Neuroscience and sleep

Sleep Project

You are studying neuroscience and sleep. Your university has been approached by the admin of the local high school. They are noticing that their students are having trouble staying awake in class, grades are plummeting, and poor behavior is increasing. They have reached out to you for your expertise and knowledge on sleep to understand what is going on with their students and to investigate if not enough sleep combined with an early start to the day might be contributing to these problems.

    IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS
13. Each chapter should include text, graphics/diagrams/charts/pictures, video clips (no longer than 1 minute) as applicable, color, creativity. Think of an interactive book. (To the writer: If you could, it would be so helpful that you could add charts or diagrams. I will add graphics and pictures later)
14. Each chapter needs to use at least 2 scientific articles
15. Each chapter should be 4-8 slides long. ( To the writer: I will make the slides. You could just write in a DOC file.)
16. Include citations in MLA format in the speaker notes as appropriate for each slide.
