“Sleep is a reversible
behavioral state of perceptual disengagement from and unresponsiveness to the environment. It is also true that sleep is a complex amalgam of physiological and behavioral processes ”. (Carskadon & Dement)
Awake Drowsy Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage REM Stage 3
Inhibition of centers
& Raphae Nuclei),
Neurons of CCx firing is slow & synchronized
Serotonergic pathways from the RAS to thalamus & hypothalamus initiate delta activity in the cerebral cortex
Inhibition of the Raphae and locus ceruleus Activation of the pontine nucleus through cholinergic and glutamic pathways Desynchronization
pathway broad activation of CCx Hyperpolarization of Motor neurons resulting in broad atonia

expenditure
not nap during the day
never sleeps
asleep during the day but sleep 11 hours at night
terrible!
“Frequent and persistent difficulty initiating
sleep dissatisfaction…despite adequate sleep opportunity”

– Adults – fatigue, decreased mood or irritability, general malaise, cognitive impairment, social and vocational impairment and poor quality of life – Children - poor school performance, impaired attention and behavioral disturbance
ability to sleep during preferred phase
– Establish Sleep as a priority (time limited) – Regular bed & wake times – Regulate napping – Eliminate or regulate caffeine habit – Eliminate stimulating behavior before bedtime – No electronic media use within a half hour of bedtime
– Quiet time & close time – Establish an early evening worry time
– Optimal sleep duration by age
6-8:10.5-11h; 9-11: 10-11h; 12-14 9.5-10.5h; 15-18: 8.5-10h.
– Optimal sleep schedule by age
6-8:7:30-8:30; 9-11: 8:00-9:30; 12-14 9:00-10:30; 15- 18: 10:00-11:30.
– Two process model of sleep – Regulation of napping – Sleep continuity

Stimulus Control
with frustration/activation
– Thoughtful planning – Analysis of cues (extrinsic – clock, bed, light) – Analysis of cues (intrinsic – Anxiety, rumination, faulty assumptions)
misperception)
Cognition
– Address sleep-related misconceptions, predictions, and myths – Tools to decrease cognitive arousal
topping thoughts)
not true then? Turn it around. Who would you be without that thought)
– PASS (Positive Affect Stimulation Sustainment) or Savouring (McMack, 2015; Harvey,
AG
Sleep Restriction –Limit TST to weekly average –Setting a fixed sleep window
Relaxation Therapy
– Tools to decrease physiological and cognitive activation
–Active and passive
–Investigate different channels
(yoga, Tai Chi, Karate, running, meditation prayer)
A shift of the sleep phase to a later period that conflicts with academic and work schedules & social norms
affects 7% of adolescents
“make up” for weekday sleep loss
lag” Adjustment takes 1 day/time zone
crossed Effects persist up to 3 days Associated with daytime sleepiness, poor academic performance, depressed mood
