Biological Rhythms, Sleep and Dreaming: TEST YOURSELF! :3

Not really revision cards, but answering these (from memory, don't use your books!) really helped me, so I thought I should upload them.

When it says 'outline' or 'evaluate' DON'T go into essay-mode. Just jot down a few bullet points, that should be enough. Remember, these aren't serious, and take a break if you need one! ^w^
