Read the following instructions carefully and address the tasks described:

CHOOSE ONLY ONE OF THE ASSIGNMENTS BELOW!

Assignment A: Label your assignment “Eating Habits.” Using one of either the Weekly Food Diary or the Food and Mood Journal under “Assignment” for this topic, track your habits as indicated on the sheet for at least 4 consecutive days. Also track your affect, mood, and energy level whenever you make entry.

Assignment B: Label your assignment “Sleep Habits.” Using the Sleep Diary under “Assignment” for this topic, track your habits as indicated on the sheet for at least 4 consecutive days. Also track your affect, mood, and energy level whenever you make entry.

For Either Assignment: Strive to be as accurate as possible in your record keeping because you may only be working with 4 days’ worth of data. Do the following:

• After tracking your habits for at least 4 consecutive days (so as to limit bias to your data), research and report on expert recommendations for making healthier choices in the area you chose, nutrition or sleep. You may use the textbook chapters 18 & 19 and any additional resources from PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS or REPUTABLE PUBLIC HEALTH/HEALTHCARE AGENCIES you choose.
• You must use at least one source besides the text that you’ve found on your own.
• Referring to these recommendations, report on any apparent patterns of your behavior that are healthier and identify at least one area that needs improvement.
• You are not required to turn in your records (you are on your student’s honor to complete them), only to discuss the trends you observe.
• Write a general goal to address your identified area of improvement.
• Formulate a plan to address your identified area of improvement.
• Finally, discuss how achieving your goal might affect your affect, mood, and energy level, current levels of stress, and ability to cope with future stressors.
