By the age of six months a circadian rhythm has become recognized. By the age of five, children have EEG patterns like those of adults but they are still sleeping more and having more REM activity (for brain development). During childhood, the need for sleep decreases, but in adolescence increases, to about 9/10 hours a night. Circadian rhythms change so that teenagers feel naturally awake later at night and have more difficulty getting up early. Adult sleep is typically about eight hours a night, with 25% REM sleep.
By the age of 5 children have an EEG pattern which is similar and looks like those of an adult but they are still sleeping more than adults with an approximate time of 12 hours in sleep and they also have more increase with approximately 30% of the total sleep time being in REM. At this stage, it appears that boys engage in more sleep than girls. This is the age where nREM sleepwalking often occurs but disappears in adulthood. During adolescence the need for sleep increases to 9-10 hours. Circadian rhythms change.
It can be thought of as the proverbial “chicken and egg”. Sleep and its association with many types of physiological healing processes, as well as mental states, is a causative relationship in both directions. Sleep is a requirement for healthy nervous system functioning, yet an impairment in neurological functioning or mental disorders can impair sleep. For example, clinical depression is one of the leading causes of insomnia along with anxiety disorders (Halcomb, 2006), but insomnia also leads to depression (Halcomb, 2007). Sleep is also the optimum time and physiological state for cell growth and repair (Harkreader, 2007), yet states of impaired skin integrity, muscle, nerve, or organ damage usually causes pain, which impairs sleep.
Other symptoms can include hallucinations and sleep paralysis - both experienced either when falling asleep or when waking up, and frequent waking up when asleep at night. There have been three explanations put forward for the explaining narcolepsy, in the 1960s it was considered that it occurred as a result of a malfunction in the systems which maintain REM sleep, Vogel (1960) found that REM sleep occurred at the onset of sleep in narcoleptics. This explained some of the symptoms of the disorder, such as the loss of muscle tone - found in REM sleep and the hallucinations - seen as REM-type sleep and dreams intruding into the day. A second explanation was in the 1980s research suggested that it was linked to a mutation of the immune system. Honda et al (1983) found an increased frequency of one type of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in patients.
So perhaps knowing why we have certain dreams will allow us to better understand why we have the dreams that we have. III. Despite Freud’s saying that dreams are the royal road to the unconscious, the use of dream analysis by therapists working with Borderline Personality Disorders and other severe psychiatric conditions has in the past two decades fallen into a state of decline, if not outright neglect. We must explore why this has happened because people are still having dreams. A.
The schizophrenia and what you should know her: for people who do not suffer from schizophrenia and little have dealt with this disease, it is useful to compare with dreams to convey an impression of the peculiarities of the schizophrenic experience. The same during sleep, during an acute schizophrenia beyond the borders of reality and opens a world of experiences in part phantasmagorical. Laws of logic and the usual rules of life lost to be effective and actually impossible becomes seemingly possible. This situation can be accompanied by very different feelings often also of anguish.
