Unit 5

In Unit 5 we learned about the States of Consciousness. This means that we learned about all types of Consciousness  i.e.: R.E.M, Non-R.E.M. We also learned about Sleep Disorders (i.e:Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, Narcolepsy), Dreams and Dreaming, and Psychoactive Drugs.

There are so many different types of drugs that effect the brain and the way it works. There are 4 drug classes Stimulants, Depressants, Opioids, Hallucinogens. each class has a group of drugs and how they effect you with them. There is also a lot of  ways to alter our consciousness with out drugs such as Hypnosis, Meditation, and Sensory Deprivation.
