LASA 1 Data Tracking Sheet Data A Fill out this form every morning for 3 days. Data B Fill out this form every morning for 3 days after reading, researching, and practicing breathing technique. This needs to include using the breathing technique after entering bed, being quiet, in the dark, with the breathing technique done at least 10 times. You can include the rest of your paper here. (Feel free to use the below outline, or create your own.) Introduction to Breathing *include things researched about breathing, sleeping problems, and what this paper is going to cover. Summary of Results *include things like the mean (average) amount of time it took you to fall asleep during the normal phase and the alternative breathing phase, number of times waking, and the restfulness score each morning from the data you gathered from the Data A and Data B section. Was there a difference between the two conditions (normal vs. alternative nostril breathing)? Was the hypothesis that alternative nostril breathing works as a natural sleep aid was supported through the study? Biological Perspective *include things like how alternative nostril breathing works as a natural sleep aid, what biological systems might be involved, and how it might help from a biological perspective. Do these claims make sense biologically? Is there scientific or biological evidence that could support this technique? Why would this method work biologically? Cultural and Ethical Implications *include things like research of natural versus medical remedies for sleep. Make sure to address how such remedies apply to various clients and the strengths and weaknesses of both types of remedies. Why might some people have a cultural struggle with using a technique like this? What are some differences between Western medicine and Eastern medicine? Scientific Perspective *include things like why some people might be skeptical of this technique. What are the steps and process of the scientific method? Are potential objectives related to cultural issues (i.e. Western medicine vs. Eastern)? What scientific methods used are used in various studies, etc? What are the stages of applying the scientific method? Summary *include things like a summary paragraph of your results, a summary paragraph of the biological components involved, a summary paragraph about cultural and ethical implications, and a summary paragraph about the scientific perspective. Day 1 2 3 Average scores/Amounts What did you do during the 30 minutes before bed? (routine, brushed teeth, etc?) What time did you go to bed last night? How long did it take to fall asleep? Did you wake up during your sleep? How many times? How long? Did you get out of bed? What time did you get up? How much total sleep did you get? Rate your restfulness on a scale of 1-10 (1 = no restfulness) (10 = fully rested) Anything usual that could have impacted sleep (feeling sick, significant other snoring, etc?)
