Term
NREM Sleep stage 1 is characterized by
Definition
transitional phase-low threshold for waking
3-7 Hz on EEG
occurs max of 7 mins.
Big sign of sleep deprivation: Stage 1 INCREASE
2-5%
Term
NREM Sleep stage 2 is characterized by
Definition
45-55% sleep
EEG shows SPINDLES (12-14hz)
K complexes (slow neg deflect, then positive
Term
NREM Sleep stage 3 is characterized by
Definition
Slow Wave Sleep
3-8% sleep
EEG slow DELTA waves
Term
NREM Sleep stage 4 is characterized by
Definition
Resp. rate decreases
brain temp decreases
cerebral blood flow decrease
blood vessels DILATE
10-15%
Term
REM sleep has two stages...
Definition
Phasic- Irregular breathing, variable HR
Tonic- near paralysis, vasoconstriction, increase blood flow EXCEPT Frontal lobe
Term
REM increase or decrease in duration throughout night
Definition
Increase
20-25% 4-6 discrete episodes
Term
Common features of both REM's
Definition
muscle atonia
rapid eye movement
no thermoregulation
Where erections happen! pychogenic or organic
Term
Circadian Rhythm
Definition
they control BRACs
need "zeitgeibers" to maintain rhythm (alarm clocks, etc)
Term
Basic Rest Activity Cycle
Definition
repeats continuously day and night
occurs in 90 min. cycles (Highs and Lo's)
Term
Strongest and most consistent factor affecting pattern of sleep
Definition
age
Term
Newborns
Definition
spend half of time in REM sleep
50-60 min cycles
EEG activation- 2 to 6 months (NREM patterns)
Term
dreaming occurs during
Definition
REM
Term
This can disappear in the second NREM/REM cycle
Definition
Stages 3 and 4
Term
Slow wave does what with age?
Definition
decrease
Term
When you recover, which pattern is first
Definition
slow wave sleep (NREM) followed by REM
Term
These areas facilitate sleep
Definition
basal forebrain
solitary tract
dorsal raphe nucleus
Term
This provides the clock for circadian
Definition
suprachiasmatic nucleus
Term
What are the core nuclei of the RAS
Definition
LC- noradrenergic
PPN/Basal-cholinergic
Raphe- serotonin
Term
What is relationship b/t LC, PPN, and RN?
Definition
PPN excites LC
LC inhibits PPN
Both are inhibited by RN
Term
Relationship b/t Schizo/RAS
Definition
upregulation of RAS
