  • A time spent, mainly during the night, when the person is less reactive to external stimuli
  • A 4-stage process by which dreams are stored in the memory bank

  • Alert= Sleep spindles, Relaxed= Alpha, Stage 1 = sleep spindles, Stage 2=delta, Stages 3 and 4= theta
  • Alert = Alpha, Relaxed = Delta, Sleep stage 1 =Theta, Sleep stage 2 = delta, Stages 3 and 4 = sleep spindles

  • Alert =Beta, Relaxed = Delta, Sleep stage 1 = sleep spindles, stage 2= theta and stages 3 and 4 = Delta

4. Which of the following shows the correct magnitude of the electrical waves exhibited during sleep?

  • Theta (3.5-7.5), sleep spindles 1-2s burst of 12-14 H
  • Theta (3.5-7.5), sleep spindles 1-2s burst of 20-24 Hz
  • Theta (8.5-12.5), sleep spindles 1-2s burst of 20-24 H

5. What does the restoration model of sleep state?
