("Interpretation of dreams‚ Sigmund Freud"). But‚ in reality‚ what exactly are dreams? Where did they come from? How and why do they exist? And what are the factors that affect them? Actually‚ dreams are only the product of the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep ("Brain Basics: Understanding Sleep"). And this phase of sleep because the brain needs to supply much-needed oxygen to the cornea of the eye ("The biology of dreaming"). And that the reason why dream content often seems disoriented or

theory is called the restorative theories. In mammals and birds‚ there are two broad types of sleep: Rapid eye movement (REM) and Non-rapid eye movement (NREM or Non-REM). There are differences in physiological and neurological features between two types. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a normal stage of sleep characterized by the rapid and random movement of the eyes. REM sleep normally occurs close to morning. It is considered the lightest stage of sleep due to the activity of the brain’s neurons

Late Effects of Radiation: When response is not observed for many months or years after exposure. Effects of fetal irradiation: Death‚ malformation‚ malignancy‚ diminished growth.

Robert Moses In the late 1930s a municipal controversy raged over whether an additional vehicular link between Brooklyn and lower Manhattan would be a bridge or a tunnel. Bridges can be wider and cheaper but tall ones use more ramp space at landfall than tunnels. A "Brooklyn Battery Bridge" would have destroyed Battery Park and physically encroached on the financial district. The bridge was opposed by the Regional Plan Association‚ historical preservationists‚ Wall Street financial interests and

Stages of Sleep The EEG (Electroencephalogram)of a waking person is clearly different than that of a sleeping person. The difference in EEG patterns that occur during sleep has made it possible to divide sleep into five different stages. Stage One We experience stage one of sleep when we are half asleep and half awake; our eyelids feel heavy‚ we feel groggy and suddenly without notice we fall asleep. Stage one counts for more or less 5% our total sleep during the night. Stage

understand some of the reasons for sleep. But they do not understand everything about it. There are two kinds of sleep in mammals and birds. One kind of sleep is Rapid Eye Movement sleep‚ which we call REM sleep. The other kind of sleep is Non–Rapid Eye Movement sleep‚ which we call NREM or non–REM sleep. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine divides NREM sleep into three stages: N1‚ N2‚ and N3 sleep. When people first go to sleep‚ they are in NREM sleep. The first stage of NREM sleep is N1 sleep

most people experience 5-6 cycles a night. Stages one to four are slow wave sleep (SWS) and stage five is rapid eye movement sleep (REM). * Brain is active during sleep and this activity can be measured (EEG). Different stages of sleep show different patterns alpha‚ delta and theta waves. * One cycle takes about 90 minutes; later in the night there is more REM sleep and less SWS. Stages of sleep STAGE ONE: Beginning of the sleep cycle. Alpha waves disappear and are replaced by low-voltage

There are four stages of Non-REM sleep. In the first stage‚ you can be awakened without difficulty but it may leave the person feeling as if he or she has not slept. In the second stage‚ the body temperature and heart rate drop. At this point‚ your body gets ready to enter deep sleep. The last two stages are deep sleep stages‚ with the fourth being more intense.
