Q

Atonia

A

Loss of muscle tone during “dream sleep” in order to avoid acting out our dreams and potentially hurting ur self or someone else

17
Q

Sleep cycle

A

Avg night of sleep= 5 or 6 episodes (cycles)

Cycle= 90 mins

18
Q

Age (factors of sleep patterns)

A

Duration of overall sleep cycle shortens with age

19
Q

Genetics (factors of sleep patterns)

A

Except for identical twins sleep patterns Tend to be relative to each individual

20
Q

Culture (factors of sleep patterns)

A

Sleep patterns are impacted by:
Urbanization
Agricultural
Technology

21
Q

Restorative (sleep theories)

A

Sleeping is essential to “restore” the physiological processes that keep the body and mind healthy
NREM: important for restoring non-cognitive functions
REM: essential in restoring mental functions
Periods of REM sleep can increase REM rebound : following periods of sleep deprivation and significant physical activity
Body also increases its rate of cell division and protein synthesis

21
Q

Comparative research

A

: animals that have few natural predators sleep more; vise versa

22
Q

Adaptive non-responding (sleep theories)

A

Sleep evolved as a means of conserving energy

Sleep evolved as a means of remaining inactive during time when wakefulness would be hazardous

23
Q

Information consolidation

A

Ppl sleep in order to process info that has been aquifer during the day
Research suggests that sleep helps establish long term memory

24
Q

Sleep deprivation

A

Lack of sufficient REM or NREM sleep

Monitored in hypothalamus (homeostasis)

25
Q

REM rebound

A

The mind’s attempt to increase the amount of REM sleep in order to compensate for sleep deprivation

26
Q

NREM rebound

A

The mind’s attempt to increase the amount of NREM sleep in order to compensate for sleep deprivation

27
Q

Insomnia

A

The inability to fall asleep or stay awake

Or fall asleep after awakening during the sleep cycle

28
Q

Narcolepsy

A 
To fall asleep: 
Suddenly 
Involuntarily 
With out warning 
At any time
29
Q

Sleep apnea

A

The stopping of breathing during the sleep cycle which:
Lowers blood oxygen levels
Disrupts the sleep cycle
Occurs throughout the sleep cycle

30
Q

Night terrors

A

NREM episode
Involves sudden “expression” of fright
Unrelated to a bad dream
Generally, no memory of episode

31
Q

Somnambulism

A

Sleepwalking

NREM episode
