What is Sleep?
What is its purpose?
Creation of Eve - Michaelangelo.org
So what is Sleep?
1. Behavioral criteria consist of
• Immobility or slight mobility,
• Closed eyes,
• Characteristic species-specific sleeping posture,
• Decreased response to external stimulation,
• Quiescence,
• Increased reaction time,
• Elevated arousal threshold, and
• Reduced cognitive function
• Reversible unconscious state.
2. Physiological criteria are based on
• EEG,
• electrooculography (EOG), and
• electromyography (EMG) findings,
• as well as unique physiological changes such as unique
ventilation and circulation.

Stages of Sleep
• Non-REM (N) – 75% – 85%
– Stage 1 (N1) – 0% - 5% of Total Sleep
– Stage 2 (N2) - 45% – 65%
– Stage 3 (N3) – 0% – 20%
• Stage REM (R) – 15% - 25%
• Time to Fall Asleep – 5 – 10 minutes
Optimal Sleep Quantity
• General Health
• Cardiovascular Health
• Metabolic Health
• Mental Health
• Immunologic Health
• Human Performance
• Cancer
• Pain
• Mortality
Optimal Sleep Quality
• Wake after Sleep – less than 30 minutes
• Disturbances (arousals without
awakening) during sleep – less than 5 per
hour
What is Sleep’s purpose?
Physiologic effects of Sleep Deprivation
• Associated with systemic inflammation
• Increased levels of key inflammatory mediators
– Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNFα),
– C-reactive protein CRP)
– Chemokines
• Intermittent and chronic hypoxia & sympathetic discharge
– Associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance
• sleep disruption very debilitating
– Daytime sleepiness
– Cognitive impairment
– Depression
– Relationship difficulties
– Dementia
– Appetite changes/obesity
– Reduced immunity
Sleep Deprivation
Inflammation, Infection, Malignancy
• Reduction in natural killer cells and their activity,
• Decrease in lymphocytes and granulocytes in response
to antigens.
• Antibody production reduced
• Sleep , 4 hours - 50% reduction was found 10 days
after immunization with influenza
• C-reactive protein (CRP) is increased in both
– Sleep-deprived normal humans and
– Obstructive sleep apnea patients - Elevation is associated
risk for CV disease.
• Increased risk of mortality with sleep deprivation (<6.5
hours)
Sleep Deprivation
Endocrine & Metabolic
• Disruption of hormone secretion / balance
– Reproductive issues
– Menstrual irregularities
– Impotence
• Changes in metabolism
– Appetite control
– Weight changes
– Leptin / Ghrelin changes

Other Sleep Function
• Memory & Learning
– REM sleep helps facilitate consolidation of perceptual and
emotional memories.
– Sleep has been shown to enhance prior learning of various
skills and emotions.
• Consolidation of different skills requires involvement of
different portions of sleep
– Late-night REM and early-night slow wave sleep correlated
with improvements in visual texture discrimination
– Paired word associate learning enhanced by early night sleep
– Recall of a paired associate list), and emotional declarative
memory improved by late-night sleep
Proposed Biological Functions of Sleep
1. Body and brain tissue restoration
2. Facilitation of waste clearance of the central
nervous system via the glymphatic system
3. Energy conservation
4. Adaptation
5. Memory reinforcement and consolidation
6. Synaptic neuronal network integrity
7. Gene expression in sleep/wakefulness
8. Thermoregulation

“Notes on Nursing”
“Of one thing you may be certain, that anything
which wakes a patient suddenly out of his sleep
will invariably put him into a state of greater
excitement, do him more serious, aye, and
lasting mischief, than any continuous noise,
however loud.
Never to allow a patient to be waked,
intentionally or accidentally, is a sine qua non of
all good nursing.”
Thank you!

Never to allow a patient to be waked, intentionally or accidentally, is a sine qua non of all good nursing.”

Editor's Notes

  1. The Pearl
  2. These questions have perplexed us since the beginning of creation. Adam was put into a deep sleep in order to achieve a greater good..Eve. Some may argue however, that the Lord introduced not only the Field of Sleep, but also its Disorders.
  3. It is well recognized that there are 3 Pillars of Health. Sleep, Eating, and Exercise In many respects, Sleep is the Pillar of the Pillars of Health.
  4. ”It is a privilege, to watch someone sleep. It is a privilege to be able to witness someone both here and not here. To be included in someone’s absence, it is an honour, and it asks quiet. It asks respect.”
  5. Two conceptualizations of sleep duration.Adapted with permission from Marshall et al. Sleep Med Rev 2008;12:289–298. The green line represents an optimal dose of sleep where the odds of incident disease are lowest. The orange line represents a sleep saturation model, where longer sleep is not necessarily associated with poor health, and may be beneficial in some circumstances (e.g., recovery from sleep deprivation or illness).
  6. You don’t know what you have until it is gone!
  7. The meaning of sleep stages and the many changes that occur in the brain during sleep have not ceased to puzzle researchers. No integrative explanation of brain changes during sleep has been uniformly accepted yet by the scientific community, but more and more pieces of information are emerging from the numerous studies in the field. Sleep has been shown to enhance prior learning of various skills and emotions. It has been found that consolidation of different skills requires involvement of different portions of sleep. Gais and co-workers (Neurosci 3[12]:1335–1359, 2000) have shown that in laboratory rats, late-night REM and early-night slow wave sleep correlated with improvements in visual texture discrimination (Stickgold, J Cogn Neurosci 12[2]:246, 2000. Humans were trained to recognize differences in orientation of certain arrays) and that this improvement was superior when compared with the same amount of time spent in the awake state. Other studies showed improvement in motor skills in correlation with late-night NREM sleep. 11 (Walker, Neuron 35:205–211, 2002. Humans trained to perform finger tapping patterns), paired word associate learning enhanced by early night sleep (Philal, Psychoneuroendocrinology 24:313–331, 1999. Recall of a paired associate list), and emotional declarative memory improved by late-night sleep (Wagner, Learn Mem 8:112–119, 2001. Memory retention of emotional versus neutral text material).
  8. Schematic representation of the brain's fluid compartments and barriersThe fluid compartments in the brain consist of intracellular fluid (ICF) (60-68%), interstitial fluid (ISF) (or extracellular fluid) (12-20%), blood (10%) and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (10%) [5, 10]. The blood is separated from the CSF and interstitial fluid by the blood brain barrier (BBB) and blood-CSF barrier, respectively. Tight junctions between the blood endothelial cells constitute the BBB, restricting macromolecules to move freely from the blood to the brain parenchyma. Fluid and solutes in the perivascular space located between endothelial cells and astrocytic endfeet, expressing the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) diffuses into the brain parenchyma. The blood-CSF barrier is formed by tight junctions between the choroid plexus epithelial cells. Macromolecules from the blood can move freely between the fenestrated endothelial cells to the interstitial fluid but is restricted by tight junctions in the choroid plexus epithelial cells, which therefore are believed to be the main players in determining CSF composition.
