PSYC 208 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Decision-Making, Spasm, Pessimism
Document Summary
Deprivation = no sleep for long period of time. Sleepiness range of levels of alertness energetic, motivated, active, peek, alertness to tired, lethargic, unmotivated (conscious effort not required to be attentive) to drowsy, sleepy (active avoidance to fall asleep is necessary) Pleasant and unpleasant if you are permitted to sleep, and where. Difficulty communicating our sleepiness children under 9 years old (tantrums) + stigma with terms. We do not judge our arousal states well. We tend to underestimate the impact sleepiness has daily and long term. Stanford sleepiness scale (sss): rate every hour during the day how sleep you are. Epworth sleepiness scale: one done in class, rate how sleepy you are during certain activities and add it up. Accumulated amount of sleep less/lost than the daily need. Larger debt = stronger drive/motivation and tendency, short latency. Larger debt = level of cognitive impairment, affective impact (decision making, reaction time, learning, mood, sense of well being, energy)
