Consciousness• Awareness of yourself and the
environment.
• The experience of conscious behaviors can include thoughts, sensations, and memories

• Consciousness – current level of awareness
• Subconscious – information out of awareness, memories aren’t easily accessible
• Unconscious – information out of awareness, no actual memories may even exist, though behavior is still affected?

• Nonconscious – body processes that we are not aware of, but are active
• Preconscious – information out of awareness, but memories are easily accessible

Biological Rhythms - natural life cycles that help to guide our levels of awareness and our behaviors

• Annual Cycles – Seasonal changes affecting moods, appetite, sleep patterns
• Twenty-Eight Day Cycle – Female Menstrual Cycle
• Ninety-Minute Cycle – Sleep Cycle• Twenty-Four Hour Cycle – Daily cycle of levels
of alertness, hormones, body temperature, etc. also known as…

Circadian Rhythms
• A cycle or rhythm that is roughly 24 hours long. The cyclical daily fluctuations in biological and psychological processes.

The Sleep-Wake Cycle
–When decreased levels of light, the pineal gland releases melatonin, which causes sleepiness and reduced activity level
–When there are increased levels of light, melatonin levels decrease and conscious awareness level increase

SLEEP !!!!!
• On average, humans sleep 22 years of their lifetime.

Why do we sleep?
• Restorative Theory of Sleep
–Sleep promotes physiological processes that restore and rejuvenate the body and the mind
–NREM = bodily restoration and REM = mind restoration
![Page 15: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why do we sleep?
• Adaptive Theory of Sleep
–Unique sleep patterns of different animals evolved over time to promote survival and environmental adaptation. Sleep patterns evolved as a way of preventing a particular species from interacting with the environment when doing so is most hazardous.

Adaptive Theory of Sleep
• IE. The fiercest and strongest sleep the most, and at their convenience. The weakest and most vulnerable sleep in shorter bursts and for the least amount of time.

Sleep• There are 2 different types of sleep:
–REM Sleep: type of sleep during which rapid eye movements and dreaming occur and voluntary muscle activity is suppressed
–NREM Sleep: quiet, typically dreamless sleep in which rapid eye movements are absent
![Page 18: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Stages of Sleep – Pre-Sleep• Pre-Sleep:
– As you transition from wakefulness to sleep (drowsy stage), you may experience some type of hypnagogic hallucinations and/or myoclonic jerks• You may hear a loud crash, hear someone
call your name, feel a sensation of floating, smell something burning, see a variety of colors
• Involuntary muscle spasms
![Page 19: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
four NREM sleep stages• STAGE 1:
–Transitional stage from wakefulness to sleep
–First 5-10 minutes of sleep
–Gradually disengage from the sensations of the surrounding world
–Still able to regain consciousness easily at this point
–Some hypnagogic experiences continue here
![Page 20: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
four NREM sleep stages
•Stage 2:
–15-20 minutes
–Breathing becomes rhythmical
–Some small muscle twitches
–Brain activity begins to slow down
–Sleep Spindles - Quick bursts of brain activity that last for a second or two
![Page 21: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
four NREM sleep stages•Stages 3
–Transitional stage from 2 to 4
![Page 22: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
four NREM sleep stages•Stages 4:
–Heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing drop to their lowest levels
![Page 23: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
four NREM sleep stages•… by Stage 4:
–Slow delta waves• the sleeper is nearly
oblivious to the outside world, and may take 15 minutes or more to regain consciousness from this level
![Page 24: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
four NREM sleep stages
•Stage 4:– It is possible to carry
conversations, answer the phone, walk in this stage and never remember it
–Most sleeping disorders occur during this time
![Page 25: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Stages of Sleep – back again
• By the time a sleeper has reached Stage 4, they have been asleep for about 60 minutes total.
• After Stage 4 has been reached, the sleeper cycles back from Stage 3 to Stage 2 in a matter of minutes and enters REM Sleep.

Stages of Sleep
•REM Sleep:
–The brain becomes more active and generates small, fast brain waves
–Visual and motor neurons fire during this stage, but voluntary muscle movements are suppressed (paralysis)
![Page 28: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• REM (Rapid Eye Movement)
–recurring sleep stage
–vivid dreams
–“paradoxical sleep”
•muscles are generally relaxed, but other body systems are active
![Page 29: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
REM Sleep is often referred to as Paradoxical Sleep because…
–Heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration increase, muscles twitches, heightened sexual arousal
–The first REM stage lasts about 15 minutes – the first sleep cycle lasts about 90 minutes total
![Page 30: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• REM Rebound Sleep–The less time we spend in REM sleep one night, the longer amount of time we will spend in REM sleep the next night
![Page 31: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Beyond the first 90 minutes• Sleepers cycle between NREM
and REM sleep throughout the night
• Each cycle lasts about 90 minutes

Just before and after REM sleep, you typically change body positions
![Page 35: States of Consciousness. What do you think? Write your definition of consciousness. Get with a partner and share](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ceb5503460f949b72cd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
As the night progresses, Stages 3 and 4 get shorter and REM sleep increases, up to 40 minutes at a time

• Though narcoleptics can fall asleep at any time, arousals usually trigger sleep – laughter, anger, surprise, sex
• Narcoleptics instantly lose muscular control, and enter REM sleep. The dreams are often terrifying.

Sleep and Dreams – When is a cigar just a cigar?
• The manifest content of a dream is the literal storyline and events that occurred
• The latent content of a dream is the interpretation of the unconscious drives, wishes, and desires that created the dream (the symbolism)
