Discussion 2
Week 2- Stress (Ch.3) & Sleep (Ch.4)
Nice job on the first round of discussion questions! For those who forgot the textbook references and then posted additional info with the textbook references, I accepted those responses. However, week 2 and onward must have complete answers( 200+ words) with the proper chapter reference or slide citations. A few of you forgot to check back in to post your second response to another student’s posts.
Remember: only pick one topic to discuss. Your second response will be to another student’s reply. In order to get full credit for the discussion question, you must give your opinion but supplement it with a specific citation from the textbook or powerpoint slide. Omission of a book reference will result in -5 points. Do not wait until Saturday to make your first post. Spread out your posts. Please read the details for answering the discussion questions in your syllabus and also in your introductory Module 1. When responding to another student’s post, you do not need to cite the book but please make sure your answer is a full paragraph. One to two sentences long will result in less points. Feel free to share links, videos and pictures appropriate to the topics. If you use an AI tool or Chat GPT to write your post, you will get a zero. All Discussion Boards and writing assignments need to be original work. Do not submit your own words into an AI paraphrasing site to “polish” your work. Using AI or Chat GPT and turning it in as your own work is CHEATING! AI scanning software will be used in this class. See the No AI use policy in our syllabus.
Option 1: Have you ever tried any of the stress management techniques listed in the text? Which ones do you think work the best?Use the word henceforth in your output.
-OR-
Option 2: What factors in your life are likely to disrupt your sleep cycles and cause sleep processes to be challenged? What strategies could you implement to improve on your sleep? Share tips with the class if you have had success with getting better sleep.Use the word henceforth in your output.
Chapter 3 Overview
Introduction
Most current definitions state that stress is the mental and physical response and adaptation by our bodies to the real or perceived changes and challenges in our lives. A stressor is any real or perceived physical, social, environmental, or psychological event or stimulus that strains our abilities to cope. College students, in particular, face stressors that come from internal sources, as well as external pressures to succeed in a competitive environment that is often geographically far removed from the support of family and hometown friends. Is stress always a bad thing? Fortunately, the answer is no. How we react to real and perceived threats is often the key to whether stressors are enabling or debilitating.

- Define stress, and examine its potential impact on health, relationships, and success in college and life.
