Q

Sleep: Stage 1

A

Transition between sleep and wakefulness
Theta activity
Lasts about ten minutes
Theta waves

16
Q

Sleep: Stage 2

A

Theta activity
Sleep spindles
K Complexes: large waves (1 per min)
Lasts about 15 minutes

17
Q

Sleep: Stage 3 and 4

A 
Delta activity (large amplitude, low frequency) 
Stage 3: 20%-50% delta
Stage 4: >50% delta
Hard to wake people, groggy
Thoughts, images; some dreaming

Stages 1-4 last about 90 minutes

18
Q

B
A
T
D

A

B- beta, being awake and alert
A- alpha, relaxed eyes closed
T- stage 1, stage 2, (+ K complexes, spindles)
D- delta, stages 3&4
B A T D
Short for bad, K and D stand for dark knight, but the K is next to the bat

19
Q

Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep

A

EEG resembles alertness (dream sleep)
Muscle paralysis
Genital activity

20
Q

Sleep Patterns: first half of the night

A

More slow wave sleep

21
Q

Sleep Patterns: second half of night

A

More REM sleep

22
Q

REM Rebound

A

You spend more time in REM sleep after a period if deprivation

23
Q

Freud Wish Fulfilment

A

Manifest content vs latent content (latent is dream meaning/message)

24
Q

Activation-Synthesis Hypothesis

A

Beta waves show your brain is really active in this stage

Synthesis: your brain is trying to make sense of this randomness and create a story

25
Q

Memory Hypothesis

A

Consolidation (more complex tasks)

26
Q

Functions of Slow-Wave sleep (deep sleep)

A 
Repair body (protein synthesis)
Recovery from intense mental activity
Memory consolidation (simpler tasks)
27
Q

Sleeping Disorder: Bruxism

A

Clenching or grinding of teeth during sleep

28
Q

Sleeping Disorders: Sleep Apnea

A

Cessation of breathing during sleep
CO2 levels in bloodstream increase
Medulla detects the rise of CO2 and wakes you up
Cause: there’s a construction in the airway preventing breathing
Treatment: diet, exercise, special pillows or pjs, pressured air, surgery

32
Q

REM without Atonia

A

Lack if paralysis in REM sleep

Act out dream

33
