There are three patterns of wake brain waves, these patterns include: ________, ________, and _________ waves.
Beta waves, alpha waves, and gamma waves.
___________ brain waves occur when a person is actively thinking and alert. Very alert. Very rapid.
Beta waves.
________ Brain waves occur when a person is awake but relaxed. These waves are slower, larger, and more regular. An example of this wave would be laying half-awake in a hammock.
Alpha waves.
_______ brain waves occur when a person is processing sensory information. These waves are much faster than beta waves. An example of this wave would be visualizing a place like the beach. They make it easy to recall dreams.
Gamma waves.
How many stages are there of sleep?
Four stages.
This stage of sleep is a light sleep containing Theta waves. Another name for this stage of sleep is non-rapid eye movement stage. (N-REM)
Stage 1
This stage of sleep contains K complexes and spindle fibers and sporadic burst of electrical activity. You will have reduced heart rate and muscle tension and you will be able to respond to unexpected stimuli. And example of this is if you wake from hearing a loud noise.
Stage 2
This type of sleep is known as slobber sleep. It will contain delta waves and be a very deep sleep. Occurs 15 minutes after previous stage.
Stage 3
This type of sleep is a very deep sleep. When you wake up and don’t know where you are.
Stage 4
This type of sleep occurs 90-120 minutes after falling asleep. It is also known as paradoxical sleep and is known for the paralysis of major muscles. In this sleep the SNS is very active. This type of sleep dominates during second half of night sleep.

Do younger people or older people need more sleep?
Younger people.
True or false? It is proven that staying up all night helps the brain retain information.
False.
Hallucinations, fatigue, and a weakened immune system are often symptoms of what?
Sleep deprivation.
True or false? Staying awake for 17 hours straight is the equivalent of being drunk with regards to reaction time.
True
This occurs when you miss out on REM sleep, so your body tries to make up for it the next time you sleep and skips to REM stage.

Manifest content.

This is the most common type of sleep disorder and occurs when one cannot fall asleep. Leads to bad heart health, increased weight, and stroke risk. Uses CPAP machine.
Sleep apnea.
Type of sleep apnea where a person can’t fall asleep.
Onset
Type of sleep apnea where a person can fall asleep but has trouble staying asleep.
Maintenance
This sleep disorder occurs when a person experiences REM sleep during wakefulness.
Narcolepsy.
This sleep disorder consist of involuntary movement and tingling of limbs.
Restless leg syndrome or RLS
This sleep disorder occurs when a healthy infant dies during sleep. Most common between 0-6 months of age.
Sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS
This sleep disorder causes disorientation and confusion if awakened, there is no memory of terror.
