🗑
|
||||
| opiates/narcotics | Depress neural functioning. Stops producing endorphins.
(Pupils constrict, breathing slows, and lethargy sets in as blissful pleasure replaces pain and anxiety.)
Craving for another fix, need larger doses and extreme discomfort of withdrawal.

🗑
|
||||
| NREM | LIGHT SLEEP. non-rapid eye movement sleep; encompasses all sleep stages except for (4th stage) REM sleep.
🗑
|
||||
| REM (Paradoxical Sleep) | DEEP SLEEP. Rapid eye movement sleep; recurring sleep stage during which vivid dreams commonly occur.
Even though eyes dance and move, your muscles stay relaxed and you cannot be easily awakened.
🗑
|
||||
| Sleep Deprivation Effects | Fatigue, Lethargic (Sleepy), drained of energy and feelings of well-being.
Causes slow reactions and increases errors on visual attention tasks. More accident prone
🗑
|
||||
| 5 Theories of Dreams | 1. To satisfy our own wishes
2. To file away memories
3. To develop and preserve neural pathways
4. To make sense of neural static
5. To mature/reflect cognitive development
🗑
|
||||
| Depressants | Drugs (such as alcohol, barbiturates, and opiates) that reduce neural activity and slow body functions
🗑
|
||||
| Main Depressants | alcohol, barbiturates, and opiates)
🗑
|
||||
| Stimulants | Drugs (such as caffeine, nicotine, and more powerful amphetamines, cocaine, Ecstasy, and methamphetamine) that excite neural activity and speed up body functions

||||
| Sleep Stage 2 | Deeper Sleep. Sleep spindles
where experiencing sleep spindles happen on EEG which are bursts of brain activity
🗑
|
||||

If awoken here, very confused and disoriented. Takes about 1 hour to get here the first time. Stage 4 lessens as night wears on.
🗑
|
||||
| Sleep Stage 4 | REM. Similar to beta waves - fast frequency and low amplitude. Similar to brain waves during wakefulness.
you detour to REM Sleep where you do your most vivid dreaming and most of your dreaming altogether
