A thing that I found very intersting in this chapter was how a humans sleep stage works. I found this interseting because I always thought you would just fall asleep and wake up but I was very surprised that we sleep in stages. Their are 4 different stages of sleep, 1 being the closest to being a wake and 4 is a stage of deep sleep. In between these stages during the night you would have about 4 periods of REM sleep which is where you would be moving around, eyes moving back in forth while shut, your heart rate will increase and you could also sleep walk during this time. I just thought i learned a lot about this little section because i never new we had all these different stages of sleep and we did all of these different things like sleep walking when we don't even know we are doing this. This affects me in a big way because every person goes through this in his or her sleep and every person will have sleep walked in their life time at least once. I also know for a fact that this has already affected me because my mom has watched me sleep walk before.
Some ideas that I found very surprising in this chapter was REM sleep or sleep stages that I talked about up top but I also found a part on night terrors very surprising. The thing that I found surprising was when a person would have one of thses night terrors they would wake up and be breathing very hard and be sacred as if the night terror dream they were having has came true but when that person would fall back asleep and wake in the morning they would never even remember what happened that night. I find this kind of freaky because if I would see my brother freaking out like something bad is happening in real life after a dream I would be scared myself but when I would remind him in the morning about what had happened he would have no clue what I was talking about and I find that very weird and freaky.
About these things I learned about I agree 100% that these things can happen in sleep because I have had been sleep walking before during REM sleep. I also highly agree with night terrors because I have woke up before like something bad has happend but the only thing different about it is I would remember the dream. But I also would agree with people not remembering it because their will be many times I will know I had a dream the night before but not remember exactly what it was about.

Yes. I agree connor, sleep is not as simple as i once thought. Yet in life you will have that.
ReplyDeleteConnor, I have to agree, sleeping is way more complicated than we thought. Now that we know we don't have to wonder what is going on while we are sleeping. Night terrors do stink, they also help me remember my dreams.
ReplyDeleteAs Katie and Andy said I to would also have to agree that sleeping is way more difficult than what we thought.
