Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms Periodic physiological fluctuations Have you ever had jet lag? Circadian Rhythm Biological clock Regular bodily rhythms that occur on a 24-hour cycle, wakefulness & body temperature

Sleep and Dreams REM (Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep recurring sleep stage vivid dreams “paradoxical sleep” muscles are generally relaxed, but other body systems are active

Freud vs. Hobson & McCarley
19
Dreams as Meaningful Events Freud Dreams existed to protect you from disturbing thoughts during your sleep To serve as sources of wish fulfillment. Despite the serious lack of evidence, this theory has gained popularity.
20
Dreams as Random Brain Activity Activation-synthesis theory Dreams begin with random electrical activation coming from the brain stem. As this energy sweeps over the cerebral cortex… The sleeper experiences impressions of sensation, memory, motivation, emotion and movement. Thus dreams are the brain's attempt to make sense of/to synthesize this random activity.
21
REM sleep furnishes the brain with an internal source of needed stimulation. This internal activation Promotes the growth & development of the brain at the time when the sleeping brain has blocked out external stimulation. Hobson & McCarley
22
Dream on Modern sleep scientists now know that the content of dreams varies by Age Gender Culture Children are more likely to dream about animals than adults. And their animals are large and scary, while the animals college students dream about are more often small, tame, pets.
23
Women everywhere more commonly dream of children while men more often dream of aggression, weapons, and tools. In Ghana dreams often feature attacks by cows, while Americans often dream of being naked in public. Mexican American college students dream more often of death than do their Anglo American counterparts.
24
Don't dream it, be it Research has also found that your dreams frequently connect with recent experience. Typically, the first REM period of the night connects with the events of the previous day. The REM periods build on that connection, But the original experience wanes throughout the night.
26
Sleep Across the Lifespan
27
Sleep Stages Lullabies
28
How people sleep is a serious issue In the U.S. advertisers present an almost overwhelming array of books, tapes, songs, foods, and drugs guaranteed to put the average consumer to sleep.
29
The old sleep standby Is, of course, the lullaby You know… Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top… Sing along here, people.
30
Your assignment Get together with your study group. Adapt or create a lullaby to address some aspect of sleep and sleep schedules. An example: Rock-a-bye baby, going to sleep, Alpha waves cease and delta waves peak Then comes a dream with stage-one-like REM And the next night it starts all over again You will perform your lullaby for the class
