Sleep and Circadian Rhythm
Sleep is an innate human need, which typically occurs for several hours at one time or more than one time during a circadian rhythm. Sleep varies from a few hours to over 8 hours, with babies and children requiring the most sleep. During sleep, the eyes close, muscles relax, nervous system reduces, and the body enters a different consciousness. Many health conditions and environmental factors can interrupt both sleep and awakening.

How many days can a human being live without sleep?
* It's not a matter of how long someone can live without sleep but a matter of how long can someone stay awake without passing out. Probably not more than two days.
* You can find normal people staying awake for three days. You can find exceptional people to stay awake for 30 days. Some extra exceptional people lie awake for more than 20 to 30 years.
* The current record is a bit over eighteen days, but this SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED.
You return to stage 3, then stage 2 (delta sleep) before going to REM sleep (stage 5).
A circadian rhythm is a cycle that?
That controls sleep and wakefulness. It is the body's natural clock. It is a biological rhythm or cycle of approximately 24 hours.

How did the circadian rhythm disorder get its name?
The term circadian comes from the Latin words circa which means "around" and dies which means "day". The term circadian rhythm refers to the biochemical processes of an organism that occur over the duration of 24 hours. A circadian rhythm disorder is any disruption in a person's circadian rhythm.
How does light affect circadian rhythm?
A neurological hormone gets released by the temperature change because of the light; causing the rhythm change.
How do you change your circadian rhythm?
How can a person change their Carcadian Rhythms if these rhythms are interfering with their 9a.m. to 5 p.m. work schedule? A very productive and highly intelligent family person I know comes to life and is most productive at 5 p.m. in the late afternoon/early evening on work days and this does not produce very long productive days at work, conflicts with the average schedule of an average famiily, and results in a lot of work from work being done at home in the late evenings and on weekends. Also, the amount of time devoted to work by this individual is clearly seen in a negative light by anyone, boss or colleagues, who may observe such a schedule and its repetitiveness. In essence, this person works extremely hard but always out of view of those who are evaluating him for performance reports. This has always been a problem, but in these unfortunate economic times, it can produce the result of losing his job if it does not change soon. HELP!!!
-> Hopefully this helps you above ^. The problem is work. Either have the family person teach his company about a Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) or find a workplace that has a ROWE. Your family person is being judged on everything outside of the actual WORK. Just because work is scheduled between 9-5, doesn't mean that your family person will be productive either. Good luck!
There are many sleep disorders. One is something called Non-24 and is seen mostly in blind people although sighted people also can have it.

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.
What is a good bedtime routine for a 3 year old?
Bedtime routines should start from infancy; it can be much harder to start later.
Having a warm bath helps relax. Then after drying and dressing, mom or dad can offer to read a book. Give the child a choice of 2 books. Or spend the time making up a special story for your child. Make sure your child's room has a night light. When the story is done, tuck in your child, give kisses, say goodnight, turn off the light, and leave. If your child gets up (water, hungry, too dark), carry them back to bed and say "bedtime" very softly. Next time, say nothing, carry back to bed and leave. You may need to repeat 10 to 30 times--say nothing, put child back in bed.
When tucking in my child after a story, to create a routine, I would say, "tuck in your toes! (tucking blankets) and pull the blanket all the way up to your nose!" The first 2 times, I would 'mess up' and cover her eyes too (deliberately)... so I had to "do it again" while she giggled, "Tuck in your toes--and pull the blanket allll the way up to your nose!" Then, I'd tell her I loved her and turn off the light and leave.
If you can find a balance between nice-fuzzy-good-feelings and relaxing-quiet actions, and do it the SAME way every night, you will soon have a good routine.
The circadian rhythm is influenced by light-sensitive retinal proteins that trigger signals to the?

Does "sleeping on it" improve decision making?
Although the science isn't completely conclusive, recent research suggests that sleep can, in fact, improve problem solving.
A 2018 study from the University of Bristol looked at a group's performance on mental tasks before and after taking a 90 minute nap. When compared with a group that stayed awake for the same amount of time, the nappers did markedly better on their repeated task, which indicated to the researchers that the brain did process some of that information as they slept.
Keep in mind, though, that with only 16 participants, more studies are needed to be able to confidently generalize these specific results. More broadly, sleep has been widely proven to help with memory, learning, and judgement, which will all come in handy the next time you have to make a difficult decision.Why do I wake up five minutes before my alarm clock goes off?
Your body is so skilled at regulating when you’re supposed to be awake that, if you follow a consistent schedule, it gets pretty good at beating your alarm and letting you wake up more gradually.
Certain stress hormones in your brain increase during the day and decrease at night. As the cruel alarm approaches, those hormones increase steadily from their nighttime levels to their daytime ones, waking you up slowly and naturally. If your alarm interrupts this process, the body learns to start increasing those hormones earlier so it doesn’t get jarred awake.
Waking up a few minutes before your alarm goes off typically means you’re getting a good amount of sleep, and your circadian rhythm is doing a good job.
How many hours of sleep do you get if you sleep at 6pm-6am?
ah, 12. try looking at a clock and countng it.

What regulates sensation of hunger and thirst as well as the body's 24-hour circadian rhythm is?
The answer is: hypothalamus. :)
Yes, lucid dreams—which, for the uninitiated, are dreams where you’re aware you’re sleeping and can often control aspects of your dream—are real. While people doubted their existence for years, a slew of research in the second half of the last century put those doubts to sleep.
The way researchers proved it is pretty cool. They taught test subjects methods to induce lucid dreams (there are plenty out there, if you’re interested), then hooked them to polygraph machines as they slept. The subjects had agreed to perform specific actions in their dreams when they achieved lucidity—actions that’d show up on a polygraph test, like patterns of eye movements or fist clenches; lo and behold, the subjects fell asleep, then gave the signals.
For most, lucid dreams are happy accidents, but some suggest pursuing the ability to reliably lucid dream can help avert nightmares, alleviate anxiety, and even aid in physical rehabilitation.
How long can a depressed person sleep?
Anywhere from days at a time to none at all depending on the depression.
