HBM 08b: Sleep Flashcards
In active mental concentration, EEG, will show predominantly (X) waves.
X = beta
In awake, relaxed/drowsy person, EEG, will show predominantly (X) waves.
X = alpha
Fast-wave EEG characterizes which sleep state?
REM
Non-REM sleep makes up (X)% of sleep time. It has waves of (high/low) frequency and (high/low) amplitude.
X =75
Low; high
Stage 1 sleep lasts (X)% of sleep time and characterized by (Y) wave(s).
X = 5 (very short) Y = theta
Stage 2 sleep lasts (X)% of sleep time and characterized by (Y) wave(s).
X = 45 Y = spindle-shaped (sleep spindles) and K-complexes
Stages 3 and 4 are collectively called (X) sleep and lasts (Y)% of sleep time and characterized by (Z) wave(s).
X = delta/slow-wave Y = 25 Z = slow
Bruxism is (X) and usually occurs in (Y) sleep stage.
X = tooth grinding Y = Stage 2
Sleepwalking usually occurs in (X) sleep stage.
X = delta
Enuresis usually occurs in (X) sleep stage.
X = delta
Night terrors usually occurs in (X) sleep stage.
X = delta
Sawtooth waves in EEG indicate:
REM sleep
Dreaming occurs in which part of sleep time?
REM
REM takes up (X)% of sleep time.
X = 25
Average time until first REM, aka (X), is how long?
X = REM latency
90 minutes
Shortened REM latency can be seen in which disorders?
- MDD
2. Narcolepsy
Patients normally experience REM in periods of (X) minutes, occurring every (Y) minutes.
X = 10-40 Y = 90
Sympathetic activity is (activated/suppressed) in REM.
Suppressed
Penile/clitoral erection occur in which part of sleep?
REM
T/F: all skeletal muscles are completely paralyzed during REM sleep.
False - all skeletal muscles except those controlling respiration, eye movement, and middle ear ossicles
How does sleep latency change with age?
Prolonged
Total sleep time is (increased/decreased/unchanged) with aging.
Decreased
(Decrease/increase/unchanged) number of nighttime wakings in depression.
Increased
List the parasomnias.
- Bruxism
- Nightmare disorder
- Sleep terror
- Sleepwalking
- REM sleep behavior disorder
(X) agents can be beneficial for insomnia due to sedating side effects. Why should they be avoided in (Y) patients?
X = antihistamine (ex: diphenhydramine/benadryl) Y = elderly
Can provoke delirium
A 70-year old patient comes into clinic, requesting medication to relieve insomnia. What’s the best med to prescribe and why?
Trazodone (Desyrel), a sedating antidepressant; prescribing antihistamines in elderly can cause delirium
