Lesson 5 sleep:wake cyle across the lifespancoburgpsych
Sleep patterns change across the lifespan. During adolescence, the sleep-wake cycle shifts biologically to require about 2 hours more sleep per night, but school schedules do not accommodate this. As a result, teens build up a sleep debt by consistently getting less sleep than their bodies need. They try to catch up on weekends by sleeping in, but then go to bed later, compounding the problem. This chronic sleep deprivation negatively impacts cognitive function in adolescents.

Neuroscience of Female Orgasm-fMRI findingsumitsayin
During sexual arousal and orgasm, fMRI studies have found activation in several brain regions involved in pleasure and reward. During arousal, areas like the amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and insula are activated. During orgasm, regions showing increased activity include the cerebellum, anterior cingulate, nucleus accumbens, hypothalamus, and frontal cortex. Stimulation of multiple erogenous zones leads to activation of a larger region of the sensory cortex, potentially producing stronger, more complex orgasms. Thinking about or imagining sexual stimulation can also activate these same brain regions.

This document discusses sleep, drowsy driving, and sleep disorders. It begins by explaining the sleep cycle and stages of sleep. It recommends getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night for adults and lists consequences of lack of sleep like increased health risks. Tips are provided for better sleep like establishing a routine and sleep-friendly environment. Common sleep disorders like sleep apnea are described. The definition of drowsy is given as being ready to fall asleep. Drowsy driving is explained as being very dangerous due to increased risk of accidents. Factors that could contribute to drowsy driving are listed.
Three key points about human motivation and emotion are discussed:
1. Motivation refers to biological, emotional, cognitive, or social forces that initiate and direct behavior. Emotion involves subjective experience, physiological response, and behavioral expression.
2. Early theories proposed that behaviors are innate or motivated by drives to reduce internal tension, but more recent theories emphasize cognitive and social factors like expectations of goals and psychological needs.
3. Maslow's hierarchy proposes that basic physiological and safety needs must be fulfilled before higher needs like love, esteem, and self-actualization can motivate behavior, though the concept of self-actualization is difficult to define and achieve.

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.

10 Easy Ways to Unleash Your Kid's Brain PowerSage HR
Do you know that a baby is born with all the brain cells he needs when he becomes an adult?
Do you know that a baby creates 700 neural connections every second in the first 1,000 days of his life?
A study conducted by Dr. Jim Heckman, a Nobel Laureate in Economics, show that early stimulation of brain function during childhood plays a critical role in a child's social and economic success. Furthermore, the neural pathways and networks that are forged during the first 1,000 days will have lasting impacts on the person's social, emotional and mental capabilities --- very important factors which dictate the kind of lifestyle, job and social interactions he will have in the future.
For parents who want nothing but the best for their children, Dr. Heckman's research show that preschool experiences and early interactions with peers and adults provide the highest return in capital investment. The benefits of which decreases dramatically after school due to aging and several other reasons.
From an economic standpoint, these words ring true. Early childhood stimulation of brain function develops fluid abilities such as memory, reasoning, speed of thought and problem solving prowess. All of which are interrelated and foreshadows high-level brain function which is key to a happy, successful life.
In this Slideshare story deck, CakeHR is proud to present 10 easy, practical ways to develop your kid's brain power.

This document discusses circadian rhythms and how they affect the human body. It covers several key points:
1. Circadian rhythms are natural 24-hour cycles that regulate physiological and behavioral changes in the body, including the sleep-wake cycle which is entrained to light and darkness.
2. Hormones like melatonin, serotonin, growth hormone, cortisol, insulin, leptin and ghrelin are involved in circadian rhythms and play roles in sleep, metabolism, stress response and appetite regulation.
3. Disrupting circadian rhythms through things like poor sleep, light exposure at night, or irregular eating and activity patterns can impact health by interfering with the normal fluctuations of
This document provides an overview of the health risks of sleep deprivation. It discusses how lack of sleep affects both physical and mental health. Specifically, it outlines how sleep deprivation can increase risks of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and more by impacting hormones and metabolism. It also discusses how even short-term sleep loss can seriously impair cognitive performance and mood. The document aims to raise awareness of the importance of quality sleep for overall health and safety.
Sleep is an essential activity that is important for physical and mental health. Not getting enough sleep can accumulate into a "sleep debt" that has negative health consequences. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule and getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night can help avoid sleep debt and its effects, which include impaired focus, mood issues, and increased disease risk. Paying back sleep debt requires getting more sleep than usual, such as going to bed earlier, rather than sleeping longer all at once.
Sleep progresses through distinct stages in a cycle. Non-REM sleep begins with light sleep in stages 1 and 2, characterized by theta waves and sleep spindles. Stages 3 and 4 involve deep sleep with synchronized brain activity appearing as delta waves. REM sleep involves dreaming and similar brain activity to wakefulness. The circadian rhythm and homeostatic processes regulate sleep cycles, with the circadian rhythm promoting wakefulness opposed by the increasing homeostatic drive for sleep with time spent awake.
This document discusses chronobiology and fatigue disorders. It begins by defining chronobiology as the study of biological rhythms in living organisms. It then discusses circadian rhythms and how they regulate important biological processes like cortisol and melatonin secretion. The document focuses on fatigue disorders like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, explaining their symptoms like severe fatigue. It analyzes research showing disturbances in circadian rhythms of hormones and cytokines in these patients, which may contribute to symptoms like unrefreshing sleep. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of circadian rhythms for health and treatments tailored to patients' diurnal variations in symptoms.
The document discusses how sleep is important for weight control and overall health. It provides evidence that lack of sleep can increase hunger and affect metabolism by lowering leptin and raising ghrelin, hormones that regulate appetite. Studies have shown people who sleep less weigh more and those who are sleep deprived desire high calorie foods more. Getting enough quality sleep is important for maintaining a healthy weight as it regulates appetite hormones and growth hormone, which helps determine the body's fat to muscle ratio.
The document summarizes the female hormonal cycle. It describes the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis that regulates the cycle, including the roles of GnRH, FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone. The menstrual cycle involves changes in the ovaries, uterus, cervix, and vagina under hormonal control. The proliferative and secretory phases are defined by estrogen and progesterone levels. Placental hormones like hCG, hCS, and hormones involved in pregnancy are also discussed. In conclusion, the cyclical changes allow for reproduction and preparation of the uterus for potential pregnancy.
The document summarizes the female hormonal cycle. It describes the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis that regulates the cycle, including the roles of GnRH, FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone. The cycle involves changes in the ovaries, uterus, cervix, and vagina across three phases: proliferative, secretory, and menstrual. Placental hormones like hCG, hCS, estrogen and progesterone are also discussed, which help maintain pregnancy and support fetal development. The male hormonal cycle is briefly covered, noting higher testosterone levels impacting mood and behavior across morning, afternoon and evening.
This document discusses chronobiology and fatigue disorders. It notes that chronobiology examines periodic biological rhythms related to light and lunar cycles. The most important rhythm is the circadian rhythm, which is a roughly 24-hour cycle regulated by circadian clocks in the hypothalamus. Fatigue disorders like chronic fatigue syndrome are debilitating and cause severe fatigue, pain, and other symptoms. The document suggests circadian rhythm disturbances may contribute to fatigue disorders, as seen in lower melatonin and cortisol levels in patients, which can impair sleep quality and increase pain/stiffness. Understanding circadian rhythms could help optimize treatment timing for fatigue disorder patients.

This document discusses the relationship between sleep and the endocrine system. Some key points include:
- Certain endocrine conditions like acromegaly are associated with increased risk of sleep apnea. Hypothyroidism and excessive androgens can also worsen sleep apnea.
- Growth hormone and prolactin levels are elevated early in sleep during non-REM sleep. Cortisol and testosterone levels rise later in sleep.
- Disruptions to normal sleep patterns can influence hormone levels like thyroid stimulating hormone and cortisol. Overall, sleep abnormalities are associated with endocrine changes.
The document discusses hormones and the endocrine system. It explains that hormones are chemical messengers secreted by endocrine glands that affect cells in other parts of the body. The document provides examples of hormones like estrogen, testosterone, insulin, and others. It also discusses hormonal imbalances and disorders that can result like goiter, diabetes, or growth issues. The learning objectives are to explain the effects of hormones not being properly regulated and the role of hormones in the male and female reproductive systems.
This document discusses the importance of sleep for health. It describes the five stages of sleep, including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. Insufficient sleep can increase risks for various diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease due to changes in hormones like ghrelin and leptin. Getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night is recommended to maintain good health and reduce risks.
Metabolic and Endocrine Consequences of Abnormal Human Sleep.pdfAhmed Elshebiny
The document discusses the metabolic and endocrine consequences of abnormal human sleep. It notes that sleep and hormones are interrelated, with short sleep durations being associated with conditions like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Certain hormones like growth hormone, prolactin, and melatonin promote sleep, while cortisol and androgen increase awareness and reduce sleep. The document recommends screening patients for sleep disorders, insufficient sleep, or obstructive sleep apnea, as fatigue may result from endocrine or sleep issues.
This document summarizes research on the effects of various nutritional supplements on sleep. It finds that melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, has been shown to improve sleep onset, efficiency and duration when taken as a supplement. The B vitamins, especially B12 and thiamine, have also been linked to improved sleep and normal circadian rhythms, as deficiencies have been found in those with insomnia. Iron deficiency is also noted as a potential cause of sleep problems. The document reviews this research on supplements like melatonin and B vitamins that may positively influence sleep through effects on neurotransmitters, circadian rhythms and other brain and body systems involved in sleep regulation.
The document discusses sleep and provides information on several topics related to sleep:
1) It explains circadian rhythms and how the body's biological clock controls sleep-wake cycles and other bodily functions like temperature and hormone levels.
2) It describes the different stages of sleep, including NREM and REM sleep, and how people cycle through these stages throughout the night.
3) It discusses how sleep is measured using tools like EEGs, EOGs, and EMGs to monitor brain waves, eye movements, and muscle activity during sleep.
4) It debunks several common misconceptions about sleep, such as the ideas that the body and brain fully shut down during sleep, that a small

Roles of Hormones Involved in Male and Female Reproductive Systems.pptxJevieGonzales3
The document discusses the roles of hormones in the male and female reproductive systems. It aims to explain the role of hormones and have students determine the hormones involved and their functions. It covers topics like the hormones responsible for pregnancy, sexual characteristics, and contraception. Students will learn through a hormone identification activity and charting exercise. The document emphasizes abstinence as the safest method for teenagers to avoid pregnancy and encourages educating peers on contraception benefits and risks.
Hormones are chemical messengers that glands produce and send to target organs to cause actions in the body. Hormone balance is when hormone levels remain within normal ranges and do not cause symptoms, while imbalance occurs when levels are abnormal and do cause symptoms. Some key hormones include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormone, DHEA, ACTH, cortisol, and growth hormone. These hormones regulate important bodily functions like reproduction, metabolism, stress response, development, and more. Hormone imbalance can negatively impact health and cause conditions such as diabetes, adrenal fatigue, and Cushing's disease.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
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.

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.

2. From the earliest times, scientists and philosophers have wondered why we spend one
third of our existence in an unconscious state. You may be surprised to learn that scientist
in the 21st century are not much closer than Aristotle was to resolving this vexing
question.
An article published in the medical hypotheses offered the following explanation for sleep:
The vegetative state is primary and the waking state is a periodic departure superimposed
upon the vegetative life. The profound restorative role of sleep has long been appreciated
on a general level, but the physiological events that occurred during sleep and their specific
functions remain elusive.
Until we fully understand what goes on inside our body and brain during sleep, we will not
be able to answer the question of why 30% of our existence is spent in a state of
suspended animation. One fact is clear, however, sleep is much more than idle.
3. Sleep Is A Much More Active State Than Was Thought
Contrary to the popular conception of sleep as an idle and inert state, it is, in fact, an active physiological event. Within
the outward motionless body, electro-neurological oscillations and cascading hormones define the biologic turbulence
of sleep. Furthermore the complex hormonal and brainwave activities that occur during sleep are crucial to a smooth
immune system operation, cognitive function, emotional well-being, and physical development.
The over-arcane importance of nighttime sleep stems from the fact that circadian rhythms which orchestrate all
biological processes, are dependent upon the sleep-wake cycle. Thus, it is not surprising that the experimental animals
deprived of sleep for extended periods exhibit severe metabolic and neuroendocrine abnormalities, leading to
degeneration and ultimately death. In humans, too, sleep deprivation causes problems. Sleep is particularly important
for athletes and others engaged in physical training because it helps stave off over-training syndrome, marked by
elevated cortisol levels.
Whether you are an athlete or not, adequate nighttime sleep is vital to optimizing hormone levels.
The emphasis on nighttime sleep bears elaboration. Studies of night shift workers [4] showing persistently distorted
hormonal rhythms and greater incidents of health problems. These findings have prompted research into endocrine
phase shifting techniques.
Light exposure and administration of melatonin were designed to help the woes of night shift workers. The bottom line
is while daytime naps can be beneficial on an adjunct basis no amount of daytime sleet and substitute for a good nights
sleep.
4. Stress
Daily life imposes a sordid physical, mental, and emotional stressors that conspire to
disrupt the biological homeostasis of the body. Nighttime sleep is a time of rest rated
reorganization, which the chaotic influence of stress is turned back. Hence, sleep is a
bulwark against stress and cortisol increases. Conversely, sleep deprivation amplifies the
impact of stress and is capable of raising cortisol levels.
Other hormonal effects of sleep deprivation include: impaired insulin function, alterations in
thyroid hormones, decreased growth hormone output, and in men, decreased testosterone
levels. The hormonal effects of sleep deficiency are remarkably similar to the hormonal
changes associated with aging. In these two conditions are mutually reinforcing insofar as
reduced sleep quality and older individuals is both a case and result of hormonal decline.
Disturbed or interrupted sleep can cause growth hormone output to be reduced or aborted.
Therefore, not merely sleep but sounds sleep, it’s essential to maximizing growth hormone
release.

5. Phases of Sleep
The major episodes of slow wave sleep occurred during the first half of the night at which
time surging growth hormone: sides with the lowest cortisol levels of the day. Conversely,
the second half the night is marked by diminished growth hormone output, and cortisol
levels rising toward a morning peak.
Sleep researchers postulate that the early period, during which growth hormone levels and
cortisol levels are maximally disassociated in favor of growth hormone, it is a time of
uniquely significant anabolic activity.
With advancing age, the nighttime sleep induced growth hormone pitfalls in the cortisol
levels rise, consonant with the general age related reduction in the anabolic/catabolic ratio.
The hormonal shift towards catabolism is largely responsible for the physical deterioration
of aging and the closing of the nocturnal anabolic window may play a central role in this
connection.

6. Diet
Growth hormone release is influenced not only by aging, but also buy diet. Insulin is
antagonistic to growth hormone. For precisely, the cost of growth hormone inhibition is not
high insulin but rather high blood sugar which because insulin is secreted to bring down the
blood sugar level, overlap some time with the high insulin levels. The issue here is whether
consuming carbohydrate before bed, by causing a rising blood sugar, will blunt the
nocturnal growth hormone search.
Interestingly, there is some evidence indicating that sleep related growth hormone spurt is
not suppressed by hyperglycemia. This suggested that repeated observations of the
suppressive effect of high blood sugar levels on growth hormone release in the waking
state may not apply equally to the sleeping state-but more studies are needed to clarify
this. In any event, other studies show that fasting prior to sleep can heighten sleep sleep
related growth hormone output.

8. Therefore, based on the evidence in both the sleeping and waking period, going to bed with a belly
full of carbs is hormonally not wise and may drop, if not nullify, night time growth hormone release.
Conversely, allowing an appropriate amount of time after eating carbohydrate before going to bed
will help maximize nighttime growth hormone release. Therefore, to enhance growth hormone
output, don’t eat carbs within ninety minutes of going to bed.
Hours of sleep that begin earlier and end earlier or more in harmony with hormonal rhythms and
are more valuable than an equivalent amount of sleep that begins later an insulator. This is one of
the many instances in which scientific research validates ancient wisdom: the proverb one hours
sleep before midnight is worth two after is correct in essence. Accordingly, to optimize hormonal
status and maximize the darkness hours spent sleeping and maximize daylight hours spent
awake.
This is another way of expressing the early to bed early to rise adage if you balk at this
recommendation because you consider yourself a night person you will probably find that once you
change your sleeping pattern you become a morning person.
