### == Consciousness and Sensory Awareness ==
|
|
|
|
- Sights, sounds, smells (rain, teacher's voice, pizza in the cafe, etc)
|
|
- Selective attention - focusing on particular stimulus and blocking out any distractions
|
|
- Unusual stimuli ('99), intense stimuli (yellow shirt)
|
|
|
|
### == Direct Inner Awareness ==
|
|
|
|
- Poolside, lakeside, oceanside - we are conscious of water before going in
|
|
- Aware of emotions such as anger, of memories of friends, of abstract concepts such as fairness, justice, love, etc
|
|
|
|
### == Sense of Self ==
|
|
|
|
- As we grow older, we are aware that we are unique individuals, separate from other people and surroundings
|
|
- "Maevie likes playgrounds" - 3rd person
|
|
|
|
### == Levels of Consciousness ==
|
|
|
|
- Preconscious - What did you wear yesterday? Ideas are not in your awareness now, but you could recall them if you had to
|
|
- You can direct your inner awareness or attention to them
|
|
|
|
### == Unconscious Level ==
|
|
|
|
- Information stored in unconscious/subconscious is unavailable to awareness under most circumstances
|
|
- Freud
|
|
- Defense mechanisms - we use these mental strategies to push painful memories out of our consciousness. This protects us from feelings of guilt, anxiety, and shame
|
|
|
|
### == Nonconscious Level ==
|
|
|
|
- Basic biological functions:
|
|
- Fingernails growing
|
|
- Eyes adjusting to light
|
|
- Blinking
|
|
- Breathing/Exchanging CO2 w/ O2
|
|
|
|
### == Altered States of Consciousness ==
|
|
|
|
Sense of self or sense of the world changes
|
|
Sleeping
|
|
Influence of drugs
|
|
Meditation
|
|
Hypnosis
|
|
|
|
### == Circadian Rhythms ==
|
|
|
|
Latin: "About/around a day"
|
|
Speaks to bodily changes throughout the day
|
|
Body temp - lowest at 3am-5am
|
|
Late afternoon (4-6) - HC practice - low energy in circadian rhythm
|
|
|
|
### == Stages of Sleep ==
|
|
|
|
EEG - bata waves (short and quick) when awake, alpha waves when drowsy are longer and slower
|
|
Stage 1: Light Sleep
|
|
Brain waves slow from alpha waves to theta waves, dreamlike images (powernap)
|
|
Stage 1 - lasts 30-40 minutes
|
|
Stage 2 - move into deep sleep
|
|
Stages 3-4 - Sleep is deep and the brain produces delta waves - the slowest of the 4 patterns
|
|
Stage 4 - greatest difficulty waking up in this stage
|
|
|
|
### == Levels of Sleep ==
|
|
|
|
Half an hour of Stage 4 sleep
|
|
We return to stages 3,2 and 1 (90:00)
|
|
Our heartbeat now rises + we go to REM sleep
|
|
|
|
### == REM (not the band) ==
|
|
|
|
Rapid eye movement - dream state
|
|
Go through 5 stages of REM sleep
|
|
Periods of REM get longer as night progresses
|
|
NREM - Non REM sleep
|
|
|
|
- 9-10:30 - NREM
|
|
- 10:30-10:50 - 1st REM
|
|
- 10:50-12:20 - NREM
|
|
- 12:20-12:40 - 2nd REM
|
|
- 12:40-2:10 - NREM
|
|
- 2:10-2:30 - 3rd REM
|
|
- 2:30-4:00 - NREM
|
|
- 4:00-4:20 - 4th REM
|
|
- 4:20-5:50 - NREM
|
|
- 5:50-6:10 - 5th REM
|
|
|
|
### == Consciousness - Sensory Awareness ==
|
|
|
|
### == Consciousness - Direct Inner Awareness ==
|
|
|
|
Poolside, lakeside, oceanside - we are conscious of water before going in
|
|
Aware of emotions such as anger, of memories of friends, of abstract concepts such as fairness, justice, love, etc
|
|
|
|
### == Why do we need sleep? ==
|
|
|
|
Physical - Helps to revive the tired body + build up resistance to infection. Keeps the mind sharp
|
|
Psychologically - It helps us to recover from stress, we need more sleep w/ more stressors
|
|
|
|
### == Gardner Experiment ==
|
|
|
|
Randy Gardner - stayed awake 11 days
|
|
Became irritable, could not focus eyes, memory, lapses, & speech difficulties
|
|
Film - discusses image of a frog boiling as compared to chronic insomnia
|
|
|
|
### == Dreams ==
|
|
|
|
It is during REM sleep that we have the most vivid dreams
|
|
Can be black and white or color
|
|
REM dreams - clear images and plots that make sense
|
|
NREM dreams - plots are vaguer and images more fleeting
|
|
|
|
### == Freudian View on Dreams ==
|
|
|
|
Freud - dreams reveal what you really want
|
|
Reveal one's unconscious wishes, fears, and urges
|
|
Some unconscious wishes are unacceptable, perhaps even painful
|
|
Those most likely would appear in dreams, sometimes as symbols
|
|
|
|
### == Biophyschological Approach - Non Freudian ==
|
|
|
|
During sleep - neurons fire in the brain that controls movement and vision
|
|
These neuron bursts are random and the brain tries to make sense of them
|
|
It does so by weaving a story - the dream
|
|
|
|
### == Sleep Apnea ==
|
|
|
|
Breathing interruption that occurs during sleep
|
|
Do not start breathing until they sit up and gasp for air
|
|
Do not wake up completely, not aware of what happened during the night
|
|
They often feel tired during the day
|
|
|
