Document Summary
Memory neural pathways for new information reinforced: baron et. Al. (2010): word paired: better recall for word pairs after sleeping, more slow wave sleep (deep sleep) positively correlated with recall. Restorative theory - help restore brain and body for future behavior: restore neurotransmitter sensitivity. Electroencephalograph allows is to record brain activity. Awake : beta waves = alert (small and fast, alpha waves relaxed, bigger than beta waves. Experience hypnogogic sensations (auditory, visual, floating, falling) Hallu(cid:272)i(cid:374)atio(cid:374)s + not a(cid:449)are you"re asleep = alie(cid:374)s/ghostly e(cid:374)(cid:272)ou(cid:374)ters. Stage 2 first stage of true sleep (asleep) Theta waves + sleep spindles (brief bursts of activity) May respond to ringing phone, knocking at door may still wake you u- Growth hormones released (building physical growth and connecting neurons) Stage 4 deepest sleep (slow wave sleep) Difficult to wake up: groggy and disoriented.
