Appendix A: Disorders of Sleep and Wakefulness Flashcards
(65 cards)
(Type of circadian rhythm sleep disorder) unable to stay awake in the evening and
consistently awakens very early or also known as the “early birds or larks”;
Advance sleep phase sleep disorder
medical management of circadian which Use of bright light to manipulate the circadian system.
Luminotherapy
a complaint of poor sleep quality that does not leave the individual rested upon awakening despite adequate duration.
nonrestorative sleep
during the transition from sleep to wakefulness. (Hypersomnolence)
hypnopompic hallucinations
Repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction (common in obese)
obstructive sleep apnea
Deepest sleep state
NREM State N3 (Slow wave sleep)
when the child must have specific stimulation, objects, or setting for falling asleep, or returning to sleep
behavioral insomnia of childhood
Predisposing neurotransmitter factor for narcolepsy (same with circadian)
hypocretin
Sx last at least 1 month but less than
3 months.
Episodic
Is a condition of excessive sleepiness
characterized by either prolonged sleep periods at night or daytime sleep episodes occurring nearly every day. Sx. Drunkenness
Hypersomnolence disorder
In what criterion The Coexisting mental disorders and medical conditions do not adequately explain the predominant complaint
of insomnia.
Criterion H
sleep paralysis + hallucinations typically occur during sleep.
hypnagogic hallucinations
subtypes of circadian rhythm sleep disorders
Delayed sleep phase, jet lag, shift work, unspecified
when the individual thinks they are awake or are not sleeping even though brain wave activity is consistent with normal sleep
paradoximal insomnia
Deepest stage of sleep; differs
in delta waves
STAGE 3 & 4
In what criterion The insomnia is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g. a drug of abuse, a medication)
Criterion G
(parasomnias) repeated episodes of complex motor behavior initiated during sleep, including getting out of bed and waking around. most often in children age 4-8yrs
sleepwalking disorder
are more than 2x as likely as the
gen population to have a fatigue-related motor vehicle accident; those who sleep less than 5 hours per night may have a higher death rate.
insomniacs
Involves conditioned arousal associated with the thought of sleep. Includes excessive worry about sleep problems
psychophysiological insomnia
In what criterion The sleep difficulty occurs despite adequate opportunity to sleep.
Criterion E
Is characterized by sudden, uncontrolled
attacks of deep sleep lasting up to 20 mins.
* These “sleep attacks” come without warning and may be accompanied by paralysis and hallucinations.
Narcolepsy
In what stage occurs as a person falls asleep; easily awakened by sound, light, and other stimuli; accounts 5% for approximately 5% of an adult’s total sleep time and generally last around 10 to 15 mins.
Stage 1
(parasomnias) repeated occurence o frightening dreams that lead to waking from sleep
nightmare disorder
hypoventilation resulting in low arterial oxygen levels (common in obese)
central alveolar hypoventilation
