Sleep/Stress Analysis

You will review your Sleep Log, reflecting the types of sleep and the impact of sleep deprivation on health. You’ll conduct a short Sleep Analysis using data from your Sleep Log. Referring to the weekly readings, you will identify which level best describes your own stress. You will also self-assess your stress levels and personality type using online tools, and analyze the implications of your own typical and atypical stress levels. You are encouraged to practice stress-reduction techniques, some of which are described in your readings. As a healthcare professional, you will often find yourself in stressful situations, but applying such techniques to yourself will help you teach those skills to your stressed clients. Objective: · Analyze one’s own sleep patterns. · Discuss current research on the negative consequences of sleep deprivation. · Describe the physiological, emotional and behavioral responses to stress. · Discuss components of stress management.
