The relevance of the content to your daily lives is the primary reason why I decided to print this article. Part of the assignment is to share the article with your parents and to possibly open up a dialogue about sleep habits. Be prepared for a quiz on the content. I do not expect you to study for hours or memorize significant amounts of material. You should be able to remember at least five facts/conclusions about the information/research in the article. To confirm that your parents have read the article, please have them sign the top of the handout to the right of the title. If your parents do not have time to read the article, have them sign anyway to show that you made the attempt to share the article. If you have had a sibling go through my LA class, you do not have to show the article to your parents.
The article titled Snooze or Lose is from NY Magazine. You can respond to specific research cited in the article or make connections to your sleep habits, moods, and overall cognitive functioning as it relates to sleep. Here is a link to the article in case you misplace the printed copy:
