your data is up to you. Keep in mind that you will be doing some analysis of this data, so it should be organized in a sensible way. I will be looking for your data from Dec. 26 through Jan. 2, so don't skip a day.

 Due by Friday after break and worth 5 points on your last test:

 Go to http://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/Default.aspx, register and choose either two shorter tests (10 questions or less) or one longer test (20 or more questions), and write a short summary and analysis. Either print out your results or include them in your write-up. Also comment on how accurate you found your results and whether you think this test has value. Length should be about 1 typed, double spaced page in 12 point font. Please choose a test other than the Via Strengths test (longer version), since we'll be doing that one later this year.
