A2 Psychology - Biological Rhythms and Sleep Quiz!!

This is a quiz asking question so on the Unit 3 topic "Biological Rhythms and Sleep". I know there is variation in studies/rhythms etc that you study so if you haven't done those that i have, don't worry - there isn't more that you need to know, it just different stuff.

also in some of the answer i may have made up some of the (wrong!) answers so again if you haven't heard of them, then don't worry they're probably have nothing to do with psychology or the topic.

the second and third answers are the wrong way round, infradian rhythms last longer than 24 hours and ultradian rhythms are less than 24 hours.

Really good quiz, but not so many "who said this" questions are needed as you don't have to know their names for the exam
