Hot Topic Project: Sleep by Joan Solis https://padlet.com/jsolis432/mbvmqhpzg12ax68b Isaias Rios, Joan Solis, Mariela Mercado en-us 2021-10-23 16:41:20 UTC 2023-03-15 16:50:29 UTC hello@padlet.com What is sleep? jsolis432 https://padlet.com/jsolis432/mbvmqhpzg12ax68b/wish/1903354050   Sleep is the natural resting state in which our minds aren't thinking and our bodies are not active. 

  There are certain neurotransmitters, nerve-signaling chemicals, that are able to control whether or not we are asleep or awake. Serotonin and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters that are responsible for keeping the brain active while we are awake. 
  
   However, the chemical responsible for making us feel drowsy is known as adenosine. It does this by building up in our blood while we are awake, and starts to break down while we sleep.

Meaning, once we wake up; we feel more refreshed and alert. 

If we are not able to obtain enough sleep; then the brain cannot properly function. Which will disrupt abilities of concentration, thinking clearly and processing memories.

  • Stage 1NREM: This stages occurs between the transition of wakefulness and sleep; this is more commonly known as "light sleep".

  • Stage 2NREM: Known as a deeper sleep; your heart and breathing rate slows down and your muscles become more relaxed.

  • Stage 3NREM: This stage is essential to making you feel refreshed and alert when you wake up. Heartbeat, breathing and brain wave are at its lowest. 

  • REM: REM occurs within the first 90 minutes after you fall asleep. Your eyes will rapidly move back and forth under your eyelids. Blood pressure, breathing and heart rate will start to increase. Also, this stage is where dreaming would typically occur. 

These stages will repeat constantly throughout the night or up until you wake up; and the duration of each cycle is around 90-120 minutes.

 Difficulty falling asleep or remaining to fall asleep. People with insomnia express excessive daytime sleepiness and cognitive impairments when awake. 
  Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, also known as CBT-I, is the best treatment for this disorder. CBT-I helps eliminate and control negative thoughts and actions you go throughout the day. 

Sleep Apnea: 
  Sleep related breathing disorder. Blocked airway causes person to wake up choking for gasping for air. Same symptoms as people with insomnia. 
  People with sleep apnea most use a continuous positive airway pressure, CPAP, machine. This machine helps push a steady stream of air through a mask when you sleep.
 
Narcolepsy: 
  Excessive tiredness throughout the day despite adequate rest at night. 
  Some of the most helpful treatment for narcolepsy are stimulants ; since it can help stimulate the central nervous system and help keep the person awake during the day. Doctors often prescribe modafinil and armodafinil.

It causes us to feel drowsy throughout the day, change of appetite, reduced attention span, and constant mood changes. Also, sleep deprivation has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and mood disorders. 

  This video goes more in depth with what sleep deprivation is and the many causes of it. It takes in examples of studies conducted for sleep deprivation, and goes into what each participant went through.

When you're plagued by nights of tossing and turning and you don't have the "best mattress", your bedroom can quickly morph from comfy sleeping spot to a dreaded course of anxiety.

Don't try so hard:
Not trying to force sleep to happen is another way to reduce sleep-related anxiety and improve your chances of nodding off.

Try muscle relaxation:
Telling those sense muscles to chill out can help you relax and doze off faster, according to docs from the university of Maryland center's sleep disorder center.

Eat right and exercise:
Eating right is so important as exercise is too. Limit the consumption of certain foods before bed , since they can cause acid reflux or heartburn and mess with your body's sleep-wake cycle.

Think positive:
By staying positive about sleep-sort of using placebo sleep brain hack, if you will- you can actually up your odds for real, satisfying snooze time.
