[PSYCH] SLEEP Flashcards
Cycle changes in sleep apnea
decreased
Stage 1
Stage 3,4
REM
narcolepsy tetrad
sleep attacks + EDS
Cataplexy
Hypnagogic hallucinations
sleep paralysis
REM disorder
Narcolepsy
narcolepsy is linked to
orexin deficiency
narcolepsy TTT
CNS stimulants for EDS
TCA for Cataplexy
severe obstructive & mixed apnea TTT
tonsillectomy
tracheostomy
most effective TTT in insomnia
behavioral therapy
night terrors occur during
Stage 4
somnambulism occurs during
Stage 4
first 1/3 of the night
enuresis occurs during
Stage 3,4
SIDS incidence decreased by
placing baby on its back
SIDS RF
maternal smoking
2ry insomnia due to
medication abuse
anxiety & depression
REM
lower physiologic arousal levels
recalled after waking
waking time anxiety
Nightmares
NREM Stage 4
MC in boys
high physiologic arousal levels
not recalled
waking time anxiety
Night terrors
Stage 3,4
MC in boys
same-sex parent
common after change/new sibling
Enuresis
Bruxism occurs during
Stage 2
Bruxism TTT
oral devices
anxiety reduction
sleep deprivation affects
cerebral cortex
lymphocytes levels in sleep deprivation
DECREASED
Cortisol levels in sleep deprivation
INCREASED
chronic use of BZDs leads to
increased sleep latency
awake brain
idle body
REM
idle brain
awake body
NREM
Recovery from sleep deprivation is marked by
increase in Stage 4 & REM
responsible for Jet lag
Melatonin
increased dopamine
increases wakefulness
serotonin levels once sleep begins
INCREASE
Dopamine levels once sleep begins
DECREASE
Biochemical marker for REM
Ach:NE
effects of depression on sleep cycles
↑REM
↓REM latency
↓ Delta sleep
early morning awakenings
alcohol intoxication effects on sleep
↓REM
REM rebound + nightmares (on withdrawal)
moderate alcohol consumption effect on sleep
early sleep onset
wakefulness during second 1/2 of night
BZDs chronic use
↑sleep latency
barbiturates effect on sleep
↓REM
REM rebound + nightmares
males
decreased Stage 1, 3, 4 , REM
obesity
EDS
snoring
Sleep apnea
60-seconds hyperventilation followed by apnea
Cheyne-Stokes
old age effect on sleep
total sleep time= DECREASED
↓REM
↓Delta
delta sleep is increased following
exercise (↑cerebral temp)
hormonal changes occurring during sleep deprivation
↑PRL
↑5HT
↑TSH
↓DA
REM deprivation affects
performance of complex tasks
REM sleep functions
learning
consolidation
cerebral stimulation during sleep
dampens excitement
clear out brain cache
the longer the period of wakefulness and sleep deprivation
the more stage 4 INCREASES
the more REM DECREASES
REM latency
90 minutes
Regulates circadian rhythym
Suprachiasmatic nucleus
waking up occurs during
REM/Stage 2
aroused EEG
associated w/ pons
saccadic eye movement
elaborate visual imagery
REM
slowing of EEG
higher muscle tone
absence of eye movement
absence of mental activity
NREM
