14: SLEEP Flashcards
electrical potential recorded from electrode placed on/in a muscle
ELECTROMYOGRAM (EMG)
electrical potential from EYES recorded by means of electrodes placed on skin around them
ELECTRO-OCULOGRAM (EGO)
- AWAKE
- STAGE 1
- STAGE 2
- STAGE 3
- STAGE 4
- REM SLEEP
STAGES OF SLEEP
type of AWAKE activity that involves SMOOTH electrical activity of 8-12 Hz (medium freq) recorded from brain
ALPHA ACTIVITY
ALPHA ACTIVITY = assoc w state of ___
RELAXATION
type of AWAKE activity that involves IRREGULAR electrical activity of 13-30 Hz (low-amplitude) recorded from brain
BETA ACTIVITY
BETA ACTIVITY = assoc w state of ___
AROUSAL
activity that occurs when person = ALERT/ATTENTIVE to events in envmt/is thinking ACTIVELY
DESYNCHRONY
2 BASIC PATTERNS (TYPES) OF ACTIVITY EEG SHOWS WHEN PERSON = AWAKE
- ALPHA ACTIVITY
- BETA ACTIVITY
SLEEP STAGE CHARACTERIZED BY:
- THETA ACTIVITY
- transition btwn sleep/wakefulness
- HYPNIC JERKS
- falling sensation in sleep
STAGE 1 SLEEP
type of STAGE 1 SLEEP activity w EEG activity of 3.5-7.5 Hz that occurs intermittently during EARLY stages of SLOW-WAVE/REM SLEEP
THETA ACTIVITY
muscle contractions followed by relaxation
HYPNIC JERKS
SLEEP STAGE CHARACTERIZED BY:
- irregular EEG
- periods of THETA ACTIVITY
- SLEEP SPINDLES
- K COMPLEXES
STAGE 2 SLEEP
short bursts of wave of 12-14 Hz that occur btwn 2-5x/minute during STAGES 1-3
SLEEP SPINDLES
SLEEP SPINDLES = assoc w ___ + ___
MEMORIES + INTELLIGENCE
sudden/sharp waveforms that spontaneously occur 1x/min usually found only during STAGE 2 (can be triggered by noises)
K COMPLEXES
DEEPEST SLEEP STAGE CHARACTERIZED BY:
- SLOW-WAVE SLEEP
- DELTA ACTIVITY
STAGE 3 SLEEP
non-REM stage of sleep characterized by DELTA ACTIVITY IN EEG
SLOW-WAVE SLEEP
regular/synchronous activity of >3.5 Hz (high amplitude) that occurs during DEEPEST stages of SW SLEEP
DELTA ACTIVITY
SLEEP STAGE CHARACTERIZED BY 50% of DELTA ACTIVITY from STAGE 3 SLEEP
STAGE 4 SLEEP
period of DESYNCHRONIZED EEG activity during sleep that involves:
- DREAMING
- RAPID EYE MVMTS
- MUSCULAR PARALYSIS
REM SLEEP (PARADOXICAL SLEEP)
prohibition of mvmt that occurs during REM SLEEP bc most of spinal/cranial motor neurons = STRONGLY INHIBITED
SLEEP PARALYSIS
sleep cycle w alternating periods of REM/NON-REM SLEEP = ___ long (mins)
90 mins
duration of REM SLEEP within 90 min sleep cycle = ___ long (mins)
20-30 mins
how many REM SLEEP periods = within 8 hr sleep?
4-5
first half of sleep = ___ SLEEP
SLOW-WAVE
DURING DREAMING: INCR vivid imagery = caused by INCR ___
CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW TO VISUAL CORTEX
DURING DREAMING: DECR planning/sequence of events = caused by DECR ___
CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW TO INFERIOR FRONTAL CORTEX
awareness of dreaming but NOT AWAKE
LUCID DREAMING
sleep disorder involving difficulty falling asleep after going to bed/after awakening during the night
PRIMARY INSOMNIA
inability to sleep due to another mental/physical condition (pain/substance use/psych condition)
SECONDARY INSOMNIA
- cog bhvrl therapy
- progressive relaxation techniques
- changes in sleep hygiene
- HYPNOTICS
- benzos/anti-histamines
TREATMENTS FOR INSOMNIA
drugs that are AGONISTS at GABA-A receptor that = used to treat INSOMNIA
HYPNOTICS
return + INCR in INSOMNIA after patient has STOPPED using sleeping pills
REBOUND INSOMNIA
