Physiology of Sleep
IN BRIEF Far from a simple absence of wakefulness, sleep is an active, regulated, and metabolically distinct state, essential for health and well-being. In this article, the authors review the fundamental anatomy and physiology of sleep and its regulation, with an eye toward interactions between sleep and metabolism.

which the brain is less responsive to external stimuli. We are functionally blind during sleep with no response to visual stimuli and a decreased threshold of response to auditory stimuli. Babies have been exposed to sound of up to 100 dB, which is above the legal limit for ear protection for employees, without waking up. In adults, the process is selective demonstrating continuing cortical fun...
متن کاملRespiratory Physiology During Sleep
Ventilatory regulation is conceptually best understood as a 3-part system consisting of a central controller, sensors, and effectors. The effectors of respiration include the respiratory motoneurons and muscles, which are involved in inspiration and expiration. Positional changes during sleep (ie, nonupright position) affect the mechanics of breathing significantly. Both hypoxemia and hypercapn...
متن کاملCardiovascular physiology and sleep.
Sleep is a natural periodic suspension of consciousness during which processes of rest and restoration occur. The cognitive, reparative and regenerative accompaniments of sleep appear to be essential for maintenance of health and homeostasis. This brief overview will examine the cardiovascular responses to normal and disordered sleep, and their physiologic and pathologic implications. In the pa...
متن کاملSleep physiology and sleep disorders in childhood
Sleep has long been considered as a passive phenomenon, but it is now clear that it is a period of intense brain activity involving higher cortical functions. Overall, sleep affects every aspect of a child's development, particularly higher cognitive functions. Sleep concerns are ranked as the fifth leading concern of parents. Close to one third of all children suffer from sleep disorders, the ...
