10. What is sleep?
Sleep is a periodic, natural loss of consciousness—as distinct from
unconsciousness resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or
hibernation.
11. How do our biological rhythms influence our daily functioning?
In the morning, our body temp rises, without this, we would be
uncomfortably cold. We sleep in the night and are awake in the day
(usually), without this, we could possibly fall off a cliff (back in the old
days) because we can’t see in the dark.
12. How does sleep loss affect us, and what are the major sleep
disorders?
Sleep loss affects us in many different aspects. Some of which can
cause the ability to no longer make memories, be fatigued and more.
Sleep disorder include insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, sleepwalking
and sleeptalking, and night terrors.
13. What do we dream, and what functions have theorists proposed for
dreams?
Usually our dreams have to deal with being attacked, pursued, rejected,
or experiencing misfortune. Theorists propose that the purpose for
dreams is to satisfy our wishes, to file away memories, to make sense
of neural static, or to reflect cognitive development.
