Individuals whose sleep is restricted to 6 or fewer hours each
night for 1 week under experimental conditions had cognitive
impairments equal to that of _______ of total sleep loss, but they
often reported minimal sleepiness and overestimated their ability
to carry out simple tasks. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > One to two nights
The raphe serotonergic system in the rostral brainstem and the
locus- coeruleus-noradrenaline (norepineph rine) system have
been implicated in - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Generalized arousal
Brain activity and blood flow increases from the other type of
sleep, especially in parts of the cerebral cortex, midbrain, and
brainstem core during: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > REM
Various neurotransmitters such as glutamate, acetylcholine,
noradrenalin, serotonin, dopamine, histamine are involved in the
,2|Page
establishment and maintenance of - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Wake
behavior
Neurotransmitters and peptides including adenosine,
somatostatin, growth-hormone-releasing hormone, delta-sleep-
inducing peptide, prostaglandin D2, and cytokines have sleep-
promoting properties and seem to be responsible for the
biochemical control of - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > NREM Sleep
Habitual sleep of less than
6-7 hours each night is associated with - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
increased blood pressure, reduced blood levels of anabolic
hormones (e.g., growth hormone and prolactin) required for
tissue repair, increase in the stress hormone
cortisol during evening hours when cortisol is usually low
Brain activity and blood flow show a decrease from wakefulness,
especially in cerebral cortex during: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > NREM
Heart rate and blood pressure show decreases from
wakefulness during: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > NREM
Sympathetic nerve activity decreases from wakefulness during: -

Correct Answer > NREM
Respiration decreases from wakefulness and displays rhythmic
periodicity in breathing amplitude during: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >

Body temperature is regulated at a lower level from wakefulness
during: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > NREM
Swallowing and
gastrointestinal motility is _____ from wakefulness during both
NREM and REM sleep. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > NREM

pressure increases and highly variable
compared to the other type of sleep during: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >

Sympathetic nerve
activity _____ from both NREM and
REM in some body areas. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Increases

Muscle tone is absent during: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > REM
Respiration increases and varies from the other type of sleep,
may show brief stoppages and suppressed coughing during: -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > REM
Body temperature is not regulated and there is no shivering or
sweating during: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > REM
Arousal inducing areas of the brain - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
noradrenergic neurons of the locus coerulus (LC),
cholinergic neurons in the pedunculopontine and laterodorsal
tegmental (PPT/LDT) nuclei in the pons, serotoninergic
neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DR), dopaminergic neurons
of the ventral periaqueductal gray (vPAG), and
histaminergic neurons of the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN)
Sleep inducing areas in the brain - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > VLPO
neurons and those of the adjacent medial pre-optic area (area
not
depicted) contain inhibitory neurotransmitters GABA and galanin
and are active during sleep.
