SLEEP

What is Sleep ? Sleep is a state when person is not

aware of surrounding. Sleep is active process. It consist of two processes.

1. Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) or slow wave sleep

2. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) or paradoxical sleep

What is Consciousness?

It is awareness of external world or surrounding.

Level of Consciousness (states in decreasing order)

Maximum alertness Wakefulness Sleep Coma

Page 4: SLEEP AND EEG

Level of Consciousness

Maximum alertness It depends on high activity level of

central nervous system, reticular activating system (RAS).

Wakefulness Awake person is aware of

surrounding.

Page 5: SLEEP AND EEG

Level of ConsciousnessSleep Sleep is an active process, brain overall activity is

not reduced. Sleeping people are not consciously aware of

surrounding, but they have inward conscious experience e.g. dreams.

They can be aroused by external stimuli e.g. alarm.

Coma It is total unresponsiveness of a living person to

external stimuli due to brain damage that interferes with RAS or severe depression of cerebral cortex.

RETICULAR FORMATION

What is Reticular Formation?

It is network of interconnected neurons, which run through the entire brain-stem and into the thalamus.

Reticular formation receives all incoming sensory input.

Page 7: SLEEP AND EEG

7

RETICULAR FORMATION [cont] Ascending fibers originating from

reticular formation carry signals upwards to arouse and activate the cerebral cortex. These fibers are called Reticular Activating System.

RETICULAR FORMATION

RAS controls the cortical alertness. Fibers descending from cortex

especially motor cortex can activate RAS.

Centers that govern sleep are within the brain-stem, but recent evidence suggest that the center for slow sleep (NREM) lie in the hypothalamus.

SLEEP Two types of Sleep i). NREM Sleep or slow wave sleep ii). REM sleep or paradoxical sleep

We spend 80% time in NREM sleep and 20% time in REM sleep.

They are characterized by different EEG patterns and different behavior.

We will discuss each one.

i). NREM Sleep or slow wave sleep Slow wave sleep has four stages.During these stages ( I- IV) there is

progressive slowing of EEG waves and EEG waves become high amplitude, hence it is called Slow wave sleep.

NREM Stages are called: Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV

Page 12: SLEEP AND EEG

12

NREM Sleep or slow wave sleepStage I At one set of sleep, Stage I is referred

as drowsiness or pre-stage of sleep.

Stage II Light sleep.

Stage III and IV Deep sleep

Page 13: SLEEP AND EEG

13

NREM Sleep or slow wave sleep At one set of sleep, we move from light

sleep of Stage I to deep sleep of Stage IV during a period of 60-70mins .

After Stage I to IV of NREM sleep, we get 10-20 mins episode of REM or paradoxical sleep.

Then we reverse to NREM – REM cycle again.

Page 14: SLEEP AND EEG

14

NREM Sleep or slow wave sleep A person has 5-6 cycles of sleep i.e. NREM-

REM, again NREM-REM throughout the night.

Time for each stage of sleep during one cycle: Stage I – 3-5% [5-10mins] Stage II – 50-60% [30-40mins] Stage III & IV – 10-20% [10-20mins] REM sleep – 10-20% [10-20mins]

Note – Time for REM sleep increases during each cycle.

REM SLEEP

During REM sleep, rapid eye movement occur.

Muscle tone throughout body is decreased

EEG pattern during REM cycle abruptly gets similar to that of wake, alert person, although person is in sleep, therefore, it is called paradoxical sleep (person sleeping but EEG pattern is like awake person).

SLEEP

Infants spend more time in REM sleep. New born sleeps about 16-20 hrs/day.

In children, NREM and REM become 50%

each. During childhood, child sleeps 10-15

hrs/day.

Page 19: SLEEP AND EEG

SLEEP

Adult person needs 6-9 hours of sleep. He spends 80% time in NREM sleep and 20% in REM sleep

In elderly NREM Stage IV (deep sleep) and REM sleep decreases. Old person sleeps 5-6 hrs

Electroencephalogram

What is EEG? EEG is the record of electrical

activity of brain (superficial layer i.e. the dendrites of pyramidal cells) by placing the electrodes on the scalp.

We record EEG with electrodes over the scalp.

We record different types of waves during different stages of sleep.

Electroencephalogram

German physiologist and psychiatrist Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924.

It is one of the most remarkable development in the history of clinical neurology

EEG Waves recorded are

Alpha wave -- 8 – 13 Hz. Beta wave -- >13 Hz. (14 – 30 Hz.) Theta wave -- 4 – 7.5 Hz. Delta waves – 1 – 3.5 Hz.

Alpha wave

rhythmic, 8-13 Hz mostly on occipital lobe 20-200 μ V normal, relaxed awake rhythm with eyes

closed

Page 27: SLEEP AND EEG

Beta wave

irregular, 14-30 Hz mostly on temporal and frontal lobe Recorded during mental activity,

awake person (eyes open). excitement

Page 28: SLEEP AND EEG

Theta wave

rhythmic, 4-7 Hz Stage II and Stage III sleep

Page 29: SLEEP AND EEG

Delta wave

slow, < 3.5 Hz Stage III, IV sleep

EEG WAVES DURING DIFFERENT STAGES OF SLEEP NREM SLEEPStage I – high frequency EEG activity alpha,

replaced by slower wavesStage II – slow waves theta (θ) Stage III - Theta (θ) - Delta(δ) wavesStage IV – Delta(δ) waves

REM Rapid low voltage, EEG activity like stage I of NREM. Eye movements are recorded. Person is in deep sleep, difficult to wake.

Page 31: SLEEP AND EEG

BEHAVIORAL PATTERN DURING SLEEP Night mares occur in stage III and IV.

People especially children walk and talk during stage III and IV.

Dream occur during REM sleep.

Brain imaging during REM sleep shows increase activity in visual area and limbic system and decreased activity in Prefrontal area reflecting dreams are related to emotional memory bank but not to thinking.

SLEEP WAKE CYCLE Sleep wake cycle is controlled by three neural

system.1. Arousal system – regulated by group of neuron

in hypothalamus and involves reticular activating system (RAS) originating in brain-stem.

2. Slow wave sleep center (NREM) – In the hypothalamus, it has neurons that induce sleep.

3. REM sleep center in the brain-stem – it has neurons which become active during REM sleep

Page 34: SLEEP AND EEG

FUNCTIONS OF SLEEP

What is Function of Sleep? It is not clear. We spend 1/3 of our life

sleeping. During Sleep brain cells are not resting, but

there is change in the activity.

Page 35: SLEEP AND EEG

35

What is the purpose of NREM and REM sleep?

Theories are 1. During metabolic activity of neuron and

glial cells, Adenosine is produced from the ATP during awake state (increased adenosine when we are awake more).

Adenosine inhibits arousal center, this can bring NREM sleep (injection of adenosine induces normal sleep).

Page 36: SLEEP AND EEG

36

What is the purpose of NREM and REM sleep? [cont] During sleep , Adenosine level

decreases as brain uses this adenosine for replenishing its limited energy stores.

Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, therefore causes wakefulness.

Page 37: SLEEP AND EEG

37

What is the purpose of NREM and REM sleep? [cont]

2. Restoration and recovery proposal During awake, brain neuron release

neurotransmitter Norepinephrine and Serotonin.

But during REM sleep, these neurotransmitters are not released, therefore, it restores receptor sensitivity.

Page 38: SLEEP AND EEG

38

What is the purpose of NREM and REM sleep? [cont]

3. Sleep is necessary for learning and memory

This may explain Why infants need so much sleep.

SLEEP DISORDERS Insomnia - Insomnia is difficulty in getting sleep - 10-15% of population suffer from insomnia - cause of Insomnia- may be anxiety, too much

coffee, tea, soft drink, stimulants, drugs , travelling . Narcolepsy Rare disorder affects 0.5% population. Person suddenly falls asleep at odd moments. May occur frequently throughout the day.

Sleep Apnea syndrome - person not breathing for a while, snoring , obesity, little sleep.

USE OF EEG

EEG is useful in diagnosis of 1. Epilepsy 2. Sleep Disorders 3. Brain death [used in some

centers]

POLYSOMNOGRAPHY

Polysomnography is a series of tests performed on a patient with sleep disorders e.g. sleep apnea, narcolepsy

It is over night procedure and includes monitoring of ECG, blood pressure, air flow, blood oxygen level, EEG, eye movements, and movements of respiratory muscle and limbs
