Jet lag

advanced sleep phase

delayed sleep phase

Front 8

Work shift disorder

Back 8

working odd hours impacts circadian rhythm

Front 9

Jet lag

Back 9

Occurs when traveling through timezones. Traveling east has biggest impact. shortening day has worst impact

Front 10

advanced sleep phase

Back 10

melatonin secreted earlier. Resulting in earlier sleep and earlier waking. Typically with the elderly

Front 11

delayed sleep phase

Back 11

melatonin secreted later. Later bed time, later wake time.

Front 12

Sleep cycle defined by

Alertness and awakeness

Front 14

Alpha waves are associated with

Relaxed/sleepiness

Front 15

Stage 1 sleep

Back 15

light sleep. amnesia in transition from wakefullness to stage 1 sleep. myoclonic jerks occur

Front 16

myoclonic jerks

Back 16

jerking motions feels like falling 2-3 minutes.

k-complex

Back 19

long wavelengths

Stage 3 sleep

Back 21

>50% slow wave (SWS) slow wave sleep Delta waves occur here

Front 22

Stage 4 sleep

Back 22

>50% Slow wave sleep

night terrors occur here (cannot be comforted)

periodic fluctuations in physiological function

Front 29

EMG

Back 29

electromyograph: records muscular activity and tension and electrooculograph (records eye movement)

Front 30

SWS

Back 30

slow wave sleep. In stages 3 and 4 of sleep, high amplitude, low-requency delta waves are prominent via EEG

Front 31

ARAS

Back 31

ascending reticular activating system consists of incoming nerve fibers running through the reticular formation that influences physiological arousal
