Q

2 phases of REM sleep

A
  1. tonic - impaired thermoreg, hypotension, bradycardia, increased cerebral blood, ICP, erection
  2. phasic - vasoconstricion, increased bP, tachycard, even high cerebreal flow and ICP

Q

3 key sleep measures

A
  1. sleep onset latency - should be under 10min
  2. REM latency - should be 90

Q

6 drugs affecting sleep

A
  1. anithistamines -drowsy
  2. stimulants
  3. caffeine -adenosine antag
  4. benzos - reduce slow wave
  5. antidepress - reduce REM
  6. Alcohol - faster onset, but more arousals
17
Q

what is circadian rhythm

A

internal pacemaker set to 24hrs

18
Q

where is main control center of circadian rhythm

A

SCN - has control over slave organs, but they also have indiv. molecular control

19
Q

3 general types of insommnia and causes

A
  1. initiation - rule out restless legs and breathing
  2. maintenance- intrinisic sleep problems
  3. awakinging - depression or breathing
20
Q

3 examples of insomnia subtypes

A
  1. psychophysiologic - learned behaviors
  2. sleep state mispercetion - think they are up all night, but aren’t
  3. fatal family insomnia- rare neurodegen. disorder
21
Q

5 behav. treatments for insomnia

A
  1. sleep log
  2. sleep hygene
  3. stim. control
  4. sleep restriction
  5. relaxation response
22
Q

what is sleep apnea

A

disordered breathing causing waking, with sig. morbidity (hypertension, stroke, sleepiness, accidents)

23
Q

clinical aspects of obstructive sleep apnea

A
  1. 17 inch neck circumference
  2. obesity
  3. excessive daytime sleepiness
  4. morning headache
  5. nasal disorders
  6. position or alcohol
  7. neuromuscular disorders
24
Q

diff between apnea and hyponea

A

apnea - no breathing for 10 minutes

hypopnea - reduced airflow for 10 minutes

25
Q

3 types of apnea

A
  1. obstructive - paradox of muscles
  2. central - no effort
  3. mixed
26
Q

causes of central sleep apnea (6)

A
  1. heart failure
  2. syringopulbia
  3. lateral medullary syndrome
  4. other brainstem function
  5. atlantoaxial subluxation
  6. myotonic dystrophy
27
Q

what is restless legs

A

urge to move accompanied by uncomfortable sensation that are releived with movement

28
Q

relation of RLS to periodic limb movement disorder

A

90% of RLS have PLMD

Q

causes of RLS (4)

A
  1. central spactiticy or peripheral radiculopathy
  2. alcohol
  3. pregnancy
  4. Fe def.
30
Q

treatment of RLS (3)

A
  1. underlying conditions
  2. DOPA agonists before bed
  3. sinemet - avoid
