Suppose so, I mean they say that repressed desires can cause conflicts and so It may prevent people from sleeping. However sleep is also meant to help these conflicts so it wouldnt make alot of psychological sense.
I think there must be some biological reasons aswell.

True.
Maybe I ain't producing my Acetycholine properly.

La Trampa

so not producing enough ACh leads to insomnia? lol i don't think so. i'd be thinking having loads of it would,because that'd mean you're producing so many impulses that your brain is not resting and keeping you up from thinking about stuff....

it looks ok saiya...but maybe you could use both male and female,so you get a fair result.because men and women are different,so when you get your results,you could say it's a fairly accurate assumption that the whole population is like that.i'm not sure but i guess that could make it better. :smile:

but so far it looks ok :biggrin:

you'll have to ask the others obviously.

yea, tis hard to have done considering this is an all boys school (and mainly all boys 6th form) :frown:

will include that in the discussion tho :wink:

uhh, i'm not too sure as to whether i have the idea of dissonance correct or not, because i talk about how 2 health beliefs vary from participant to participant (in the hypothesis and background) but in the evaluation, i suggest that because there is no significant difference between the smokers' perception of the harm (seriousness) and cues to action (advertisements etc) then dissonance does not occur (because dissonance in this case would be a smoker identifying the cues to action present, but rating the perceived seriousness as low).
