Document Summary

Class meq and month of birth data (f17: most of students in this class (and is relatable to previous semesters) - were of intermediate or moderate evening. As you get older, expect that meq score would shift towards the morning. Don"t know how meq is affected based on season and how meq is affected based on time of day. Are some disorders that don"t have a gender or sex predominance. Idiopathic hypersomnia - equally found in males and females, delayed sleep phase and advanced sleep phase, sleepwalking, and some other things as well. Some syndromes that are male predominant - sleep apnea, narcolepsy, kleine-levin syndrome, Female predominance: sleep-related hallucinations, sleep-related eating disorders, restless legs syndrome, many types of insomnias, menstrual-related hypersomnia. Many studies --> relative to men, women tend to sleep longer, tend less towards eveningness. Didn"t find any differences between men and women (in mean sleep hours) --> not significantly different.
