One of the undeniable facts about sleep is that it isn’t elective it is a required activity that is important for normal functioning of both body and mind. Growth hormone and prolactin), and some brain activity (e.g. Actually, during definite sleep states, many parts of the brain are fair as energetic as they are when we are awake! Everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams, and very scanty people would be able to recall all of their dreams. Nevertheless, some reasons that have been suggested for why we need to sleep are Restoration and recovery of various systems of the body Energy conservation Concern from predators Brain development Memory processing and Emotional discharge. But no such animal has been found, apart from maybe low smooth animals that don’t have brains or have very plain brains. Typically, a polysomnograph produces graphs of brain activity, eye movements, muscle tension, movement of sure muscles, heart rhythm, breathing, and oxygen levels in the blood. The graphs reflecting brain activity, eye movements, and muscle tension have been of fundamental importance for sleep science. Eye movements are recorded by use of electrodes placed close the eyes, which measure trivial electrical changes that occur when they eye move, producing an electrooculogram (ECG). Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is one of the two basic stages of sleep, the other one being NonRapid Eye Movement (non REM or REM) sleep. REM sleep is also the stage during which maximum of our vividly recalled dreams occur. NonRapid Eye Movement (non REM or REM) sleep, the second of the two basic sleep stages is in itself divided into three (or four) stages, each with its own specific patterns of brain activity. As the body temperature goes down and the melatonin levels increase, we become sleepy. It does however reinforce the cycle of the biological clock, in that it makes it firm to stay awake and retain our eyes begin after about 16 hours. The metabolic rate is lower during sleep than during wakefulness, which indicates that sleep conserves energy. As expected, animals that expend greater amounts of energy while awake, due to lofty metabolic rates, have longer complete sleep times. Many people use alcohol as a means to get to sleep, since it tends to make us sleepy. Coffee and energy drinks containing caffeine have a stimulating effect, which may stop us from falling asleep initially, but can cause a swift reduction in alertness as the effect wears off. Basically, we consider sleep to be enough when the person does not suffer from daytime sleepiness or worn functioning. If we sleep at the wrong time of the day, in relation to our biological clock, our sleep will be less effective. Interestingly, the amount of time we sleep has decreased in the end fifty years. Experiments on human beings involving whole sleep deprivation divulge that the sleep deprivation is counteracted by periods of micro sleep, where the brain goes into a sleep state for a period of between one second to half a minute. Alarmingly too, while people who have been exposed to complete sleep deprivation are usually aware of the resulting impairments to functioning, people subjected to prejudiced sleep deprivation often misjudge their aptitude to function, and trust themselves to be more functional than they are. Apart from lapses in attention due to micro sleeps, other effects of sleep deprivation can be: The lower cognitive functioning caused by sleep deprivation can have devastating effects on the safety of both the s
