what 4 stages are involved in NREM | lasts 90 min Stage 1-2: lighter sleep, aroused Stage 3-4: slow wave sleep |
When is REM sleep | at end of ea 90 min. sleep, incr brain activity, no stages |
What begins a sleep cycle | presleep- 10-30 min |
how many cycles of sleep do normal people pass through | 4-6 sleep cycles 4 stages of NREM and a period of REM Ea cycle lasts about 90-110 min. |

REM sleep cycle | vivid, full color dreaming, begins 90 min after sleep, lasts 20 min. rapid eye mvmt, loss of skeletal muscle tone, gastric secretions decr, not aroused |
pysiologically, what happens to the body during sleep and which stage is this happening | stage 4- body releases human growth hormone, brain cells, protein synthesis, cell division, immunity REM good for brain tissue/cognitive restoration, loss leads to confusion/disorientation |
How are dreams helpful | good for learning, memory processing, adapt to stress, help sort immediate concerns or erase memories |

what is narcolepsy | CNS dysfx that regulate sleep/wake states drug of choice: Pervigil |
