Sleep Flashcards
what is sleep
sleep is a quickly reversible state characterized by decreased reactivity, decreased motor activity and decreased metabolism
functions of sleep
physically restorative energy saving synaptic downscaling emotional functioning cognitive functioning immune system brain rinsing
what is brain rinsing
removing fluid build up from the day.
what drives sleep ? (2 factors)
- circadian rythem (dus door zonlicht en biologische klok, dsu external factoren)
- sleep pressure (Process S) -> hoe erg je lichaam slaap nodig heeft.
wat gebeurde er tijdens het cave experiment
de internal clock werd langer (48)
memory consolidation door…
- encoding
- consolidation REM en SWS
- recall
consolidation =
versterking
targeted memory reactivation
up state cue: als de brainwave omhoog gaat presenteren ze de informatie. Zo onthoud je het sneller.
rythm meten via…
sleep diary en actigraphy (watch that watches movement during sleep)
what is nocturnal sleep and how is it measured?
- Physiology Nighttime, or major, sleep period dictated by the circadian rhythm of sleep and wakefulness; the conventional time for sleeping
- polysomnography –> brain activity meten via EEG en muscle tone en eyemovements
daytime functioning
multi sleep latency test -> to see how well they stay awake
vigilance test -> to see how well they function during the day
waarom wordt muscle tone gemeten met de PSG
- om nocturnal restlessness te meten
en om tussen verschillende sleep stages te differentieren
waves van klein naar groot van EEG
beta
alpha
theta
delta
hoe zie je dat iemand wakker is op een EEG?
eye movement en alpha signal
wat is stage 1
beginnen met in slaap vallen.
je ziet hier:
slowing of activity
rolling of eyes
wat is stage 2
consolidation:
- k complexes
- sleep spindles
