The Psychology of Sleep and Dreaming (6 sessions – £45) online, tutor-led small group short course for home educated / homeschooling students

Course Summary: Do dreams really have meaning? Why do we sleep? And how does the sun ‘power’ a variety of our most basic human activities. We answer those questions and also explore the role of our brain and the sun, on our circadian rhythms and ultradian rhythms. Join this course to find out all about everything from Sigmund Freud to why living in a cave can tell us about the importance of light for our bodies. This is an excellent stand-alone course but also is a great GCSE taster course for Psychology!
