PSYC 50.15 Sleep and Sleep Disorders

Sleep is a bodily function that is preserved among all animal species.  Sleep is essential for life and optimal functioning.  This course will examine the neuroanatomical and neurophysiologic underpinnings of sleep.  Normal and disordered sleep will be discussed.  The pathologic processes that disrupt normal sleep and lead to disordered sleep in human beings will also be examined.  The consequences of disordered sleep, inadequate sleep or poor-quality sleep on individuals and society as a whole will be discussed.
