SLEEP Two Types of Sleep: • REM (active) – rapid eye movement • Dreams are vivid • Breathing & Heart Rate are accelerated • Involuntary Muscles Jerks • 20% of sleep is REM • NREM (inactive) – non-rapid eye movement • Dreamless sleep • Breathing & Heart Rate are slow • 80% of sleep is NREM (6.5 hours of an 8 hour night)

  6. Circadian Rhythms • Nerves are reset daily by light • Human brains are geared to be awake in the day and asleep at night • People who work at night can get “shift work sleep disorder” http://www.als-ny.org/index.php?page=als_about

  7. Problems • Circadian rhythms clash with society’s demands • People used to think teens didn’t need as much sleep, but now research has shown otherwise • Homework and other activities keep teens up late

  8. Teens • Timing of circadian rhythms changes as puberty hits • Puberty resets the biological clocks & teens want to sleep later • Research shows teens need an average of 9 hours and 20 minutes of sleep http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/innovation/tdc-publication-tp13959e-13959e-120.htm
