| ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS | occurs when there is a shift in the quality or patterns of your mental activity |
| THOUGHTS | may become fuzzy and disorganized and you may feel less alert, your thoughts may take bizarre turns and disorganized |
| FORMS OF ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS | Daydreaming, being hypnotized, achieving a meditative state, being under the influence of certain drugs (alcohol, tobacco, drugs), Sleep |
| SLEEP | it is one of the body's biological rhythms |
| SLEEP | was once referred to as a "gentle tyrant" |
| SLEEP | consists of both REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM stages |
| REM | is relatively active |
| non-REM | is much deeper and restful |
| CIRCADIAN RHYTM | the sleep-wake cycle |
| circadian rhytm | "Circa"- about ; "diem" -day |
| SLEEP WAKE CYCLE | is ultimately controlled by the brain, specifically by an area within the hypothalamus, the tiny section of the brain that influences glandular system |
| suprachiasmatic nucleus | the internal clock that tells people when to wake up and when to fall asleep |
| suprachiasmatic nucleus | release of melatonin is influenced by a structure deep within the hypothalamus in an area called |
| ADAPTIVE THEORY | proposes that animals and human evolved different sleep patterns to avoid being present during predator's normal hunting times, which typically would be at night. |
| RESTORATIVE THEORY OF SLEEP | this states that sleep is necessary to the physical health of the body . |
| RESTORATIVE THEORY OF SLEEP | during sleep, chemicals that were used up during the day's activities are replenished and cellular damage is repaired. |
| RAPID EYE MOVEMENT (REM) SLEEP | a relatively psychologically active of sleep where dreaming takes place |
| NON-REM(NREM) SLEEP | spans from lighter stages to a much deeper, more restful kind of sleep |
| N1 (R&K STAGE 1) | Light sleep |
| N1 (R&K STage 1) | as theta wave activity increases and alpha wave activity fades away, people are said to be entering N1 sleep. |
| N1 (R&K STAGE 1) | hypnagogic images/ hallucinations are also said to be experienced in this stage. |
| N2 (R&K STAGE 2) | SLEEP SPINDLES |
| N2 (R&K STAGE 2) | as people drift further into sleep, the body temperature continues to drop. |
| N2 (R&K STAGE 2) | heart rate slows, breathing becomes more shallow and irregular and the EEg will show the first signs of sleep spindles, brief bursts of activity lasting only a second or two. |
| N3 (R&K STAGE 3) | Delta waves roll in. |
| N3 (R&K STAGE 3) | the slowest and largest waves make their appearance, called delta waves. |
| R (R&K REM) | the sleeping person will go back up through N2 and then into a stage which body temperature increases to a near-waking levels. |
| NIGHTMARES AND REM BEHAVIOR DISORDERS | are bad dreams and some of it can be utterly terrifying. |
| NIGHT TERRORS | a rare disorder; are more likely in children and also likely to disappear as the child grow older. |

| NARCOLEPSY | symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness that results in the person falling asleep throughout the day at inappropriate time and place. |
| ENERESIS | URINATING WHILE ASLEEP IN THE BED |
| CIRCADIAN RHYTHM DISORDERS | DISTURBANCES OF THE SLEEP WAKE CYCLE SUCH AS JET LAG AND SHIFT WORK |
| HYPERSOMNIA | EXCESSIVE DAYTIME SLEEPINESS |
| NOCTURNAL LEG CRAMPS | PAINFUL CRAMPS IN CALF / FOOT MUSCLES |
| SOMNABULISM | WALKING, SITTING, OR PERFORMING COMPLEX BEHAVIOR WHILE ASLEEP |
| NIGHT TERRORS | EXTREME FEAR, AGITATION, SCREAMING WHILE ASLEEP |
| RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME | UNCOMFORTABLE SENSATIONS IN LEGS CAUSING MOVEMENT AND LOSS OF SLEEP |
| DREAMS | happen during REM sleep |
| FREUD'S INTERPRETATION | UNCONSCIOUS TRYING TO MANIFEST INTO CONSCIOUSNESS |
| TWO THEORIES OF DREAM | Freud's interpretation, The activation synthesis hypothesis |
| FREUD'S INTERPRETATION | DREAMS AS WISH FULFILLMENT |
| Manifest Content | actual dream itself |
| Latent Content | true meaning of a dream that was hidden and only expressed in symbols |
| ACTIVATION-SYNTHESIS HYPOTHESIS | a dream is merely another kind of thinking that occurs when people sleep |
| ACTIVATION-SYNTHESIS HYPOTHESIS | less realistic because it comes not from the outside world of reality but within the people's memories and experiences from the past. |
| HYPNOSIS | a state of consciousness in which a person is susceptible to suggestions |
| STEPS IN HYPNOTIC INDUCTION | 1.) THE HYPNOTIST TELLS THE PERSON TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS BEING SAID. 2.) THE PERSON IS TOLD TO RELAX AND FEEL TIRED. 3.) THE HYPNOTIST TELLS THE PERSON TO "LET GO" AND ACCEPT SUGGESTIONS EASILY. 4.) THE PERSON IS TOLD TO USE VIVID IMAGINAGINATION |
| THEORIES OF HYPNOSIS | HYPNOSIS AS DISSOCIATION; SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY |
| HYPNOSIS AS DISSOCIATION | ONE PART OF THE MIND IS AWARE OF ACTIONS / ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE WHILE THE "HYPNOTIZED PART" IS NOT |

| PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE | USERS BELIEVE DRUGS ARE NEEDED TO FUNCTION |
| depressants | HAVE SEDATIVE EFFECTS |
| STIMULANTS | INCREASE FUNCTIONING OF NERVOUS SYSTEM |
| HALLUCINOGENS | ALTER BRAINS' INTERPRETATIONS OF SENSATIONS |
| STIMULANTS | SPEED UP THE NERVOUS SYSTEM; THE HEART MAY BEAT FASTER OR THE BRAIN MAY WORK FASTER |
| STIMULANTS | UPPERS |
| STIMULANTS | CAFFEINE, NICOTINE, COCAINE |
| AMPHETAMINE | RISK OF ADDICTION, STROKE, FATAL HEART PROBLEM, PSYCHOSIS |
| COCAINE | RISK OF ADDICTION, FATAL HEART PROBLEMS, PSYCHOSIS |
| NICOTINE | ADDICTION, CANCER |
| CAFFEINE | ADDICTION, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE |
| DEPRESSANTS | SLOWS THE NERVOUS SYSTEM |
| EUPHORIA | INDUCING AND PAIN RELIEVING DRUGS DERIVED FROM OPIUM |
| BARBITURATES | BRAIN DAMAGE, DEATH, ADDICTION |
| BENZODIAZEPINES | LOWER RISK OF OVERDOSE AND ADDICTION WHEN TAKEN ALONE |
| ALCOHOL | ALCOHOLISM, HEALTH PROBLEMS, DEPRESSION, INCREASED RISK OF ACCIDENTS, DEATH |
| NARCOTICS | addiction, death |
| HALLUCINOGENS | actually cause the brain to alter its interpretation of sensations and can produce sensory distortions similar to synesthesia |
| HALLUCINOGEN | POSSIBLE PERMANENT MEMORY PROBLEMS, BAD "TRIPS" SUICIDE OVERDOSE AND DEATH |
