A dream diary (or dream journal) is a diary in which dream experiences are recorded. A dream diary might include a record of nightly dreams, personal reflections and waking dream experiences. It is often used in the study of dreams and psychology. 

Dream diaries are also used by some people as a way to help induce lucid dreams. They are also regarded as a useful catalyst for remembering dreams. The use of a dream diary was recommended by Ann Faraday in The Dream Game as an aid to memory and a way to preserve details, many of which are otherwise rapidly forgotten no matter how memorable the dream originally seemed. 

Keeping a dream diary conditions a person to view remembering dreams as important. Dreams can be recorded in a paper diary (as text, drawings, paintings, etc.) or via an audio recording device (as narrative, music or imitations of other auditory experiences from the dream). 

Sleep problems are a common and disruptive symptom of mental illnesses that are often overlooked. Sleep deprivation can contribute to moodiness, high blood pressure, poor concentration, the prolongation of mental illness, work difficulties, auto accidents, and more.

Whether the problem is insomnia, hypersomnia, or something else, a Sleep Diary is an essential tool for tracking sleep, and any factors that might be contributing to disturbances. 

The sleep log asks about bedtime habits, substances that might interfere with sleep, the effects of sleep, and more. We've split the log into two halves—one to be completed first thing in the morning, and the other just before bed at night. We recommend tracking sleep for a minimum of one week, but aim for 2-3 weeks if you can.

You must complete the diary in conjunction with using a sleep-bot app. 

1. Use a sleep-bot to record your sleep and screen shot the data.
2. Turn in this data with your Sleep Diary  
3. A list of highly recommended sleep-bot apps are available here.

From Kramer's no-knock policy to Jerry's dry sense of humor. For many people, there simply isn't a more hilarious sitcom than Seinfeld. It changed the game when it premiered in the summer of 1989 and showed people that a "show about nothing" could be funny, clever, and addictive. The show made stars out of the four main cast members, and even to this day, the show lives on thanks to reruns, streaming services, and loyal fans who watch the DVDs over and over again.

On Seinfeld, it's all about the characters. They are a bit dark, plenty sarcastic, and yet always charming. Here are the Myers-Briggs® personality types of the Seinfeld gang.

1. To complete this assignment, you must first be familiar with the characters. You may need to watch a few shows to re-familiarize yourself with the traits and quirks of the characters. 
2. Take the M.B.T.I. as if you were each of the four characters.
3. Save a screen capture of the character's personality type.
4. Create a character profile for each character using the M.B.T.I profile and using a scene from the show to support your result. This should be as detailed as possible and no less than 200 words per character profile.

• Elaine Benes

The Big Bang Theory characters are definitely strong (and straightforward) personalities - where do they fit with the Myers-Briggs® system?

The Myers-Briggs® Type Indicator is a fascinating tool, isn’t it? If you’re one of those people who love to people-watch, analyze others and look into the characters in your favorite shows just a smidge too deeply, you can spend hours on end sorting people into their specific MBTI®s.

The essence of the theory is in making Jung’s idea of personality types more digestible, easier to apply and understand. To determine somebody’s MBTI®, bite-sized chunks of their personality (whether they’re introverted or extroverted, ‘thinkers’ or ‘feelers’) are considered in a simple one-or-the-other fashion, each corresponding to a different code (E for extraversion, I for introversion). Eventually, you arrive at their full MBTI®, which could be ESTJ or INTP for instance.

Of course, there’s no hard-and-fast category that each individual falls into, and there’ll always be some debate about a specific person’s placement. Let’s take a closer look at what some of the different MBTI® categories mean, using the characters of The Big Bang Theory as examples.
