Analyze the Study • 1. According to the study, the ( more / less ) spindles you have per minute, the ( better / worse ) you are at sleeping through noise. • 2. Predict: Write a sentence predicting the relationship between about spindles and sleep throughlight. • 3. In this study, people who probably had poor quality of sleep were most likely those with ( high / low ) spindle rates. Explain! • 4. According to the study, which group of people would be most likely to wake up in the middle of the night if the neighbors in the apartment next door started blasting music at 50 dB?
Analyze the Study • 5. Based on the information in the graph, which person is most likely wake up? (Circle one.) • Suzie has a high spindle rate and at 6:30am her brother runs in to wake her up in the morning, screaming at a 70dB level • Pablo has a low spindle rate and at 6:00am a bird flies into the window, hitting it with a crash at a 40dB level • 6. Based on results from the study: • How likely is it that Mr. Smith (who has high spindle rates) would wake up if exposed to his wife’s 50 dB scream when she goes into labor in the middle of the night? ______% likely • How likely is it that Mr. Taylor (who has low spindle rates) would wake up from his lunchtime nap if exposed to the passing period bell at 40 dB? ______% likely
