Q

How long is the human circadian cycle?

What do we see in awake EEG?

What is difference bwtn sleep latency and sleep efficiency?

A

Human Circadian Cycle = 25 hours

Awake EEG - beta and alpha waves

Sleep Latency = time it takes to fall asleep (less than 10 minutes)

Sleep Efficiency = time sleeping/time spent trying to sleep (100%)
