I am a psychology professor of the university from British Columbia.(22)I specialize in cultural psychology examining similarities and differences between east stations and north Americans. Our research teams have been looking at cultural differences in self-harming motivations. Helping people how to feel their feelings not only themselves but things connected themselves. For example, when you own something. You will be raised more available when you don't own it. It is called the down valuable effect that is stronger in Western cultures than Eastern Asian cultures so we are looking for other ways of seeing with this motivation to view some positively by cultural experiences.

We’d like to say how cultural to save sleep (23)we are still in the laboratory stages for this project. Although what’s known really in east stations on average sleep in less than half each hour of each night and modern American and it is more efficientlynot practicing more invaluable competitive . Other studies have found at even in the Asian sleepabout less than half of the European infants. So we are trying to figure out how culture shapes the ways we sleep.

(24)Our experiment does not take place in the sleep lab. Instead, we lend people motion detecting where they were waking at times. When they haven’t had a shower or swimming , they keep it on. This kind of watches I use in sleep studies as a way of measuring how long people plus sleeping and when they wake up at night. I ’d like take this into a control environment we’ll see whether research points uswe usually comfortable messages and if everything is promising . Then just justify sleep lab and study cultural that way.

Why do we study sleep? (25)Sleep in something unexplored topic I am tracked to it because culture only something.It shaped the way our mind and the body we and sleep in the interaction.
