  44. BECAUSE MS. DUCO LOVES YOU Definition Slides

  45. Consciousness = an awareness of ourselves and our environment.

  46. Circadian Rhythm = the biological clock; regular bodily rhythms (for example, of temperature and wakefulness) that occur on a 24-hour cycle.

  47. REM Sleep = rapid eye movement sleep; a recurring sleep state during which vivid dreams commonly occur. Also known as paradoxical sleep, because the muscles are relaxed (except for minor twitches) but other body systems are active.

  48. Alpha Waves = the relatively slow brain waves of a relaxed, awake state.

  49. Sleep = periodic, natural loss of consciousness – as distinct from unconsciousness resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or hibernation.

  50. Hallucinations = false sensory experiences, such as seeing something in the absence of an external visual stimulus.
