2 types of sleep NREM- non-rapid eye movement REM-rapid eye movement
Stage _ * transition between wakefulness and sleep *light sleep; can be awakened easily *relaxed but aware of surroundings *groggy, heavy lidded *regular, deep breathing; eyelids open and close slowly Stage I
Stage _ *accounts for about 5% of total sleep *dreams usually not remembered *5-10 min Stage I
Stage _ *light sleep *easily aroused *10-15 min *temp, heart rate, blood pressure decrease slightly *accounts for about 50% of total sleep Stage II
Stage _ *deep sleep *difficult to rouse *parasympathetic nervous system predominates: temp, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure slow even more Stage III
Stage _ *skeletal muscles very relaxed *snoring may occur *accounts for about 8% of total sleep *5-15 min Stage III
Stage _ *the deepest sleep *difficult to awaken *body, mind, and muscles very relaxed *20-50 min Stage IV
Stage _ *paradoxical sleep *REM *less restful sleep than NREM sleep *eyes move rapidly *small muscles twitch *metabolism, temp, pulse, and BP increase *5-30 min Stage V
Stage _ *parasympathetic nervous system still predominates; heart rate and respirations are slow and regular; temp and BP are low *if roused, may be confused *accounts for about 11% of total sleep Stage IV
Stage _ *pulse may be rapid *apnea may occur *gastric secretions increase *large muscle activity and deep-tendon reflexes are depressed *dreaming occurs *if awakened, will react normally *accounts for about 25% of total sleep Stage V

oxygen levels in blood drops carbon dioxide level rises sleep apnea
results from back of the mouth relaxing during sleep,obstruction the airway, & vibrating with each breath snoring
uncontrollable episodes of sleep during the day person may sleep well during the night"sleep attacks"genetic defect of central nervous system in which REM sleep cannot be controlled narcolepsy
