Are they really unconcious? Are they really reflexes? I would argee
that they are behaviours because sometimes you choose not to get out of
bed on time. Surely, as you say behaviour could be determined by choice
but I would suggest that reflexes are biologically predetermined. I
admit that most behaviours are biologically predetermined as well but
isn`t the element of choice the issue as you suggest?
