This stage number appears in both REM and NREM sleep. Stage 1. Most healthful stage; 50% of adult sleep is here. Stage 2. Dreams occur in this stage. Stage 1 REM. Closest stage to consciousness. Stage 1 NREM. Least EEG activity appears here. Stage 4. Stage 2 NREM. Sleep state.

This stage number appears in both REM and NREM sleep • Stage 1
Dreams occur in this stage • Stage 1 REM
Closest stage to consciousness • Stage 1 NREM
Least EEG activity appears here • Stage 4
Stage 2 NREM • Sleep state
Stage 1 REM • Dream State
Stage 1 NREM • Hypnopompic State
Stage 3 NREM • Hypnagogic state
Stage 4 NREM • Hypnagogic state
Slowest brain waves • Delta
Bursts of electrical energy seen in stage 2 • Sleep spindles
Seen during alert wakefulness • Beta waves
Seen in relaxed wakefulness, early stage 1 NREM • Alpha waves
Follow alpha waves in stage 1 and 2 NREM • Theta waves
Leading cause of death in infants • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
Not able to fall or stay asleep • Insomnia
Two hypersomnias • Narcolepsy and apnea
Bedwetting • Enuresis
Night terrors and sleepwalking are 2 types of this • Parasomnias
Measures electrical activity in the brain • Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Measures eye movement • Electro-oculograph EOG
Measures electrical impulses through muscle • Electromyogram EMG
Measures heart rate • Electrocardiograph (EKG)
Amplifies signals and produces record of physiological changes • Polysomnograph
Difference between hours of sleep needed and gotten. • Sleep debt
Short episodes of sleep that intrude on wakefulness • microsleeps
REM-deprived people exhibit this when allowed to sleep naturally • REM Rebound
East-west travel is an example of this, which is easier to adapt to • Phase delay
Older adults spend little time in this state of sleep, thus awakening often • Hypnagogic
Internal biological changes that occur daily • Circadian rhythms
Hormone involved in inducing sleep • Melatonin
Neurons in hypothalamus that control sleep-wake cycle • Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
Gland that secretes melatonin • Pineal
Length of free running sleep-wake cycle • 25 hours
Temperature fluctuations without sleep counter this theory • Cool off brain
We sleep at night due to this theory • Self-protection (out of harm’s way)
Common sense theory • Rest/ energy conservation
REM sleep is important for this • Neural development
Francis Crick believes sleep allows us to do this • Unlearn or purge stimulus overload
Sleep disorder where you awake in panic without nightmare • Night Terror
Adults are most likely to wake in this stage • Stage 2 NREM
You are most difficult to awaken in this stage and state • Stage 3 / 4 Hypnagogic
Narcolepsy Sleep attacks while awake
