| This course may be repeated for credit. |
This course is designed to orient students to the fascinating world of sleep and psychosocial functioning, with a focus on the adolescent and emerging adulthood years. We will explore how sleep relates to various aspects of psychosocial functioning, including cognitive development (e.g., memory), emotional well-being (e.g., mental health), social adjustment (e.g., social media use), and cultural contexts (e.g., race-ethnicity). The content for this course is primarily based on published empirical research and theory. The seminar format of this course is designed to facilitate a dynamic and interactive learning environment and requires active participation from all students. |
