Lessson 3 characteristics and patterns of sleep 2015
This document discusses characteristics and patterns of sleep. It describes the stages of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep including stages 1-4, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. NREM sleep makes up about 80% of total sleep and involves brain wave changes from theta to delta waves as sleep deepens. REM sleep is associated with dreaming and active brain waves. Sleep cycles through NREM and REM stages about every 90 minutes. Theories on why we sleep include survival theories that it conserves energy and restorative theories that it repairs the body.
Sleep wake cycle
Sleep is an altered state where people become relatively unaware of external stimulation. There are two main theories for why we sleep - the evolutionary theory which suggests it protects animals by keeping them safe at night, and the recuperative theory which says it conserves energy and allows the body to restore tissues depleted during waking hours. The circadian rhythm, an internally generated sleep-wake cycle connected to the 24-hour period of the earth's rotation, influences when we sleep at night. The amount of sleep needed decreases with age, from 20 hours for infants to 6 hours for elderly adults. Missing sleep can negatively impact both the body and brain by weakening the immune system, causing mood issues and decreased cognitive performance.
Chapter7
The document provides an overview of states of consciousness and related topics. It discusses sleep and dreams, biological rhythms, measuring sleep stages, sleep disorders, theories of why we sleep and dream, hypnosis, drugs and consciousness, and psychoactive drug classifications.
Sleep
Consciousness refers to our awareness of ourselves and our environment, which varies depending on our attention. While conscious attention is focused on tasks, unconscious processes still occur. Daydreaming and fantasizing are common and may serve purposes like preparation, creativity, and stress relief. Biological rhythms like our circadian rhythm regulate sleep-wake cycles, with individuals varying as morning or evening types. Sleep occurs in stages including light, deep, and REM sleep, each with different brain wave patterns. Sleep serves functions like restoration and growth, and disorders can disrupt these functions.

Sleep and dream
Sleep is a state of sustained immobility, reduced responsiveness, and characteristic posture that allows the body to rest and repair itself. It is essential for humans and most animals. Lack of sufficient sleep can impair functions like alertness, learning, mood, energy levels, and coordination. Brain waves change during sleep cycles from beta/alpha when awake to theta/delta when asleep. Sleep consists of REM and non-REM sleep, with dreaming occurring in REM sleep. Establishing good sleep habits and avoiding stimulants before bed can help improve sleep quality and duration.

It also outlines the four stages of sleep, from light sleep to deep sleep and REM sleep. Finally, it discusses common sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea, and factors such as blue light, stress, and our sleep environment that can impact sleep cycles.
Lessson 3 characteristics and patterns of sleep
The document discusses the characteristics and patterns of sleep. It describes the stages of non-REM (NREM) sleep including stages 1-4, as well as REM sleep. NREM sleep makes up about 80% of total sleep and involves light to deep unconscious sleep, while REM sleep involves vivid dreaming. Sleep cycles through NREM and REM stages about every 90 minutes. Theories on why we sleep include survival theories that sleep conserves energy and restorative theories that sleep enhances functions like memory, growth, and repair of the body. However, both types of theories have limitations in fully explaining sleep.
Sleep AP Psych
The document discusses consciousness and the sleep cycle. It describes three levels of consciousness: conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. The sleep cycle involves passing through stages of non-REM sleep (stages 1-4) and REM sleep in a repeating 90 minute cycle throughout the night. Stage 3 and 4 non-REM sleep involves slow wave brain activity that is important for restoration. REM sleep involves dreaming and brain activity similar to being awake but the body is paralyzed. Biological rhythms like the circadian rhythm influence sleep patterns on a daily cycle.
Sleep and Jet lag
This document discusses sleep anatomy and jet lag. It describes how structures in the brain like the hypothalamus and brain stem control sleep and wake cycles. Jet lag occurs when these circadian rhythms are disrupted by traveling across time zones. The document also recounts the author's experience with jet lag upon moving from Vietnam to Europe, including feeling exhausted for several days as their body adjusted to the new time zone. Finally, it emphasizes that sleep plays an important role in physical and mental health.
Chapter 4 Sleep P Pt2
The document discusses sleep, dreaming, and circadian rhythms. It covers the stages of sleep including non-REM and REM sleep. The four stages of non-REM sleep progress from light to deep sleep. REM sleep is characterized by rapid eye movements and dreaming. A typical night's sleep involves cycling through the stages approximately every 90 minutes, spending less time in deep sleep and more in REM sleep later in the night. Theories on dreaming function include expressing unconscious desires, rehearsing threatening situations, consolidating memories, and resolving daily problems and concerns.
Lessson 3 characteristics and patterns of sleep 2015
Lesson 3 discusses the characteristics and patterns of sleep. It describes the stages of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep including stages 1-4, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. NREM sleep makes up about 80% of total sleep and includes dreaming-free sleep as well as sleep spindles and K complexes. REM sleep is associated with dreaming and totals about 90 minutes per night on average. Adults experience sleep cycles of about 1.5 hours that progress through deeper NREM sleep earlier in the night and more REM sleep periods later in the night. Theories on why we sleep include survival theories focusing on vulnerability to predators and energy conservation, as well as restorative theories emphasizing sleep
Sleep cycle
The document summarizes the stages of sleep and theories behind why humans sleep. It discusses the five stages of sleep: stage 1 and 2 of non-REM sleep, stage 3 and 4 of deep non-REM sleep, and REM sleep. The stages follow a 90 minute cycle and different stages restore different parts of the body and brain. Sleep enables the body and brain to repair itself after being awake and active. Lack of sleep causes negative effects like irritability and impaired concentration. Many factors can disrupt a normal sleep cycle, including sleep disorders, changing schedules, stress, medications, and psychological conditions.
Psych ch4-day1 notes
Circadian rhythms regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle over 24 hours, with alertness peaking around noon and 6pm and dipping around 3am. The hypothalamus influences glands like the pineal gland to secrete melatonin and induce sleepiness according to our internal biological clocks. There are two main theories for why we sleep: the adaptive theory proposes sleep evolved to avoid nocturnal predators, and the restorative theory suggests sleep is necessary to physically replenish our bodies and repair cellular damage during rest.
Anjali neuri.pptx
Indian philosophy posits three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. These states correspond to the gross, subtle, and causal bodies respectively. Several ancient Upanishads discuss states of consciousness including awake, dream-filled sleep, deep sleep, and beyond deep sleep. There are four types of brain waves - beta, alpha, theta, and delta - which occur during different stages of wakefulness and sleep. Sleep stages progress from light to deep sleep, consisting of NREM stages 1-3 and REM sleep. Neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and hormones like melatonin regulate the sleep-wake cycle which is controlled by the circadian rhythm in the hypothalamus. DNA repair occurs more during sleep, reducing

The document then discusses the stages of sleep and why sleep is important for physical and mental restoration. It notes that lack of sleep can impair memory, concentration, immune function and more. Finally, it provides tips on promoting good sleep habits and highlights that the Sabbath was created by God as a day of rest.
CONSIOUSNESS-SLEEP-DREAMS.ppt
The document discusses various aspects of consciousness, sleep, and dreams. It begins by defining consciousness and describing different levels of consciousness such as waking, subconscious, and unconscious states. It then discusses sleep stages and brain wave patterns associated with each stage. REM sleep is specifically called out as the stage where most vivid dreams occur. The document also covers sleep disorders, the effects of sleep deprivation, and theories about the purpose and meaning of dreams.
lecture 17: Sleep Dr. Reem AlSabah
The document discusses sleep and wakefulness from a neurological perspective. It describes how sleep is a brain process characterized by different stages, including non-REM sleep (NREM) and REM sleep. NREM and REM sleep can be measured using electroencephalography (EEG) brain wave patterns. Factors such as age, circadian rhythms, homeostasis, and the autonomic nervous system regulate sleep-wake cycles.
A brief study on sleep.
This document summarizes a study on sleep. It discusses what sleep is, the sleep cycle and its stages, anatomy related to sleep, circadian rhythm, common sleep disorders, tips to improve sleep, and benefits of good sleep. The sleep cycle typically lasts 90 minutes and consists of NREM and REM sleep. Stages of NREM sleep include stages 1-3, which differ in depth and brain wave activity. REM sleep involves paralysis and vivid dreams. Factors like hypothalamus and circadian rhythm regulate sleep cycles. Common disorders include insomnia, sleepwalking, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy. Tips provided to improve sleep and benefits discussed are reduced disease risk, better memory and learning.

Relationship between Human sleep & Melatonin. How Melatonin related to human sleep via circadian clock?
B1c1 the biological theory of dreaming
The activation-synthesis theory of dreaming proposes that:
1) During REM sleep, the brain generates random neural signals that are interpreted into dream narratives.
2) These random signals occur because sensory input is blocked and movements are inhibited during REM sleep.
3) The brain synthesizes the random neural activations into coherent stories that make up our dreams.
28 Sleep S Physiology.ppt
The document provides an overview of sleep physiology, including:
(1) It describes the differences between sleep and coma, and defines Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep.
(2) It explains that NREM and REM sleep alternate throughout the night in cycles lasting approximately 90 minutes, with NREM occupying around 75-80% of sleep time.
(3) The document discusses current theories about the neural basis of sleep, including the roles of serotonin, melatonin, and cholinergic neurons in regulating sleep-wake cycles and inducing different sleep stages.
sleep
Sleep is defined as unconsciousness from which the person can be aroused by sensory or other
stimuli.
distinguished from coma, which is unconsciousness from which the person cannot be
aroused. There are multiple stages of sleep, from very light sleep to very deep sleep; sleep
researchers also divide sleep into two entirely different types of sleep that have different qualities,
Sleep-wake cycle refers to our 24 hour daily sleep pattern which consists of
approximately 16 hours of daytime wakefulness and 8 hours of night-time sleep.
The complex process of the sleep-wake cycle is controlled by the body’s circadian rhythm and sleep homeostasis (the amount of accumulated sleep need that builds during time spent awake).
Final sleep power point
The document discusses sleep needs at different ages, sleep disorders, circadian rhythms, and the stages of sleep. Infants need 12-18 hours of sleep per night, children ages 5-10 need 10-11 hours, and teens and adults need 8-9 hours and 7-9 hours respectively. Sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, REM sleep behavior disorder, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy. Circadian rhythms regulate the sleep-wake cycle through exposure to light and darkness. Sleep cycles through NREM and REM stages with different brain wave patterns in each stage.
SLEEP1.ppt
The document discusses the neurology of sleep. It describes the two main types of sleep - NREM and REM sleep. NREM sleep involves synchronous cortical EEG, low muscle tone, and minimal dreaming. REM sleep is characterized by rapid eye movements, muscle atonia, and vivid dreaming. The document also discusses circadian rhythms and how the suprachiasmatic nucleus regulates sleep-wake cycles. Disruptions to circadian rhythms can lead to sleep disorders like jet lag.
Circadian Rhytm.pptx
Circadian rhythms are 24-hour biological cycles that influence various body functions like sleep-wake cycles, temperature regulation, and hormone secretion. They are controlled by the brain's central pacemaker and can be disrupted by conditions like shift work or jet lag. Common circadian rhythm disorders include delayed sleep phase syndrome, where one has difficulty falling asleep before late night, and advanced sleep phase syndrome, where people fall asleep early in the evening. Non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome causes people to maintain 25-27 hour cycles instead of 24 hours.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Why we sleep? Part1
- 1. Why we sleep? (Some facts about sleep...) Part 1
- 2. Every living creature has a 24 hours cycle known as Circadian Rhythm (circa, meaning around and dian means day). This rhythm connects our body cycle with natures 24 hours cycle. 1. / Anubhav Mishra
- 3. We have two stages of sleep i.e. NREM (Non-rapid eye movement) and REM (Rapid eye movement). The cerebral wars between the two happens, both win and lose every ninety minutes, ruled first by NREM sleep followed by REM. Most dreams take place under REM sleep. 2. / Anubhav Mishra
- 4. 3. / Anubhav Mishra During sleep brain Paralysis the body so that mind can dream safely, that is why whenever we try to do any action during sleep, we fail to do it.
- 5. 4. / Anubhav Mishra Whenever we memorise something, the information is stored temporarily in the hippocampus and with thorough practise it is stored in brain. Hippocampus acts as a temporary memory and helps us to store data. Right amount of sleep delightfully clears out hippocampus timely. You can say that a night of sleep strengthened the newly learned memories, boosting their retention.
- 6. 5. / Anubhav Mishra In men testosterone has a sharpening effect on the brain’s ability to focus. Men who sleep too little or having very poor-quality sleep have 29 percent lower sperm count than those taking a full and restful night sleep. Testosterone maintains bone density and plays a casual role in building muscles mass.
- 7. 6. / Anubhav Mishra Similarly, in women 20 percent drop in follicular releasing hormone is observed, a critical female reproductive element that peaks just prior to ovulation and necessary for conception and also have 33 percent higher rate of abnormal menstrual cycle.
