Sleep Architecture

John tries to understand disorders by doing continuous research and then explain to patients

Different "stages" of the Sleep Architecture

Stage 1: easily disrupted by noises/lights/etc.

light stages of sleep - you want that to be short.

Younger people: typical female in their 30's don't allow themselves to relax.

Sleep disruption is very common - they stay in stage 1

what could help: white noise machines

Stage 2: Deeper sleep but still not in restorative sleep (10-25 minutes 45-55% of total sleep time)

Stage 3: Restorative - slow waves - refreshing (3-8%)

Stage 4: Highest arousal sleep - cannot wake them up.

REM-Sleep (75-80% of sleep is NOT in REM sleep)

REM/Dreaming sleep happens about every 90 minutes

decreases as we age

People get scared about going to sleep

this can cause anxiety
