As adults it is recommended that we get at least 7 hours of sleep everyday. If you started to follow this rule when you are 18 and live to be 80, how many years have you spent sleeping? (you may use 365 days per year, you do not have to account for leap years)
Chanter 6-Sleep -Have a general understanding of the structure of sleep (NREM, REM, and stages) -What is melatonin, where does it come from and why is it important? -What is sleep debt and sleep depravation? -What factors influence sleep?
Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Children who suffer from untreated sleep apnea often have behavior problems, including hyperactivity, inattention, and aggression. A common treatment for pediatric sleep apnea is the surgical removal of enlarged tonsils and adenoids that are obstructing the airways Suppose researchers at a sleep clinic are interested in the effect of surgical treatment for pediatric sleep apnea on aggressive behavior. They study 11 children without sleep apnea, 11 children with...
17. The Sleep Foundation recommends that school age children (6-13 years old) get between 9 and 11 hours of sleep while teenagers (14-17 years old) get between 8 and 10 hours of sleep. Suppose we take a random sample of ten school age children and ten teenagers. Their sleep times are recorded and provided below.

Question 2 Consider the following estimated equation where sleep is the total weekly minutes spent sleeping, age is a person's age, female is a dummy variable that takes the value of 1 if the person is a female and 0 otherwise, and student is a dummy variable that takes the value of 1 if the person is a student and 0 otherwise. Standard errors are in parentheses. sleep = 1.47 - 2.52 age + 0.18 age? +0.721 female - 1.005...

A common treatment for pediatric sleep apnea is the surgical removal of enlarged tonsils and adenoids that are obstructing the airways. Suppose researchers at a sleep clinic are interested in the effect of surgical treatment for pediatric sleep apnea on inattentive behavior. They study 11 children without sleep apnea, 11 children with...

REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is sleep during which most dreams occur. Each night a person has both REM and non-REM sleep. However, it is thought that children have more REM sleep than adults†. Assume that REM sleep time is normally distributed for both children and adults. A random sample of n1 = 10 children (9 years old) showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x1 = 2.8 hours per night. From previous studies, it is known...
