Bio of all individuals presenting this work I have been a student at FSU Panama City since Fall 2021. I used my Associate's Degree from Gulf Coast State College to transfer to a top Florida university. I was invited to the undergraduate research symposium by Dr. Irvin Clark in the 2022-2023 Academic year, and I presented at it a year later in the 2023-2024 Academic year. I am an AB Honor Roll student, and I hope to one day receive a scholarship to a seminary school where I plan to study to become a minister. I hope to pursue a career in the ministry in the near future.

Poster Title The Brain and the Alarm Clock Theory

Abstract This is continued research on an experiment conducted during the 2023-2024 Academic Year, testing theories about the relationship between the brain and the alarm clock. Observational Research was done with me as the participant and the researcher in the experiment. Peer-reviewed journals are supported by dream theories, and going to bed at a reasonable hour between 10:00 and 10:30 PM. A wake-up time will be set between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM with the traditional alarm clock and the alarm on my cellphone. The alarm clock will have a traditional alarm sound set to a volume on a scale of 1 to 4. Level 1 is the minimum volume, while Level 4 is the maximum volume: "The Fall Out of Bed volume".
