Chapter 5 Importance of sleep: The featured study showed that sleep restriction produces a gradual decline in cognitive performance at is substantial. Increase the penis can be a significant problem that appears to contribute to any transportation accident and mishaps at work. Research on selected sleep deprivation suggests that people need REM sleep. These stages of sleep may contribute to memory consolidation. Short sleep duration is associated with a variety of health problems. People who sleep 7 to 8 hours per day have lower mortality rate than individuals who are long or short sleepers.

Consciousness: Some occur spontaneously: Daydreaming, drowsiness, dreaming. Some are physiologically: Hallucination, orgasm, food or oxygen, starvation. Some are psychologically induced: Sensory deprivation, hypnosis, meditation. Bodily Rhythms Biological Rhythms: periodic physiological fluctuations Grizzly bears hibernating Sleep length Female menstrual cycle 24-hour day cycle (alertness) 90-minute sleep cycle Circadian Rhythms: biological clock that regulates bodily rhythms on a 24-hour cycle. Influenced by LIGHT -> causes our pineal gland to increase or decrease production of melatonin. With age, we shift from night owls to morning birds. What would happen if a person was put into a cave for a long period of time without any light? The body works on a natural 25-hour clock.

Chapter 5 Outline On the Nature of Consciousness Consciousness is the awareness of internal and external stimuli. Includes: Awareness of external events (the professor asked me a hard question) Awareness of internal events (my heart was starting to race and I was sweating) Awareness of yourself as the unique being to experience this (why me?) Your awareness about the thought of these experiences (I?m going to make a fool of myself) Consciousness never stops and it would be an endless thought of ideas. William James nicknamed this ?the stream of consciousness? Variations in Levels of Awareness Freud argued that people?s feelings and behavior are driven by unconscious needs, wishes and conflicts.

States of Consciousness Waking and Sleep Rhythms Consciousness ? our awareness of ourselves and our environment Biological Rhythms ? periodic physiological fluctuations Circadian Rhythm ? the biological clock; regular bodily rhythms (for example, of temperature and wakefulness) that occur on a 24-hour cycle REM Sleep ? rapid eye movement sleep, a recurring sleep stage during which vivid dreams commonly occur. Also known as paradoxical sleep, because the muscles are relaxed (except for minor twitches) but other body systems are active Alpha Waves ? the relatively slow brain waves of a relaxed, awake sleep Sleep ? periodic, natural, reversible loss of consciousness ? as distinct from unconsciousness resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or hibernation

Sleep Disorders Matt Barnett Insomnia: Insomnia is the inability to get sufficient sleep. Insomnia can also include constant interruption in sleep, like waking up frequently throughout the night. It can be transient (only a few nights), short-term (2-4 weeks), or chronic (most nights for a period of over a month). There are a few treatment options however. Many patients will use sleeping pills to help them fall and stay asleep. Many behavioral techniques can be used to combat insomnia as well, like utilizing relaxation. Because of the causes of insomnia, like anxiety, it may be more beneficial to treat the symptoms than the effects.

Chapter 1- Thinking Critically 1. Phrenology: A theory that claimed bumps on the skull could reveal our mental abilities and our character traits. 2. Historical figures: - John Locke ("blank slate"): Believed that the at birth the mind was a blank slate, and that our brains grew and developed based on our experiences. The blank slate idea was called the ?tabular-raza? - Charles Darwin (evolution/adaptations): survival of the fittest - Wilhelm Wundt (structuralism and ?father? of psychology): Interested in studying people?s mental experiences. He used a method known as ?introspection? which had subjects engage in self-examination and describe their conscious experiences such as thinking feeling and perceiving.
