PART II

Myers says… Good news! Psychologists have discovered a treatment that strengthens memory, increases concentration, boosts mood, moderates hunger and obesity, fortifies the disease-fighting immune system, and lessens the risk of fatal accidents.

Even Better News… The treatment feels good, it can be self- administered, the supplies are limited and it’s available free! If you are a typical high school senior often going to bed at midnight and dragged out of bed six or seven hours later by the dreaded alarm, the treatment is simple. Each night add an hour to your sleep.

It’s a Fact… Studies show that people who sleep hours a night every night report being “very satisfied” with their personal lives.

Teens and Sleep Teens who typically need 8 or 9 hours of sleep now average less than 7 hours—nearly 2 hours less each than their counterparts 80 years ago. In one survey, 28% of HS students report falling asleep in class at least once a week. When the going gets boring, the students start snoring.

Sleep Deprivation Not sleeping can also make you fatter. Sleep deprivation increases the hunger- arousing hormone ghrelin and decreases it’s hunger-suppressing partner leptin. It also increases the stress hormone cortisol, which stimulates the body to make fat. Sure enough, children who sleep less than normal are fatter than those who sleep more.

Trouble Sleeping Sleep is very important. Especially to those who don’t sleep well. People with Insomnia tend to overestimate (by about double) how long it takes them to fall asleep AND underestimate how long that they actually slept for.

The Problem with Sleep Meds Sleeping pills can aggravate the problem, reducing REM sleep and leaving the person with next-day “blahs.”

Sleep Experts Suggest: 1) Exercise regularly but not in the evening. 2) Avoid all caffeine after early afternoon and rich foods before bedtime. 3) Relax before bedtime, use dimmer light. 4) Sleep on a regular schedule and avoid naps. 5) Hide the clock face so you don’t keep checking it. 6) Reassure yourself that there is

no great problem with some loss of sleep. 7) Manage your stress levels. 8) If all else fails, settle for less sleep, either going to bed later or getting up earlier.

Sleep Disorders  Narcolepsy: Periodic overwhelming sleepiness.  Sleep Apnea: stop breathing intermittently during sleep.

DREAMS A sequence of images, emotions, and thoughts passing through a person’s mind. Dreams are notable for their hallucinatory imagery, discontinuities, and incongruities, and for the dreamer’s delusional acceptance of the content and later difficulties remembering it.

Fun Stuff About Dreams “Follow your dreams, except for that one where you’re naked at work.” --attributed to Henry Youngman

2 Quick Definitions Manifest Content: According to Freud, the remembered storyline of the dream. Latent Content: According to Freud, the underlying meaning of a dream.

Deep Thought Eating Spicy Food Causes Nightmares.

Actually Any food that causes you to awaken more increases your chance of recalling a dream.

HYPNOSIS First of all, what is hypnosis? A social interaction in which one person suggests to another that certain perceptions, feelings, thoughts or behaviors will spontaneously occur.

FACTS AND FALSEHOODS Those who study hypnosis have agreed that its power resides not in the hypnotist but in the subject’s openness to suggestion. Hypnotists have no magical mind-control power; they merely engage people’s ability to focus on certain images or behaviors.

Please Consider Indeed anyone can turn attention inward and imagine is able to experience some degree of hypnosis because that’s what hypnosis is. And virtually anyone will experience hypnotic responsiveness if led to expect it. Imagine being asked to stare at a high spot and then hearing that “your eyelids are growing tired…your eyelids are becoming heavy.” Wouldn’t that work on anybody?

2 TERMS Posthypnotic Suggestion: A suggestion during a hypnosis session, to be carried out after the subject is no longer hypnotized. Used by some clinicians to help control undesired symptoms and behaviors. Dissociation: A split in consciousness. Which allows some thoughts and behaviors to occur simultaneously with others.

Drugs and Consciousness Tolerance: the diminishing effect with regular use of the same dose of a drug, requiring the user to take larger doses before experiencing the drug’s effect. Withdrawal: the discomfort and distress that follow discontinuing the use of an addictive drug.

TERMS Psychoactive Drug: A chemical substance that alters perceptions and moods. Physical Dependence: A physiological need for a drug, marked by unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the drug is discontinued.

MORE TERMS Psychological Dependence: A psychological need to use a drug, to relieve negative emotions, etc. Addiction: compulsive drug craving and use, despite adverse consequences.

3 Categories of Psychoactive Drugs  1) Depressants: such as alcohol and barbiturates and opiates. Reduce neural activity and slow body function  2) Stimulants: such as caffeine, nicotine, cocaine and ecstasy: excite neural activity and speed up bodily functions  3) Hallucinogens: distort perceptions and evoke sensory images in the absence of sensory output.
