Helps repair the nervous system During deep sleep, growth hormones are released Sleep gives neurons a chance to repair themselves in the brain and exercise neuronal connections that go away from lack of activity, or sleep Transition into Sleep is the first stage of sleep and is 2%-5%, between awake and asleep Stage 2 is the main stage of sleep or the "baseline" stage and is 45%-60% of sleep Stages 3 and 4 are called delta sleep, slow brain waves occur, deepest stage of sleep, and is low voltage to the brain Stage 5, the last stage, is REM sleep, a very active stage, 20%-25% of sleep, breathing, heart rate and brain waves quicken, dreams occur, and eyes move during stage Rapid Eye Movement
Dreams always occur
Starts with signals from the pons to the thalamus and the cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain that is responsible for learning, thinking, and organizing information
Pons send signals to the spinal cord, turning off neurons, making you paralyzed
REM sleep behavior disorder is when you act out your dreams and you are not paralyzed Dreams are the cortex's way of finding a meaning of random signals from the pons, and interpreting these signals REM sleep is necessary for brain development
Stimulates the learning part of the brain
Infants sleep more and have more REM sleep than adults for good brain development
Increases the amount of proteins in the body
REM helps remember and learn certain mental skills
If you are deprived of REM sleep, it is harder to remember information that you learned
The cortex of the brain organizes the information during consciousness, in use during REM sleep, causing dreams Conclusion Introduction Reasoning
