Hey Cara,
Firstly just want to say thanks for all your help you gave for paper 3 and my previous threads it is very much appreciated.

I just wanted to ask a couple questions about your next complete companion book – I think you mentioned somewhere you guys were looking to release one with the updated spec sometime in FEB? Is this right?

Also secondly I was wondering if could make a few polite suggestions for the book as some elements I think really need some better clarification just to simplify things (I hope you dont mind; I mean it purely to improve understanding for people)

For certain things I think the book assumes we know certain things too much when we dont; for example in the current CC book with evolutionary theories of sleep; it highlights numerous theories (energy conservation,predation, foraging requirements etc) but it doesnt actually explain simply whether they are seperate theories or actually one whole theory.

I found this confusing as many times I didnt know where one theory ended specifically and another started! I thought they all were one single theory!

Also other things like functions of sleep and Nature of sleep; I found this very confusing to distinguish between because when questions come up on “nature of sleep” I dont know which I can use? Do I use lifespan changes in sleep? restoration theory? evolutionary theory? Its really unclear and a bit of advice on such things would really be helpful like:
“If a question asks discuss nature of sleep; these are the topics you can discuss”

or “If functions of sleep is asked; these are the topics you can discuss” just for some better clarity.
As someone who has been studying without any teachers in my spare time and no one to ask; such things would be lifesavers.
I met other candidates that were using your book at the private centre and they all agreed many elements need better defining with just simple guidance here and there I think.

I hope this helps improve future books and I will keep a sharp eye for your next book for paper 4.
Any details on that?

many thanks!
