Psychology rem test Crossword

Down:
1) A sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep,staying asleep, or experiencing restorative sleep,leading to daytime impairment such as fatigue,mood disturbances and decreasing cognitive function.2) substances that bind to neurotransmitter receptors without activating them blocking the effects of neurotransmitters.
3) A sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness,sudden episodes of muscle weakness (cataplexy) sleep paralysis, and hallucinations during sleep onset or awakening.
5) A sleep disorder commonly known as sleep walking,performing other activities while still asleep.
7) A temporary disruption of the body’s circadian rhythm due to rapid travel across multiple time zones,it can result in fatigue,sleep disturbances,and difficulty concentrating as the body adjusts to the new time zone.
11) medication that blocks the absorption of neurotransmitters by sending neurons,thereby increasing the concentration of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft and enhancing neurotransmission.
12) the natural internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours.it influences patterns of alertness,hormones releases,body temperature,and other physiological processes.
13) The phenomenon where the body increases the time spent in REM sleep after a period of REM deprivation.
16) The second stage of non-rapid movement sleep characterized by light sleep,lasting about 20 minutes.
Brain waves further slow down,and sleep spindles(short bursts of brain activities) and k-complexes(sudden sharp waveforms
17) A natural stimulant found in coffee tea and some sodas. It acts on the central nervous system,increasing alertness and reducing fatigue by blocking the neurotransmitters adenosine.
20) (rapid eye movement)sleep stage characterized by rapid eye movement, vivid dreams,and muscle paralysis.
It is associated with increased brain activity,including dreaming,and plays a role in memory consolidation and emotional processing.

Across:
4) the state of being awake and able to perceive one’s thoughts,feelings,sensations and surroundings. It involves various levels from alert wakefulness to altered consciousness to altered states such as sleep.
6) A theory proposing that dreams are the result of random neural activity in the brainstem during REM sleep, which is then interrupted and synthesized by the cerebral cortex into a narrative or story.
8) drugs that increase neural activity and arousal,leading to heightened alertness,attention energy levels.
9) the first stage of non-rapid eye movement sleep characterized by drifting in and out of sleep lasting a few minutes.
10) substances that alter brain function,leading to changes in the perception,mood consciousness.cognition,or system.
They act on the central nervous system and can be categorized into stimulants,depressants,hallucinogens
14) The deepest stage of non rapid eye movement sleep characterized by the presence of predominantly delta waves
Restoration of resources:The process during sleep where the body repairs tissue.
15) A sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breathing during sleep,leading to disrupted sleep patterns,daytime fatigue,and other health problems.
18) A theory suggesting that dreams play a role in the memory consolidation and processing of memories. During sleep, the brain organizes and integrates information acquired throughout the day, contributing memory storage and learning.
19) substances that bind to neurotransmitter receptors and mimic their effects,enhancing neural activity.
21) The phenomenon where the body increases the time spent in REM sleep after a period of REM deprivation.
22) a sleep disorder where individuals physically act out their dreams during REM sleep,potentially injuring themselves or others due to loss of muscle paralysis.
