PHYL160: The Science of Sleep |
Credits: 3 |
PHYL 160 is an introduction to the science of sleep, sleep research and medical disorders associated with sleep. This course will include an overview of topics related to sleep such as human sleep requirements, sleep in animals, and the anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system as it is related to sleep. The student will learn how to recognize healthy sleep and will be introduced to the methods sleep researchers use to diagnose both healthy and disordered sleep. |
Prereq: -, Coreq: - |
PHYL160L: The Science of Sleep Laboratory |
Credits: 1 |
PHYL 160L provides hands-on experience using the scientific method to address theories and questions in sleep science. As a part of the research projects, students will conduct experiments effectively utilizing a variety of equipment used by sleep researchers and sleep disorder clinicians. Topics range from sleep optimization to sleep disorders, with an additional emphasis on sleep debt and community outreach regarding sleep debt related health issues. |
