The DVD homework assignment for this week is the first exercise on the Stress Relief DVD called the "PowerNap"

Practice doing this exercise at least two (2) more times according to the instructions on the DVD. One of those times, do it immediately before you get into bed to sleep at night. Make it be the very last thing you do before your head hits your pillow.

Do it at times when you will not be disturbed. It lasts approximately 15 minutes.

In a typed format, respond to the following items:

1. How you felt before the exercise
2. Your experience during the exercise
3. How you felt immediately following the exercise
4. How you felt long after completing the exercise, or how you slept and awakened the following morning

On your typed paper, thoroughly respond to each of these items referring to the two times that you did them at home, and the time that you did it with us in class. Describe primarily how you were feeling in relation to your stress levels.

Follow this general outline with your description:

Afternoon:

	Before
	During
	Immediately after
	Long after

Right before bed:

	How quickly you fell asleep
	How you slept
	How refreshed you felt in the morning
	How this differed from a typical night’s sleep

Be thorough with your description of your experience and how you felt.

Type all of this information in your word processor. Be sure to save it, and check it for spelling and grammar errors.
