Studies were taking on teens sleeping schedule and how early they wake up, and the teens need more sleep in general, so forcing them to be up early for school cuts into their sleep time as well as their sleep rhythm, making them less ready to learn during those first-period classes.Schools across america have tried this by delaying the tardy bell to an hour later and their results showed a decrease in tardiness. Studies show the later classes begin, the…

Q10. There are five different stages of sleep that a person goes through when they are sleeping. These stages are differentiated by the theta activity (slow wave sleep) that takes place in each stage. The first stage that takes place involved theta activity which means the firing of neurons in the neocortex has begun. During this level of sleep there is an EGG level of 3.5-7.5 HZ. The EEG level is the electrical activity that takes place within the brain, it is recorded through electrodes that…
