• Sleep and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
• Many people suffer from problems with their sleep. ... It is well known that a problem with sleep is one of many problems for those with PTSD. Sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep, waking frequently, and having distressing dreams or nightmares, are common to those with PTSD. In fact, sleep disturbance can be a normal response to past trauma or anticipated threat.

For example, thinking about the traumatic event, thinking about general worries and problems, or just thinking, "Here we go again, another night, another terrible night’s sleep," may make it difficult to fall asleep. ...

• The three main contemporary behavioural treatments of insomnia are Stimulus Control Instructions, Sleep Restriction Therapy, and Sleep Hygiene Techniques.   All three approaches attempt to correct the sleep-preventing associations and to provide education about sleep to the patient.
•   Treatment revolves around the use of a set of six instructions with logical ties to good sleep.   The first thing patients are required to do is to attempt to sleep only when they are sleepy. ...   Sleep is not exempt of this rule. This instruction not only avoids undue associations of attempting to sleep with frustration and concomitant arousal, but it also sensitizes patients to the internal physiological cues of sleepiness. ...
• Decreased arousal levels are associated with the bed and bedroom by restricting the activities therein to sleep only. According to the second instruction, all arousing activities such as discussions and financial arrangements must be carried out outside of the sleep environment. ...
• The third requirement forces patients to get out of bed if they are unable to sleep. ...
• The fifth instruction is to get up at the same time every morning regardless of the quality of sleep during the night.   Many insomniacs try to make up for a poor night of sleep by sleeping later in the morning. Sleeping in actually makes the situation worse by increasing sleep onset latency the following night. ...
• The last two rules help to regulate the body's sleep rhythm and deprive the patient of sleep. Sleep deprivation decreases sleep onset latency the following night and strengthens the association of sleep to the sleep environment.

• But is sleep really doing nothing? It looks like it. ...
• Stages of Sleep.
• Sleep follows a regular cycle each night. The EEG pattern changes in a predictable way several times during a single period of sleep. There are two basic forms of sleep: slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. (REM sleep is sometimes called "paradoxical sleep. ") Infants spend about 50% of their sleep time in SWS and 50% in REM sleep. Adults spend about 20% of their sleep time in REM and 80% in SWS sleep. Elderly people spend less than 15% of their sleep time in REM sleep.
• Look at the differences in the EEG, EMG and EOG during waking, REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement Sleep) and SWS sleep.
• REM Sleep.
• Most dreaming occurs during REM sleep. During REM sleep, a person's eyes move back and forth rapidly. Sleep researchers discovered this when they woke people up during REM sleep. Often when people in REM sleep wake up, they say that they were just dreaming. The EEG pattern during REM sleep is similar to the EEG pattern when people are awake. However, the muscle activity is very quiet during REM sleep. ... This also means that sleepwalkers are not in REM sleep and are not acting out their dreams.

Here I review some experiments that address these questions, summarize our current knowledge in the area, and propose some new and speculat ive ideas.
• Sleep.
• However, we are not the only lazy beings: sleep is conserved (retained in evolut ion) in all homeothermic (constant body temperature) vertebrate mammals. Sleep is also one of the strongest drives which guides animal -- including human--behavior: it is extraordinarily difficult to avoid sleeping for periods longer than 24 hours. Force d sleep deprivation can kill a rat. Additionally, sleep -- and especially REM, or dream sleep-- displays unique brain processes, including very active ones, unlike what the resting sensation it produces would suggest. ...
• One interesting question about sleep concerns the mechanism of sleep activati on. Although the processes of sleep activation are not clearly defined, they probably involve a circadian rhythm-dependent mechanism, triggered by light, and an effect dependent on the time since the individual last slept. ...
• Sleep consists of two very different alternating stages. ...
• Most animals have three or more cycles of NREM-REM sleep per night. ...
• During NR EM, there are decreases in blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate, while REM sleep is associated with activation and increase in the irregularity of these functions, along with penile erection and clitoral engorgement. ...
• REM sleep.
• the experience of dreams should have motivated scientists to look for evidence of brain activation during sleep. " Yet REM was not discovered until 1953, and even then scientists were greatly surprised to find such increases in br ain activity during sleep. 12 There is strong evidence that both REM and NREM have important functions, but it is REM sleep which has attracted the most attention. This is due partly to the paradoxical nature of this state: while it is the deep est of sleep states in the sense that sensory thresholds are highest (sensory stimulation must be of higher intensity to wake one up during REM as opposed to NREM) and muscle tone is completely inhibited, it is also the most active of sleep states regardi ng brain activity. Additionally, we know that dreams occur mostly during REM sleep. Our desire to understand and interpret our dreams also pushes us to explore REM sleep.

• It is the part of the sleep during which people dream. It is named after a characteristic of this part of sleep, which is much different from deep sleep. During a night of sleep, a person usually has about four or five periods of REM sleep, which are quite short at the beginning of the night, but long at the end. It is believed that REM sleep, and in particular dreaming, is necessary to process the experiences we have had during the day. REM sleep is so physiologically different from the other phases of sleep that they are collectively referred to as Non-REM sleep. ...

• Sleep May Improve Memory By Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News .
• 4 — Sleep is not just for resting, according to new research that suggests the brain uses this apparent down time to process information obtained during the day into more permanent memories. ...
• The discovery adds to the evidence that sleep is productive and necessary to brain health and function for all creatures that snooze.
• As the rodents dozed, the thalamus at the base of their brains originated bursts of electrical activity known as sleep spindles. ...
• The researchers discovered most of the activity took place during slow wave sleep. This stage of slumber makes up the majority of the sleep cycle and occurs before REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. ...
• it is not REM but slow wave sleep (that) is critical for memory formation. ...
• "We know more about the biophysical mechanisms underlying sleep spindles than any other brain rhythm, so I expect that the (research) progress can now continue to the molecular level in understanding the significance of sleep for memory consolidation," said Sejnowski. ...
• Since sleep appears to be critical to memory formation, a good night's sleep may be better than an all-nighter or other traditional memory aids. ...
• "Obviously alteration of the regular wake-sleep cycle can affect the proper replay of information and sleep deprivation is known to affect memories," explained Buzsáki, who added that lack of sleep could also put a person in a bad mood.
