Q

Why do we sleep? (5 reasons)

A
  1. don’t know exactly
  2. Evolutionary Perspective- hard to gather food at night
  3. Replenishes and restores our bodies
  4. Onset of REM sleep stops the release of NTs
  5. Assist in physical growth & brain development. Release of growth hormones associated with sleep

19
Q

Both Process S and Process C struggle..

A

sleep versus wakefulness

20
Q

Both Process S and Process C influences by…

A

genes and external factors (e.g., food, drugs, meal times, naps, stress, exercise, daily schedules, alarm clocks

21
Q

What is evolutionary perspective of why we sleep

A

it harder to gather food at night

22

A

homeostatic sleep drive from substances in brain

23
Q

What is the effects of jet lag when u shorten the day?

A

lose time

24
Q

What is function of monoamines?

A

permits receptor cells to get necessary rest and increase sensitivity during wakefulness

25
Q

As people age, they get _______ sleep

A

less

26
Q

Evolutionary Theory of Dreaming

A

-allows us to process information critical to our survival. -Inherited from our early animal ancestors…ways to process information 24hrs/day.
- Allows for consolidation of memories

27
Q

what happens to your brain and body during REM sleep?

A

BRAIN: stops the release of NTs =monoamines - permits receptor cells to get necessary rest and increase sensitivity during wakefulness

BODY:
-heart rate increases & becomes irregular
-blood pressure rises,
-breathing increases
-major muscles of the body appear paralyzed (paradoxical sleep)

28
Q

when you travel west, you _____ time

keep you awake (biological clock) and follow 24 hours

30
