Video 3 Sleep Flashcards
Alert, active mental concentration in which sleep stage it is? And what waveform EEG shows?
Awake (eyes open) and Beta (highest frequency, lowest amplitude).
Meditating, what is the sleep stage of this person and what waveform shows the EEG?
Awake (sleep closed), Alpha wave
Which stage is characterized by light sleep and Theta wave in the EEG?
Non-REM sleep: Stage N1(5%).
Non-REM sleep: Stage N2 (45%)
Deeper sleep; When bruxism occurs, Sleep spindles and K complexes.
Which sleep stage is characterized by sleepwalking, nightmares, and nocturnal enuresis and also Delta waves?
Non-REM sleep: Stage N3 (25%). Benzodiazepines decrease stage N3.
What does REM mean?
Rapid Eyes Movement.
What are the characteristics of REM sleep (25%)?
Loss of motor tone, increased brain O2 use, and variable pulse and blood pressure; when dreaming and penile/clitoral tumescence occur, EEG shows Beta waves.
Which structure of the brain produces the movement of the eyes in REM sleep?
PPRF (Paramedial Pontine Reticular Formation)
Relaxation
Alpha waves
Stage N1
Theta waves
Stage N2
Bruxism and Sleep spindles and K complexes.
Stage N3
Delta waves, sleepwalking and nocturnal enuresis.
REM
Beta waves, lose muscle tone and dreams.
Which are the most common sleep disorders?
Insomnia, Restless leg syndrome, Night terrors, Obstructive sleep apnea, Central sleep apnea, Narcolepsy and Nocturnal enuresis.
What types of restless leg syndrome exists?
Primary and secondary.
