What happens to your heartbeat when you are sleep?
During sleep, your heartbeat tends to slow down and become more regular. This is because the body enters a state of rest and relaxation, causing a decrease in overall physiological activity. However, certain sleep disorders or medical conditions can affect the heart rate during sleep, leading to variations in heartbeat patterns.
What causes a person to wake up in the night with a fast heartbeat?
Well most of the time when someone wakes up, it is during a dream. Dreams only occure in REM, or Rapid Eye Movement. During this time as the name says, your eyes are moving very rapidly. During REM our bodies have an elevated and irregular heart rate, and irregular breathing. If you wake up during REM the irregular breathing, and heart rate will be noticed. The fast hearbeat itself. Your body will notice something is wrong, and wake you up. If the something that is wrong just so happens to be your heart rate, then, well, that s what happens! P>Additional Info: This can happen for many reason, one of which is mentioned above. Another is waking during a nightmare that you don't remember, which happens more often than you would guess. That falling feeling, or spinning feeling that jolts you awake is one of those nightmares even though you may be just falling asleep. Pain, usually headahes, but not limited to them, can cause you to awaken with you heart beating fast, and sometimes you will also be sweaty if pain is the cause. Reflux will cause you to wake up with your heart pounding. If you wake before it gets bad and rushes up your throat, you won't even realize that you had it, unless you stay awake for a while and have another surge of it. Also, if you are taking any medications, many have this as a side effect, you should check the bottles, or the information you received from the pharamcy. Then there is the sleep disorders and heart conditions, these need to be checked by your Dr. Generally I would recommend that you see your Dr. concerning this if it happens often enough to worry you, or disturb your sleep patterns. It could be serious and anything that steals your sleep, or worries you is important and should be treated as such.</P>
How do you reduce the amount of sleep and yet stay active?
Meditation and exercise before going to sleep; but you should not cut back on sleep if you are tired during the day. You can cause yourself problems years later as your body works harder when it hasn't had enough rest. You can age very quickly!
You work nights and get 4 hours of sleep durning the day when is a good time to eat and what do you eat?
I suppose it would depend on what time you went to sleep, but I'm a doctor so I'd say one hour after you woke up, and deep greens for energy. Stay away from coffee, or any sugar. I'd say try to sleep more, and learn how to spell "during" right.
Why do some people die in their sleep?
When you go to sleep, the body shuts down, and if you are older, your body can't generate enough power to wake back up.When you try to wake up and you can't move or breath from your lungs and everything inside your body is shuts down and it is like you are smoking but it is not what you are doing your dieing that's what your doing.

Do the eye balls roll when asleep?

How much REM sleep do you get a night?
REM sleep usually occurs in cycles during the last 5-6 hours of an 8-hour night's sleep. So how much sleep we get in this stage will depend on how much sleep we get for the night. During REM sleep, eye movements increase, heart rate increases, and the normal body processes also increase. It's during this stage that dreams occur, and it's also this stage that we're most likely to wake up in the morning (feeling refreshed). These REM periods last approximately 20 minutes and can occur between 4 and 6 times per a good night sleep. Unlike the non-REM stages, our major muscle groups don't move, so we won't sleepwalk or "jar" ourselves awake during REM sleep. There are different types of sleeps associated with the sleep cycle. It is important to get a full cycle of REM sleep. REM sleep involves active dreaming. People sometimes have up to five cycles of REM nightly.
During REM sleep a person is dreaming?
True.
If muscles are in state of near-paralysis during REM sleep then how is sleepwalking possible?

What is the difference between NREM and REM?
The period of NREM sleep is made up of stages 1-4. Each stage can last from 5 to 15 minutes. A completed cycle of sleep consists of a progression from stages 1-4 before REM sleep is attained, then the cycle starts over again. During the deep stages of NREM sleep, the body repairs and regenerates tissues, builds bone and muscle, and appears to strengthen the immune system. As you get older, you sleep more lightly and get less deep sleep. Aging is also associated with shorter time spans of sleep, although studies show the amount of sleep needed doesn't appear to diminish with age. REM sleep occurs 90 minutes after sleep onset. The first period of REM typically lasts 10 minutes, with each recurring REM stage lengthening, and the final one may last up to an hour. Polysomnograms show brainwave patterns in REM to be similar to that recorded during wakefulness. In people without sleep disorders, heart rate and respiration speed up and become erratic during REM sleep. During this stage the eyes move rapidly in different directions. Intense dreaming occurs during REM sleep as a result of heightened brain activity, but paralysis occurs simultaneously in the major voluntary muscle groups. REM is a mixture of encephalic (brain) states of excitement and muscular immobility. For this reason, it is sometimes called paradoxical sleep. The percentage of REM sleep is highest during infancy and early childhood. During adolescence and young adulthood, the percentage of REM sleep declines. Infants can spend up to 50% of their sleep in the REM stage of sleep, whereas adults spend only about 20% in REM.
