We have not yet learned about sleep in this course. However, for this assignment, I would like you to start thinking about the importance of sleep. Later in the course, we will have a lecture about sleep and circadian rhythms.

What to include in the essay
Please include the following in your letter:
An introductory paragraph
What psychological factors are supported by sufficient sleep or affected by the lack of it (i.e., memory, attention, concentration, emotional regulation, etc…)?
What physiological factors are supported by enough sleep or disrupted by the lack of it?
What specific suggestions can you provide to ensure adequate amounts of sleep?
A brief closing section that summarizes the main points of the letter.
Note: Be specific and detailed in the presentation of the scientific evidence that describes the importance of sleep for psychological and physiological function.
In-text citations and references
It will be important that you appropriately reference your sources with in-text citations and that you add your references at the end of your letter/essay in APA style. For those of you that have not learned to cite sources in APA style, I have included a module titled “7th edition APA style” in Canvas.
