Abstract
Sleep has always been an indispensable part of human nature, yet it is astonishing that the majority of society has a poor understanding of it and fails to understand the significance of it. In fact, famous scientist Thomas Edison once stated, “Sleep is a criminal waste of time, and a heritage from our cave days.” Yet, as an essential operation in our daily schedule, sleep has a plethora of purposes ranging from revitalize the body after a stressful day of work to consolidating memories in order to sharpen one´s mind. Evidently, a majority people are unaware of how imperative it is to attain a proper night of sleep, and how detrimental it is towards one´s health to attain a poor night´s of sleep. This poster aims to educate society on sleep, from the stages of sleep to possible disorders, and to spread awareness of the importance it holds. The poster will be a single sheet display, printed from FedEx. The poster will appear with the following titles: `Dreams,´ `Effects of Sleep Deprivation,´ `K-12 integration,´ `Sleep Disorders,´ and `Stages of Sleep,´ In addition, pictures will be used to supplement each subject covered as well as an overall picture to describe the theme of the poster.
