Question

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.

Answer 1

After leaving the bed I have to do some basic activities and these are instinctive like going to toilet for washing face and so on. In my mind there are many activities that will be done in the office. I keep in mind these activities and I call my friends. In the mail time my father also called me and he discussed a different matter regarding the illness of his wife. So I also begin to think of the illness of his wife and what will happen if he goes to different hospitals.

In the meantime I am ready to go to the office and now I go the bus stop and take bus and all the activities are done according to my instinct because I do these things everyday. Then I take the bus and when I find and empty seat I take it and I recall in various events. For these activities I do not need to do any special attention to these activities. I am conscious how to manage the work in the office.

In the meantime when I was in the bus I was thinking and other things. I saw many sign boards outside of the bus through the windows and different sign boards were there. I thought of my parents and my childhood days and my love and children but all all these thinkings came in the fluctuate ways. when the bus stop at my destination I instinctively arrived from the bus and reached my office and my works and did conversation with my friends and colleagues.

in my return journey I also think of some words spoken by some passengers in the bus. But I did not think of many words. Some of the words are very impressive and I spent some time thinking of these words and got a mental satisfaction and I began to think of these words. Then I suddenly shifted from the consciousness to day dream and now I think of the future and I think how it will be and how I would go rich and famous and I think how people will talk about me and how I will be favoured by all types of people.

In the night I also dream many things to stop but friend that sleep broken I fail to remember what I had in dream. I also think many other hazard matters and most of the matters I forget at the end of the day.
