Rapid eye movement sleep

I do believe that preschoolers can show some symptoms of bi-polar disorder; however it should be something that is monitored very closely, until the child gets a little older in age. The children should not be diagnosed at too early of an age, because that is something that could stigmatize them and make them wonder why they are treated differently than their peers, furthermore their peers may wonder why another student is being treated differently compared to them. Because their pre-frontal…

Sleeping is not just something most people like doing, it’s needed for everyone in order to function correctly and to the fullest potential. People all around the world unintentionally deprive themselves of sleep due to not knowing the right amount that is needed day to day. Scientists around the world have done studies of people while they’re asleep and discovered what exactly happens to us while we are asleep and how it affects our day to day responsibilities and abilities. When one is…

The topic I have chosen for this paper is sleep. Sleep is when we relax to the point of no longer being conscious ( state of not being aware). During this time our bodies and muscles relax, and our brain uses this time to store some of the information and memories gained during the day. We should get some amount of sleep every 24 hour period. Our Circadian Rhythms reset about every 24 hours and sleep is needed during every one of these periods to keep our bodies working correctly. Our bodies…

To the average adult, seven hours of sleep is enough to rest the mind and the body, however throughout the day many people choose to take naps. Sleep enhances subject’s memory of specific activities that occurred throughout the day. Lau (2011) conducted a study where the importance of taking a nap was assessed. He hypothesized that the participants who napped performed better than those who did not. I agree with Lau’s hypothesis because without sleep, the mind is distracted from daily learning…

this week’s assignment for the 2 page paper, I was really excited. From the website given I chose sleep disorders and restless leg syndrome as my two topics. I chose sleep disorders, because it has always interested me. I chose restless leg syndrome, because my dad has it. He suffers from it almost every night. I would love to learn more about it to be able to help him. There are many common sleep disorders. Most of them can be caused by stress, physical health, emotional health, physical…

disorders because of what each individual mind works, but there is ways to help with sleep disorders. There are programs to help find out what sleeping disorder one has and to know what is triggering the episodes. The joy one gets after receiving a dream that has symbolism to it is a great way to share experiences. Each symbol relates to a different topic and diversity in dreaming is a whole new world. The sleep stages can also be looked at in a different way. The stages can be explored in…

confusional arousals, sleep terrors, REM sleep behaviour disorder, recurrent isolated or sleep paralysis. People experience many of these in a lifetime but have little information on the reasons for their occurrences. Parasomnias are troublesome events that can happen physically or experientially to an individual during sleep. They aren’t unusual for a person to experience in their life. Many types can exist and some of these types include emotions, sleep-related movements, behaviours,…

There are very few differences between a newborn and a fetus. At the 32 week mark, the fetus has almost the same behavioral patterns as a newborn. At the point of 9 weeks, a fetus can hiccup, react to loud noises, and experience rapid eye movement (REM) which is sleep of dreams. These are just some of the human like senses a fetus has. One of the first senses discussed is fetal alertness. It is known that even though these fetuses have all these abilities, they don’t spend most of their times…

emotionally, and physically tiring (Anstey, Tweedie, & Lord, 2016). Rostered shift work influences a loss of routine causing fatigue, sleep disturbance, and can potentially have a negative influence on a paramedic’s mental health (Sofianopoulos, Williams, Archer, and Thompson, 2011). This assignment will analyse shift work and the impacts this has on the sleep and mental health of paramedics. Paramedics work is dictated by patients. When patients become acutely sick or injured, paramedics are…

why humans sleep? Some might think what is sleep? When we think of sleep we think of it as something our bodies naturally do when we close our eyes, lay down and go unconscious, and we are correct. It has been proven that sleep is very essential to a human body because sleep affects our how our brain functions mentally and physically. When we sleep, our brain doesn't completely shut off, our brain is very much active when asleep. When asleep humans usually go through four stages of sleep…
