What's happening: Students in Ms. Alcaide's class explored neuroscience and consciousness through an innovative sleep experiment. They brought blankets and pillows to class, listened to a 25-minute sleep story, and then answered detailed questions about the narrative.
Surprisingly, many students could recall intricate story details despite believing they were fully asleep, demonstrating how the brain processes auditory information during early sleep stages (1 and 2). The exercise provided hands-on learning about sleep science and brain function. 😴
