Sleep Deprivation

You will conduct a functional analysis of your target behavior, observing your target behavior for at least 1 week. You will submit the 1–2-page Baseline Phase Report, which will consist of 2 parts—a written summary describing your observations of the target behavior during the baseline phase and your narrative of what occurred, along with a graphic representation of this baseline phase.

This assignment is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 4.

*** This assignment is based off of my sleep habits. I am a chronic pain suffer and sleep deprivation has become habitual for me. My bedtime routine starts at 10 p.m. Average time I actually fall asleep is between 3-5 a.m., and I have to get up the next day at 7 a.m. This information need to be included in this along with a chart….however you wish to label information. Thanks!
