Starter: Tell my story of my sleep terror.

Im going to tell you guys about something that has happened to

me 3-4 times in my life. (running around kitchen, at my window
yelling)

Slide 2- why do we dream? FREUD

FREUD Dreams do have meaning.
- Video is talking about dreams. DO you hear them talking about
wishes?---- NO

Slide 3- Why do we dream (2)?

Cognitive theory of dreaming: information processing,

memory and problem solving are applicable for both an

awake and dreaming mind.

If you could show people your dreams, would you?

-if no, then you agree with Freud dreams have meaning.

BUT, what if dreams dont have meaning?........

Slide 4-Why do we dream (3)?

Activation-Synthesis Hypothesis: dreams are just an effort for
your brain to make sense of the neural activity that takes place
during the time you sleep.
- its the opposite of FREUDs idea
As we sleep the rest of our brain shuts down, but the pods
sending random meanings to the frontal lobes

Whats the difference from when you first go to sleep to
the end of your night sleep?
-You dont spend as much time in stages 3 and 4 near
the end of the night.
-Whats happening with the REM stages?
-MORE DREAMING
Lets now talk about sleep over a life time.
Slide 10- What happens when we dont sleep?
Who has pulled an all nighter?
- 1 night? 2 nights? 3 nights?
Howd you feel?
How did it feel when you finally got sleep?

Slide 11- Sleep deprivation effects

+Randy Gardner holds the world record- 11 days and 24 minutes
- The freshman 15 is common, people think its due
to not getting enough sleep
- More calories the next day after an all nighter, or
poor sleep
Slide 12-EFFECTS
Microsleeps- are brief, and unintended like blank stare,
head-snapping
- Like a person trying to drive a car when your tried,
and your head-snaps/bobs
Hyp-no-go-gic Hallucinations- occur when people are
falling asleep or starting to wake up
REM- rebound- You dont get enough dream sleep, when
you do get the sleep you need youll have more dreams
o Deprivation of REM sleep causes an increase in
time spent in REM sleep to catch up
-Youre catching up on stages 3 (deeper sleep) and
stage 4 (deepest sleep)
Slide 13- Insomnia
-If someone comes up to you and says they think they have
insomnia, ask them these three categories.

Slide 15- Sleep Terrors

-Just as I started out with in the beginning with my night terrors, I
had no memory of them. (READ SLIDE & Watch video)
Night terrors usually occur about 2-3 hours after a child
falls to sleep
Usually its a smooth transition, but sometimes a child
becomes agitated and frightened ---- thus causing a night
terror
Slide 16- Sleep disorders
READ SLIDE
-Can lead to high blood pressure and stroke --- mostly in men
-5 year old boys had to get their tonsils out, because they kept getting
misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD--- once people found out about this
disorder the boys were fine
How would you know if you suffered from this?? (YOU WOULDNT)

Slide 17- Narcolepsy

- CAT-A-PLEXY
READ SLIDE
-When we enter REM sleep we lose cataplexy, we lose our muscle tone

Slide 18- REM behavior disorder

READ SLIDE
-This is a video of men who are sleeping in REM sleep and
are acting out their dreams while they sleep
