  2. SLEEPhttp://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu/healthy/science/what/sleep-patterns-rem-nremSLEEPhttp://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu/healthy/science/what/sleep-patterns-rem-nrem • Our bodies require sleep to maintain proper function and health • We are programmed to sleep each night to restore our body and minds • We experience two types of sleep patterns: • Rapid Eye Movement (REM) • Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM)

  3. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) • Often called “active sleep” because of the high activity of eye movements • Experts believe that these eye movements are related to dreaming Interesting Fact: During REM, muscles in the arms and legs are temporarily paralyzed. This is believed to be a neurological barrier that keeps us from ‘acting out’ in your dreams.

  4. Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) Can be broken down in Three Stages: • N1 • N2 • N3 In the progression of stages from N1-N3, the brain waves become slower and eyes remain still. This sleep is also referred to as “deep sleep.”

  5. Daytime Napping • Generally follows a large mid-day meal • Last about 30-60 minutes • Any longer and there is a risk of falling into a deep sleep and have a difficult time waking • Many people report being able to stay awake and alert in the later afternoon or evening • Can cause people to go to bed later and sleep less at night • Napping can be a good way to catch up on sleep however, can make your sleeping patterns at night worse

  6. How Much Sleep Should You Be Getting? • Infants: 12-18 hours per night • (Birth – 11 months) • Toddlers and children: 10-14 hours per night • (1 – 10 years) • Adolescents: 8.5-9.5 hours per night • (10-17 years) • Adults: 7-9 hours per night (from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention)

  7. Support Systems for Health/Wellness There are a variety of different support systems for health and wellness. Some of these include: • Physicians • Nutritionists/Dieticians • Psychologists • Support groups (ex. Church • And many more… It is up to the individual to make the decision on whether or not to use these systems.

  8. Making Decisions When individuals make decisions regarding health and wellness, it is important to look at the short-termand long-term effects . SHORT-TERM EFFECTS: • How will I feel in an hour?
