Classify the types of sleep with the charactericistics provided: Either Rapid EYE movement sleep or Non-Rapid Eye movement sleep

-slow wave sleep

-needed to repair metabolic damage to cells

-theta waves

-higher blood pressure

-dsynchronized as in awakeness

-acids in neural plasticity required for learning

-higher brain metablism

-activates the limbic system

-5-8 cycles/sec

-delta waves

-regular breathing and Heart rate

-irregular breathing and heart rate

-1-5 cycles/sec

Solution

- theta waves (REM sleep is characterized by brain waves which are similar to those observed during wakefulness i.e. theta waves, alpha waves and even the high frequency beta waves)

- Higher blood pressure

- desynchronized as in awakeness

- acids in neural plasticity required for learning (maybe gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) which is a neurotransmitter)

- higher brain metabolism

- activates the limbic system (limbic system includes the amygdala and hippocampus parts of the brain that are involved in emotions and formation of memories)

- irregular breathing and heart rate

- 5-8 cycles/sec (frequency of theta brain wave)

- slow wave sleep (characterized by slow delta brain waves)

- needed to repair metabolic damage to cells

- delta waves

- regular breathing and heart rate

- 1-5 cycles/sec (frequency of delta waves)
