Outline of Informative Speech Sexomnia – By: Nicole Kaspar 2004 AGD – A story of a bouncer who experienced sexomnia and after visiting his doctor discovers he has the condition. Transition – Now, falling asleep after sex is common, but during sex? Apparently it’s not that unusual at all — it’s called ‘sexomnia’. Significance • Dr. David Saul Rosenberg on Kaiser Permanente Medical Center’s Sleep Clinic’s website: ‘I’ve had a number of patients who realized that a lot of their lovemaking was occurring while they were unconscious. One patient’s girlfriend noticed while they were making love that he was snoring.’ • Sleepsex: Uncovered by: Dr. Michael Mangan – two and a half million Americans have reported experience with sexomnia and many instances of sleepsex go unreported because people are afraid, embarrassed or ashamed to discuss the problem. • Dr. Mark Mahowald on Fox News, on October 30th, 2003: ‘You can be assured that it’s much more common than people think. Nobody talks about it…it’s not the sort of thing you bring up at the neighborhood cocktail party.’ Preview – Fortunately, an academic setting such as this is not a cocktail party and we need to know more about this little known condition so let’s first, open our eyes to the physiological factors of sleepsex, second, pull the covers off of the different types of sleepsex, and finally, expose its legal implications. Body I. Physiological Factors • May, 2003, press release from the Stanford University Medical Center: Sexomnia is caused by glitches in the brain waves during sleep. • March/April 2003, Psychosomatic Medicine: Patients had unusual patterns during one of the sleep stages during occurrences of sleepsex. • Dr. Colin Shapiro in the January, 2004, Redbook: These neurological hiccups during the sleep cycle are ‘much more likely to occur when there is sleep deprivation or alcohol abuse.’ • Dr. Allan Hobson, director of Harvard University’s neurophysiology lab, Sleep (2000): ‘We know that sexual arousal can be automatic in sleep. Low-level brain mechanisms, like those critical to sexual intercourse, are activated; higher functions — like judgment and memory — are disabled.’ Transition – So, now that we know what goes on in the brains of those with sexomnia, let’s turn our attention to what goes on in their beds. II. Types of Sleepsex A. Types • Previously cited Stanford Study: Two women made loud and continuous sexual moaning sounds during the night and felt embarrassed and guilty that her moaning disturbed her spouse and children. • Story of man who masturbated upon a friend while asleep. • Website Sleepsex.org: Story of a woman who didn’t believe her boyfriend’s story that she masturbated in her sleep, until he videotaped her doing so. • October 30th, 2003WebMD: Story of woman who said her husband initiated rougher sex when he was asleep and had no memory of it but that she liked it. B. Pros and Cons • Sleepsex: Uncovered: Dr. Mangan said some men and women ‘indicate that they very much enjoyed waking the experience of sleepsex even though their sex life was fine when they were awake. • Story of a woman who likes that her husband has sleepsex and says he’s a better lover when he’s asleep. • Sleepsex: Uncovered: ‘The majority of the negative sleepsex experiences have to do with fear and anxiety over one’s own or a partner’s sleepsex.’ • Story of a woman said that she had to leave her boyfriend because it felt like she was being assaulted. Transition – And it is this negative part that leads to the legal implications of sleepsex. III. Legal Implications • Sleepsex cases have found their way into the courtroom. • Previously cited Stanford Study: Frighteningly, some cases of sexomnia resemble ‘rape or rape-like behavior.’ • Story of a a youth leader who woke up and found he had been performing oral sex on a 14 year old boy whom he lived with. • Summer 1998 Archives of Sexual Behavior: Case of a 45 year-old man who fondled a 14 year old friend of his daughter while he was asleep. Charges were filed and his attorneys didn’t believe it was sleepsex but he was exonerated in court. • June 2003 Canadian Journal of Psychiatry: There are many cases of men who were charged with sexually assaulting their partners, or even their own children, however, all were exonerated after doctors found evidence of sexomnia. • October 17th, 2003 ABC News: Because it is evidenced by significant and measurable changes in brain wave patterns, ‘signs of sexomnia are pretty tough to fake,’ and ultimately that is why the courts have supported the legitimacy of the defense. • Sleepsex: Uncovered: Story of Debra who admitted she once ‘accused a man of date rape, he insisted’ she was the one who initiated it, however, five years into her marriage that she did, indeed, suffer from sleepsex. Review/Conclusion – From the physiological factors, to its various types, to the legal implications, it’s clear that sleepsex is a very real phenomenon. A phenomenon that affects over two and a half million Americans, and maybe someday one of us, unless of course you live alone… and never spend the night at a friend’s house.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
