Sleep Flashcards
what is sleep
reversible behav. state of perceptual disengagement from and unresponsiveness to the env
3 ways sleep is measured
- EEG
- EOG
- Chin EMG
4 key neurotransmitters to waking state
- histamine
- norepi
- serotonin
- ach
what shows in EEG, EOG and EMG in waking state
EEG: low voltage, high freq, alpha rhythm
EOG: rapid, blinking
tone: high
what shows in EEG, EOG and EMG in sleep N1
EEG:
what shows in EEG, EOG and EMG in sleep N2
EEG: vertex K complexes with high voltage negatives
EOG: still
tone: high
what shows in EEG, EOG and EMG in sleep N3/4 -slow wave
EEG: slow wave - high voltage, low freq
EOG: still
tone: low
+ GH release, restorative sleep
what shows in EEG, EOG and EMG in sleep REM
EEG: mixed freq, low volt, sawtooth
EOG: rapid
tone: very low
+ irreg. resp, dreaming state
2 phases of REM sleep
- tonic - impaired thermoreg, hypotension, bradycardia, increased cerebral blood, ICP, erection
- phasic - vasoconstricion, increased bP, tachycard, even high cerebreal flow and ICP
what generates REM sleep
pons critical
% of night in each stage
N1 -5%
N2 - 50
N3 - 20
REM - 25
2 key factors in control of sleep
process C - circadian
process S - sleepoiness
where is sleep initiated
activity in VLPO - increases in adenosine
sleep changes with age
newborn: 18hrs
adol. : 10
adults: 7-9
as age delta sleep goes down
3 key sleep measures
- sleep onset latency - should be under 10min
- REM latency - should be 90
- sleep effic. - time asleep/time in bed - should be 90%
