Q

Briefly describe the evolutionary model of sleep.

A

Humans are not well adapted to operating at night (poor night vision, would be very vulnerable). Sleep is an adaptive mechanism to get around this. Suggested that changes in circadian rhythm with age ensure someone is on guard at all points throughout night.

Q

Describe the effect of sleep dreprivation on the retention of positive, negative and neutral stimuli. What effects could this have on well-being?

A

When sleep deprived (compared to rested) you retain fewer positive and neutral memories, but about the same amount of negative memories. Will likely add to negative affect.
