-
sleep ( altered different levels of consciousness, it is different from waking consciousness)
-
Without day/night information, sleep-wake
cycles lengthened to ~25 hours
it is one of body's daily ( circadian) biological rhythms; sleep-wake cycle controlled by brain including the hypothalamus and neurotransmitter serotonin

-
people can live without sleep for a while, can't live without it together

Rapid eye movement (REM)
-
-
-
Vivid, more detailed and longer dreams
-
-
-
-
NREM (non-REM) sleep (N)
-
-
NREM stages
N2: moderate sleep
EEG sleep spindles appear, theta activity is predominant; body temperature continues to drop, heart rate and breathing slow
-
N3: deep sleep
delta activity makes up 20% to more than 50% of EEG activity, body at the lowest level of functioning and people are hard to awaken; sleep disorder such as sleep walking and night terrors occur in this stage.
-
-
N1: light sleep
while awake, primarily beta activity, more alpha as one relaxes, onset of sleep in N1 as associated with alpha being replaced by theta

dreams
why do we dream?
Freud's interpretation: wish fulfillment, conflicts events and desires represented in symbolic form in dreams
-
Latent content: the true, hidden meaning of a dream
activation- synthesis hypothesis: dreams are created by higher centers of cortex t explain the brain stem's activation of cortical cells during REM sleep periods
dreams are product of random signals (activation), with brain forming explanation of signals based on memories and other information ( synthesis)
Activation-information-mode model (AIM) = suggests that information access during waking hours can influence the synthesis of dreams
