Sleepy time

The headline reads "Don't bank on weekend to make up for sleep loss" and the article talks about the way people try to make up for lost sleep.

Many of the choices we make effect our health and our performance. For this project you should start by reading this article. Then write a paragraph that summarized the article. Paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Then you should find and link to an article about one of these topics:
1. Factors that we can change that effect our health.
2. Changes a person can make to their lifestyle that can improve their performance or longevity.
3. A way that science (high tech exercise or monitoring, vitamin/medications to make us healthier) can change our lives or healing.

Finally write a paragraph summarizing the material in that article. Again, paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Make sure you put your ID and class section on your work. This project is due by midnight Sunday, 1/31. Remember that you need to do either this or the previous project. If you do both projects one will count for extra credit. If you did not do the previous article you must do this one.

Then you should find and link to an article about one of these topics:

2. Other health effects of smoking and/or drinking.
3. What cancer is and other possible causes.

Finally write a paragraph summarizing the material in that article. Again, paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Make sure you put your ID and class section on your work. This project is due by midnight Sunday, 1/17. Remember that you need to do either this or the next project. If you do both projects one will count for extra credit. If you do not do this article you must do the next one.
