What happens to the medulla oblongata during sleep?

During sleep, the medulla oblongata controls sleep and arousal monitoring sensors to the cortex and other parts of the body. There are cholinergic neurons in the medulla oblongata that remain active during REM sleep. When a person experiences sleep walking, these neurons become inactive which causes a person to sleep while in action.


What are some jobs the body does while you are at sleep?

Breathing for respiration, palpitation of heart for blood circulation, digestion by elementary canal and essential neurological activities are some of the autonomous jobs our body is doing when we are at sleep. Our sub-conscious brain also remain awake during this phase. Some work to store memory in the brain is also done when we are at sleep.


What role does sleep play in memory consolidation?

How many days can you go without sleep?

Though it is possible to die from this, it is highly unlikely that anybody's body will allow them to get to that point. It varies from one person to the next, but the average human will/can experience fatigue, nausea, restlessness, and lightheadedness after 48 hours of no sleep. By the 72 hour mark, those symptoms can build up to audial, visual, and other basic sensory hallucinations. Though after roughly 96 hours of uninterrupted conciousness, the body will usually shut itself down, as a defense mechanism, or will begin to experience bouts of unconciousness. Whereas most people will fall asleep and stay asleep after 96 hours of no sleep, some people may fall asleep for a matter of moments and do this off and on until the body is recharged enough to stay awake for more than 5 minutes or so. The heart, brain, and lungs all are run by the medula oblongata, and without sleep, this part of the brain will "reset" the whole body to assess how much actual recooperative sleep is needed to maintain involuntary funtions.you have to sleep because lay in your bed and try to stay up you will go to sleep humans have to sleep
