Psychology Reflection Paper The top ten things that I learned this semester in psychology were as follows; The importance of sleep, the negative effects that stress has on your body and brain, the process of neurogenesis, the knowledge I gained about psychological disorders and their symptoms, effective and healthy ways to cope with stress, the treatment of psychological disorders, variations in consciousness, motivation, psychological experiment guidelines and laws regarding experimentation, and social behavior. Learning about the importance of sleep and the negative effects of sleep deprivation, I found the knowledge I gained most applicable to my life. Just because as a college student, I know the stereotype of staying up late studying or goofing around is very accurate. At least for me I certainly found the information regarding sleep debt and the studies done about it to be very interesting. The video we watched about the study of people who were sleep deprived and how much it negatively affected their motor skills and cognitive abilities was the most interesting. After learning about sleep deprivation and the negative ways it affects the brain and body, I made conscious efforts to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Since then, if I get less then that, I can definitely notice the difference and its negative affect. The second most important thing I feel I learned from psychology was the negative affect that stress has on your body and brain. This year my most common types of stress were conflict, change, and pressure. I ran into some conflicts with friends and other social interactions, which stressed me out. The change I faced was the transfer from high school to my first semester of college at Las Positas. While it wasn't a bad change, Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe have explored the idea that even good changes can represent a type of stress. As defined by our textbook, life changes
