Psychologists have discovered that human beings experience
several different states of consciousness during the course of a
day. For example, people have times when they are especially alert
and times when they are awake but not alert, often called
"daydreaming." Also, while people are asleep, they experience
different stages of sleep, each characterized by different patterns
of brain and bodily activity.
In a multi-paragraph essay, discuss the different states of
consciousness that you have experienced in the past 24 hours,
including any periods when you were asleep, alert, or
"daydreaming." Be sure to describe both the brain and bodily
activity you experienced during each state of consciousness.
Include information from class materials, readings, and research on
states of consciousness to support your discussion.
