Sleep story
• Eugene Aserinsky- 1952, studied son’s brain waves.
• Used EEG Measured Alpha waves, slow rhythm, high amplitude (height)
• 90 minutes- normal, then rapid eye movements, brain alert. But boy asleep.
• REM sleep- Rapid eye movements• Non-REM- Interim periods between

Compare and contrast
• NREM- Brief descriptions or none (sleep walking and talking happen here)
• REM- Vivid color, bizarre scenes

Realms of sleepStage 1. Feel self drifting on the edge of consciousness
Stage 2. Minor noises won’t disturb you
Stage 3. Breathing and pulse have slowed down
Stage 4. Deep sleep
REM. Increased eye movement, loss of muscle tone, dreaming

Stages of sleep
• Stage 1- slower activity, fast brain. Close to awake. May remember fantasies, visuals
• Stage 2- Short bursts of fast electrical activity= Sleep spindles. Most noises won’t disturb
• Stage 3- deep sleep. Heart rate breathing slow down. Brain waves slow dramatically. Delta waves (slow waves, high peaks)
• Stage 4- Electrical activity increasing, talk and walk in this stage (unknown)

Why we sleepThe exact function of sleep is uncertain but sleep appears to provide time for the body to carry out important functions.To eliminate waste products from musclesTo repair cellsTo strengthen the immune systemTo recover abilities lost during the day

Why we sleep
• Dream to forget- Mental trash• Repair cells, muscles, • strengthen immune system• Memory

Mental consequences of sleeplessness
• Chronic sleep deprivation causes release of cortisol (stress hormone) damage learning and memory
• 2/3 of Americans don’t get 8 hrs• American students- 6 hrs

Sleep disordersSleep deprivation leads to decreases in physical and mental functioning.Sleep apneaBreathing briefly stops during sleep, causing the person to choke and gasp and momentarily waken.
NarcolepsySudden and unpredictable daytime attacks of sleepiness or lapses into REM sleep
Staying up late and not allowing oneself enough sleep2/3 of Americans get fewer than recommended 8 hours

Other consequences
• Sleep apnea- disorder in which breathing stops during sleep causing the person to choke and gasp
• Causes: blocking of air passages, failure of brain to control respiration
• Narcolepsy- sudden and unpredictable daytime attacks of sleepiness or actual sleep
• Causes: degeneration of neurons in hypothalamus, most likely genetic

Insomnia
• The most common sleep disorder• Can’t get to sleep or stay up all night• Treated with reduction of caffeine, exercise at
appropriate times of day= not right before sleep
• Use sleeping pills with caution

Mental benefits
• Good sleep promotes benefits• Sleep =memory consolidation • Process by which synaptic charges associated
with memory become durable and stable• German study 3 groups- math problem• Group with best sleep= best results
