Q

What is the mutliple sleep latency test?

A

objective measure of sleepiness

20 minute opportunities to nap every 2 hours for 5 sessions ina row
unit of measure is minutes from lights out to sleep onset

normal is >10 miuntes
pathologically sleepy is <8 minutes
REM sleep during more than one of these naps is normal

A

defined as unconsciousness from which person can be aroused by asensory or other stimuli

contrast to coma and anesthesia which are unconsciousnessfrom which person can be aroused

Q

What are the properties of rem sleep?

A

associated with active dreaming
typically awaken in morning during an episode of REM sleep
sometimes referred to as paradoxical sleep as EEG is similar to wakefulness

Q

What is sleep-wake cycle: effected by circadian factors and duratioon of wakefulness and sleep controlled?

A

homeostatic process: longer awake the greater propensity to sleep

Q

What are the circadian factors of sleep regulation?

A

internal biological clock

  • -sleepy at night
  • -awake during the day

approximate 24-hour period

composed of about 10,000 neurons in suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)
-hypothalamus

regulates endogenous biological rythms

  • including sleep-wake cycle
  • entrained or reset the day length by environmental photoperiod
  • resetting is mediated through photoreceptors in the retina which send signals to the SCN

16
Q

Wakefulness is promoted by what?

A

icnreased excitatory and decreased inhibitory neuromodulators and by then circadian homeostatic centers

17
Q

What causes NREM sleep?

A

brainstem excittatory and hhypothalamic circadian and homeostatic factors decrease

18
Q

Whaen does REM sleep occur?

A

when reduced NE and serotonin release inhibition of pontine PPT and LDT cholinergic neruons which activate the REM system

19
Q

What neurotransmitters promote REM sleep?

A

decreased acetylcholine and dfrom decreased NE and serotonin

20
Q

What neurotransmitters promote wakening?

A

hypothalamus leading to decreased GABA, increased histamine and increased activation of thalamus and cortex

as well as increased NE and serotonin leading to decreased acetylcholine

21
Q

What neurotransmitters lead to NREM sleep?

A

increased GABA
decreaased histamine
decreased activation of the thalamus and cortex

22
Q

What is NREM sleep signaled by in the neurons?

A

mean discharge rate of neurons decreased

cerebral glucose utilization decreased overall

23
Q

What is REM sleep singaled by in central nervous system activation?

A

mean discharge rate of neurons increased in many regions
-PGO spikes
-REMs
cerebral glucose utilization increased and resembles W
cerebral blood flow greatly increased

24
Q

What is the somatic acitvity of REM sleep?

A
  • paralysis
  • -postsynaptic inhibition of motoneurons
  • -hyperpolarization of motoneuron membranes
  • phasic
  • -rapid eye movements
  • -muscle twitches
25
Q

What is the breathing pattern of NREM sleep?

A

periodic breathing noted in stage 1 and 2 but regular breathing occurs in stage 3 and 4

26
Q

What is the breathing pattern in REM sleep?

A

electrooculogram – phasic rapid eye movments characteristic
REM sleep – irregularities in timing and amplitude of ventilatory movements rae noted
paradoxical respiration
–rib cage moves inward when abdoment moves outward

27
Q

What are the ventilation changes of sleep?

A 
significantly altered with state
decrease in vent during sleep is greater than a concurrent decrease in metabolic rate
PaCO2 increases
sleep induced hypoventilation
unique to humans among mammals
28
Q

What are the hemodynamic changes of sleep?

A

alteration in ANS
parasympathetic activity predominates during both NREM and REM sleep
HR and CO decrease
cerebral blood flow decreases in NREM but increases in REM sleep
during phasic REM, bp and hr are unstable due to phasic vagal inhibition and sympathetic activation
overall there is a slight decrease in total vasc resistance during sleep

29
Q

What are the endocrine changes of sleep?

A

growth horomone
-plasma conc peak 90 min after sleep onset
-higher in men than women
duration fo 1-3 hours related to SWS
-sleep deprivation suppresses GH secretion

30
Q

What is parathyroid endocrine changes during sleep?

A

increased levels during sleep compared to awaken state

peaks between 2 and 4 am

31
Q

What is the endocrine changes of adrenocorticotropic horomone?

A

cortisol decreases with sleep onset

cortisol levels lowest in early part of sleep, highest from 4 am to 8 am

32
Q

What is the thermoregulation of NREM and REM sleep?

A 
NREM
-lowered temp set point
--shivering threshold lower
--sweating at normal ambient temp
REM
-no regulation
--no shivering response
--no sweating at high ambient temperature
--body temperature drifts toward ambient temp
