How do you stop the crying?
• If cries because hungry, wet, or in pain
o Food, change diapers, remove the mousetrap from finger

Why do we cry?
• Basic cry: hungry, tired, uncomfortable, complain, see the negative, be snippy
• Mad cry: feel thwarted, righteous indignation, say (or do) things we may come to regret
• Pain cry: physical pain or emotional pain – causes withdrawal depression, stop eating or
doing things
Sleep
• Daylight helps set our biological clock (suprachiasmatic muclleus)
• Melatonin regulates our circadian rhythm
• EEG recording of the brain patterns during sleep
o Height – amplitude
o Frequency – number per second
o Regularity – smoothness – of pattern
