Document Summary

The multiple sleep latency test (mslt: commonly used to diagnose narcolepsy (will show rem during mslt naps) Patient first has a night study to make sure the mslt is valid. 5 nap opportunities every 2 hours during the day. Same process but you try to stay awake while semi reclined. Not allowed to move or make noise (that"s cheating!) Sleep deprivation: sws: core sleep (keeps you alive you need this to live. Your body restores: rem: optional sleep (keeps you sane don"t need it to survive but you need it to be sane. Rem uses your energy rather than produces it). Following complete sleep deprivation what happens: on the first night, regain 30% of sleep loss. Thus 100% of sws loss: and 50% of rem loss, on the second night. Microsleeps (when you fall asleep for a few seconds) and lapses (where you zone out and don"t register what"s happening, even if you"re technically awake)
