A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY • Greeks – Mother Night • Hypnos Thanos (Sleep) (Death) • Alcmaecon – Sleep is caused by blood filling the brain vessels. – Waking is caused by blood leaving the brain vessels. • Plato and Aristotle – Vapors from decomposing food ran to the brain and caused sleep.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY continued…. 18 th & 19 th Centuri es • Findings – Blood flowing to the head put pressure on the brain and caused sleep. – Falling asleep is a process imposed on a passive brain by the dark and quiet environment of the night time. • Richard Coton (1875) – Discovery of spontaneous electrical energy in the brains of animals

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY continued…. 20 th Century • Sigmund Freud (Uncle Siggy) – 1905 – The Interpretation of Dreams • Carl Jung - 1913 – Psychology of the Unconscious • Hans Burger – 1920’s & 1930 – Human person had spontaneous electrical energy that could be recorded from the scalp. (Electroencephalogram – EEG) • Nathaniel Klutman – First to devote his professional life to studying sleep – 1920 first sleep lab at University of Chicago – Wrote Sleep and Wakefulness • Nathaniel Klutman and William Dement – 1952 – The two men meet for the first time – Nathaniel Klutman mentors and teaches William Dement

William Dement, MD http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/William_Dement/ http://www.sleepquest.com/sq_dement.shtml http://www.stanford.edu/~dement/sleepless.html

Dement At Stanford • Narcolepsy • Sleep Apnea • Sleep was not always good – sign of depression • Founding of the journal SLEEP

Normal Sleep • fall asleep in 5-20 minutes. • 1-2 brief awakening per night depending on age. • should dream every night, but may not remember. • 85% - 95% of time in bed should be spent sleeping. • should wake up alert, energetic and restored after 7-8 hours of sleep.

Normal Sleep 3 Stages of Non REM sleep 1 Stage of REM sleep Stages • Stage 1 – Transition from wake to sleep 2-5% of the night • Stage 2 – 50% of the night • Stage 3 – 15-20% of the night – Deepest level of sleep REM Sleep • 15-20% • mostly late in the night • stage in which we dream

Going To Sleep Electrical Activity in a Brain The Promise of Sleep, pg. 19

Essential Features • Sleep erects a perceptual wall between the conscious mind and the outside world. • Sleep is immediately reversible. • Sleep is characterized by electrical charges in the brain.

Sleep Provides • Slow Wave Sleep – Restfulness • Rapid Eye Movement (REM ) – Defragging the brain – Dream • Jung – interpretations supposed based on universal archetypes – Actually based on Western European archetypes – Paralyzed so one cannot act out one’s dreams – Fights depression – Increases brain function • Clearer thinking • Ability to complete complex tasks

Hormone Function • Growth hormone is suppressed. • Melatonin – A hormone secreted by the pineal gland, a pea- size structure in the center of the brain. • At night melatonin is produced to help regulate our sleep/wake cycles • As we age, the production decreases.

Neurochemicals • Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) – Inhibitory neurotransmitter enhanced which quiets a person • Glutamate – Excitatory neurotransmitter is supressed • Adenosine – Signals suppression – Sleep hemostat

Snoring • May be a sign of sleep apnea • Use a relaxation exercise • Do not study, do heavy reading, watch stressful TV • Avoid bright light in PM • Get into bright light in AM as oon as possible!

Two Sleep Disorders To Be Aware Of 1. Sleep Apnea 2. Narcolepsy

Sleep Apnea • Central: Caused by neurological issues • Obstructive: Caused by blocked airway • Results – Daytime tiredness – Tachycardia (possibly leading to heart attack – Depression • Recognition – Greater than size 16 neck shirt – Snoring – Daytime fatigue – Jerking at night

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Causes • Daytime fatigue • Depression • Tachycardia (which may lead to a heart attack)

Narcolepsy Moving directly from AWAKE to REM SLEEP • Result – FALLING ASLEEP any time, any where • Recognition – Taking unwilling mini naps – Not remembering (similar to a blackout) • With Cataplexy – Puddling - losing muscle control

DSM IV-TR (Diagnostic Criteria 12 pages ) SLEEP DISORDERS • Primary – Dyssomnias • Primary Insomia • Primary Hypersomonia • Narcolepsy • Breathing Related Sleep Disorder • Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder • Dyssomnia NOS

DSM IV™ (Diagnostic Criteria 12 pages) SLEEP DISORDERS continued… – Parasomnias • Nightmare Disorder • Sleep Terror Disorder • Sleepwalking • Parsomnias MOS – Sleep Disorders relation to Other Mental Disorders • Insomnia Related to Axis I or Axis II • Hypersomnia Related to Axix 1 or Axis II – Other Sleep Disorders • Sleep disorders due to a general medical condition • Substance Induced Sleep Disorder

DSM 5 (Diagnostic Criteria 29 pages ) SLEEP – SLEEP WAKE 4 Divisions – 9 Divisions • DSM 5 – More detailed – Physiological/chemistry related • NB – Sleep Medicine will be a fellowship, not just a course for MDs.

DSM 5 (Diagnostic Criteria – 29 pages SLEEP DISORDERS continued… ) • Sleep Wake Disorders – Insomnia Disorder – Hypersomnolence Disorder – Narcolepsy • Breathing Related Sleep Disorders – Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea – Central Sleep Apnea – Sleep Related Hypoventilation – Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders

DSM 5 (Diagnostic Criteria – 29 pages SLEEP DISORDERS continued… ) • Parasomnias – Non Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Arousal Disorders – Nightmare Disorder – Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder – Restless Legs Syndrome – Substance/Medication • Other Specified Insomnia Disorder • Unspecified Insomnia Disorder • Other Specified Hypersomnolence Disorder • Unspecified Hypersomnolence Disorder • Other Specific Sleep-Wake Disorder • Unspecified Sleep Wake Disorder

Essential Sleep Hygiene • Do not work out just before bed time. • Go to bed when you are sleepy. • Keep naps to a minimum – 30 minutes before 2 pm MAX! • Keep bedtime snacks very light • Do not smoke at bed time. • Keep a regular sleep schedule. – Same time to retire – SAME TIME TO RISE! • If you are sleepy, go to bed earlier. • DO NOT SLEEP LATER!
