Rest and Sleep
Question | Answer |
---|---|
*inactive or mild activity *calm, at ease *relaxed *free of anxiety/worry *things we enjoy | Rest |
*state of decreased motor activity and perception *body functions slow *metabolism falls by 20-30% *body conserves energy *altered consciousness | sleep |
what can cause fatigue and irritability | lack of rest |
true or false rest without sleep is inadequate | true |
true or false rest restores the body | false |
true or false sleep restores the body | true |
leads to fatigue, irritability, and impaired cognition | lack of sleep |
the body's master clock - the biorhythm based on the day-night pattern in a 24-hour cycle | circadian rhythm |
what part of you body regulates your sleep pattern | hypothalamus |
what regulates: heart activity, body temps, hormone secretion, sleep-wake cycle(what makes us feel alert during the day and sleepy at night) | circadian rhythm |
biological clocks | biorhythms |
area of the brain that regulates body functions relating to timing | hypothalamus |
regulated by a cluster of cells in the hypothalamus of the brain stem that respond to changing levels of light | circadian rhythms |
activated by stimuli from the cerebral cortex "maintaining wakefulness" | reticular formation |
reticular and cortical neurons | reticular activating system |
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 |
consists of REM and NREM sleep that is repeated 4-6 times | normal sleep cycle |
*nocturnal wakefulness and agitation *nights and days | sundown syndrome |
loss of what stages of sleep may cause withdrawal and physical discomfort | Stage III and Stage IV |
Loss of what may lead to confusion and suspicion | REM sleep |
What age group requires 16-20 hours of sleep | newborns |
what age group requires 14-16 hours of sleep | infants |
what age group requires 12-14 hours of sleep | toddlers |
what age groups requires 11-13 hours of sleep | preschoolers |
what age group requires 10-11 hours of sleep | middle to late childhood |
what age group requires 8-9 hours of sleep | adolescents |
what age group requires 7-8 hours of sleep | young adults |
what age group requires 7 hours of sleep | middle aged adults |
what age group requires 5-7 hours of sleep | older adults |
2 types of sleep disorders | dyssomnias and parasomnias |
insomnia and excessive | dyssomnias |
patterns of waking behavior that appear during sleep | parasomnias |
most frequent sleep disorder | insomnia |
uncontrollable movement of the legs while resting or prior to sleep onset. common in older adults. low levels of iron | restless leg syndrome |
*result of prolonged sleep disturbances*result from NREM or REM deprivation, or both | sleep deprivation |
*periodic lack of breathing during sleep*absence of air flow through nose or mouth for at least 10 sec. at a time | sleep apnea |
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 |
*sleepwalking*sleep-talking*bruxism*night terrors*REM sleep behavior disorders*enuresis | parasomnisa |
bruxism | grinding of the teeth while asleep |
enuresis | wetting the bed while asleep |
*practicing relaxation techniques before bedtime*maintain a regular schedule for bedtime & awakening*avoid struggling to fall asleep in bed | ways to promote sleep |
*avoid being too hot or too cold*avoid large meals/spicy foods within 3 hours before bedtime*avoid alcohol, nicotine, & caffeine*medicate*milk | ways to promote sleep |
