Discussion - Strange sleeping disorders

Discussion

After reading Chapter 4 (Unit 2) and viewing the video on strange sleeping disorders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtmwuI-j2Pk, also accessible via the Discussion Articles/Videos link to the left of the screen and under Helpful Resources), respond to the following questions:

--Of the ten disorders, identify the two that you find the most strange and/or interesting and explain your reasons for your response.

--Discuss the roles of race, class, gender, SES, and/or ethnicity as they relate to sleep and sleep disorders--e.g., do these areas of diversity affect the experience of sleep and/or the prevalence rates of sleep disorders (feel free to use any of the information presented in Chapter 4 as well as information from your own experiences to support your reaction).
