    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.
