Psychological & Brain Sciences 391AF - S-Science of Sleep

The primary goals of this course are to provide a basic introduction to the study of sleep; to provide a basic introduction to sleep disorders including their classification, cause and treatment and; perhaps most importantly, to answer "Why do we sleep?". We will seek scientifically informed answers to questions like: Why do we dream? Do animals sleep? And, what happens when we don't get enough sleep?
