NON REM:
stage 1 = light sleep, twilight phase - possible hallucinations, muscles relax, experience twitches, experience sensation of falling
  • alpha waves = relaxed, awake state, eyes closed, similar to beta waves but only slightly slower

stage 2 = slightly deeper sleep than before, eye movement decreases, breathing and heartrate slow, body temp decreases a little
  • theta waves = waves slowing down with rapid/rhythmic bursts of brain wave activity called sleep spindles

stage 3 = deep sleep, no eye movement, no muscle activity, very difficult to wake from, occurs more in children/less for adults b/c related to growth (also night terrors most common in this stage)
  • delta waves = large and slow brain waves associated with deep sleep --> low brain activity
REM
REM sleep = rapid eye movement and HIGH brain activity (dreaming), irregular breathing, increased heart rate, paradoxical b/c brain activity but no muscle activity, not a deep sleep
  • brain waves very similar to awake state b/c of so much brain activity

4. feeds creative thinking: can sole problems while ya sleep!!?!?!
5. supports growth: definitely during deep sleep -- pituitay gland, help w/ muscle memory]]> 2016-10-25 01:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/8juliuss/appsych3/wish/132886183 sleep loss effects 8juliuss https://padlet.com/8juliuss/appsych3/wish/132886505 weakens immune system

depression
sleep loss cannot be paid off with one long night's rest
  • lack of rem sleep causes body/brain to want more REM sleep to play catch up --> REM rebound ... possible nightMARES

  • dreams have manifest and latent content
2. information processing: file away memories, usually about past events
3. physiological function: restock the brain, develop and preserve neural pathways
4. neural activation theory: make sense of neural static, random visual memories/emotions active in limbic system and use of brain's visuals and dreams
5. cognitive development: dreams reflect cognitive development in that they reflect cognitive ability according to age (usually) --> dreams are more complex w/ more experience you have
  • simulate reality
  • control of dream content works top-down

    alcohol = dis-inhibitor, disrupts memory, impairs judgement/coordination/speech, reduces self awareness
    • affects GABA and gludamine

    barbiturates = like tranquilizers, depress CNS activity, reduce anxiety, INDUCES SLEEP usually

    amphetamines

    caffeine

    nicotine = highly addictive, found in tobacco, difficult to quit and easy tolerance to build up

    cocaine = from coca plant, temporary increase in alertness and euphoria, a very high to a very low crash
    • blocks dopamine so it builds up (super high) and then dissipates and no longer existent (depressing crash) --> antagonist
    • different forms like crack cocaine

    methamphetamine = meth, stimulates CNS, speeds up body functions and associated energy and mood changes, long euphoria [8hrs] until huge crash
    • acts as dopamine (agonist)

    ecstasy = MDMA, club drug, synthetic stimulant, kinda hallucinogen, causes euphoria and social intimacy
