5 Stages of Sleep I II III IV (deepest sleep of all)

6 REM Sleep A stage of sleep characterized by rapid eye movements, a high level of brain activity, a deep relaxation of the muscles, and dreaming Known as active sleep as if you were awake Almost all dreaming takes place at REM sleep Lasts minutes We go through this cycle every 90 minutes At no point does your brain become inactive

7 Spend 1/3 of our lives in sleep Newborns 16 hours a day sleeping, ½ of it in REM sleep Teens 10 to 11 hours Young Adults 8 hours Elderly 5 hours

8 Rhythm of activity and inactivity lasting approximately one day Biological clock genetically programmed to regulate physiological responses within 25 hours Jet Lag takes about one day for each hour of time change to reset your circadian clock Sleep is an active state essential for mental/physical functioning

9 Insomnia (mental) failure to obtain enough sleep at night in order to feel rested/why? anxiety, depression, overuse of alcohol/drugs

10 Sleep Apnea (physical) person has trouble breathing while asleep/flow of air to lungs actually stops/affects one in 100 Americans/usually occurs among older people

12 Nightmares unpleasant dreams/occur during dream phase of REM sleep Night Terrors sleep disruptions that occur during Stage IV of sleep, involving screaming, panic, and confusion

13 Sleepwalking walking or carrying out behaviors while asleep, without any memory of doing so/associated with children/may be inherited/not dangerous to wake sleepwalkers Sleep Talking talk in your sleep/talk as if carrying a conversation with someone

14 The Content of Dreams Often we incorporate our everyday activities into our dreams

15 Dream Interpretation Freud believed that no matter how simple or mundane, dreams may contain clues to thoughts the dreamer is afraid to acknowledge in his/her waking hours Contain hidden meanings Some researchers believe dreaming allows people a chance to review and address some of the problems they faced during the day Removing certain, unneeded memories Form of mental housecleaning

16 Daydreams Dreaming while we are awake Usually when we are in situations that require little attention or when we are bored Lucid Dreaming

17 Hypnosis Form of altered consciousness in which people become highly suggestible to changes in behavior and thought Used for assistance in quitting smoking, losing weight, etc. Does not put participant to sleep Theories of Hypnosis Uses of Hypnosis Posthypnotic Suggestion A suggestion made during hypnosis that influences the participant s behavior afterward

18

19 Process of learning to control bodily states with the help of specialized machines Feedback makes learning possible

20 Focusing of attention to clear one s mind and produce relaxation Three Approaches 1. Transendental Meditation - repetition of mantra 2. Mindfulness Meditation - focuses on the present moment 3. Breath Meditation - concentration on one s respiration - process of inhaling and exhaling

21 Psychoactive Drugs Interact with central nervous system to alter a person s mood, perception, and behavior (e.g., caffeine, alcohol, marijuana, LSD) Chemicals that affect the nervous system and result in altered consciousness How Drugs Work Drug molecules act like neurotransmitters and hook onto the ends of nerve cells (neurons) and send out their own chemical messages

22

23 Marijuana Dried leaves and flowers of Indian hemp that produce an altered state of consciousness when smoked or ingested THC tetrahydrocannabinol active ingredient

24 Hallucinations Perceptions that have no direct external cause Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, or feelings that do not exist Portions of brain that respond to incoming stimuli become disorganized, while central nervous system is aroused

25 Hallucinogens Drugs that produce hallucinations Psychedelic create loss of contact with reality LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) A potent psychedelic drug that produces distortions of perception and thought Trip lasts 6 to 14 hours May have flashback experiences, even months/years after taking LSD

26 Opiates Usually called narcotics Opium, morphine, heroin Alcohol Most widely used and abused mind-altering substance in the United States Depressant that serves to inhibit the brain s normal functions Increased drinking within specific time, ability to function diminishes
