This course focuses on various aspects of sleep including physiological regulation, the relationship of sleep with physical health, psychology of sleep, sleep disorders, effects of drugs on sleep, the science of dreaming, and more. Through lectures, reading assignments, videos, semester-long projects, and open discussions/games, this class is designed to explore fascinating and interesting facts about sleep that can work as a basic introduction to further students’ interests.

If you'd like to learn more about the specific topics covered and/or grading logistics of the class, here is a link to our syllabus: https://tinyurl.com/sleepsyllabus

There will be two info sessions for anyone who is interested in taking the course:

- Wednesday (January 30th) in Kroeber 238

- Thursday (January 31st) in VLSB 2062

Both info sessions will run from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Ideally, you should attend the info session that corresponds with the section you wish to enroll in (for example, if you are planning to enroll in the Wednesday section, you should aim to attend the Wednesday info session), but we understand that schedules are still being switched around early in the semester so you are free to attend whichever info session is more convenient for that first week only-- just let us know in person or through email (before the info session ) if you are planning to enroll in a section that is on a different day than the info session which you attended.

If fewer than 25 students attend, we will distribute CCNs at the end of the info session. If more than 25 students attend, we will be emailing out an online application for the course and send out enrollment decisions before the next class. CCNs will not be given out before then.

Feel free to email ritav.97@berkeley.edu if you have any questions or concerns regarding the info sessions, enrollment, course info, etc.!
