Questions

1. What are the typical effects of short-term (i.e., for a few days at most) sleep deprivation?

2. Compare Doto’s experiences to the typical effects (according to research) of short-term sleep deprivation?

3. Doto reported napping for approximately TWO (2) hours. Were the effects of this nap what you would expect them to be, based on research findings into napping Use examples from Doto (2000) to illustrate. Would different length naps likely have resulted in different effects?

4. Weigh up the long-term positives and negatives of regular napping in a particular population, for example, older adults, young children, Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO) workers, etc. You should focus on the long-term consequences of regular napping, rather than the short-term consequences?
