1. Take the National Sleep Foundation Sleepiness Test (see: https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-habits-assessment (Links to an external site.) ). After completing this survey, compare your typical sleep pattern to the sleep recommendations in Figure 1.4 – Sleep duration recommendations (page 15 in chapter 1 of textbook). Provide a brief overview of your current sleep habits and indicate whether your sleep habits seem to be ‘okay’ or whether you need to make some modifications. If you need to make some modifications in your sleep habits, identify two strategies that you can adopt.

Please submit a one-page summary of your sleep assessment habits from the sleep survey [WebMD] and begin to determine whether your sleep is within the guidelines for your age and what steps you can take to improve your sleep patterns. Make sure to refer to Chapter 1 — Figure 1.4 to identify recommended sleep for a person of your age.

The quiz requires that you take your results for the first 3 “numbered” questions [X + X + XX] and sum them; THEN, take the next 3 questions and sum them — there are 7 areas identified in this quiz that affords you a brief ‘scoring’ of your responses and where you are relative to physical activity. Below this section are various suggestions for overcoming physical inactivity — similar to those presented in your textbook. FROM THIS …. examine your personalized results and begin to develop a behavior contract related to increase your level of physical activity (see an example on pg 75, figure 4.4).
