15. Sleep at Night Sara Mednick UCSD Volunteers to play word games then nap subjects awoke at NREM REM and Rest (no sleep) REM sleep, had 40% improvement new gaming -REM sleep allows free association between ideas and memories (active time in brain) REM dreams?
16. In favor of Naps The restorative effects of naps on perceptual deterioration – Sara Mednick Subjects tested 4 times in a day instead of given a night to “slow learn” at night Deterioration decreased if nap given between 2nd and 3rd test
17. Those opposed…. Habitual nap takers do better with post nap Catherine E. Milner: with a nap Habitual Nappers = improved alertness, motor procedural learning NonHabitualNprs= improved alertness, procedural deterioration
21. Food choices to help the circadian rhythm Food stimulates gut hormones Mastication (jaw muscle) stimulates saliva Proper timing of gut hormone helps in satiety the remainder of the day into the evening Better sleep at night, more wakeful next day Less crash at post lunch trough
28. In Summary Save the “complex” tasks for 8am or 11am Eat a small snack at 1030-1100am Use the 5 senses to stimulate at 1-130pm Good night sleep before major deadline All else fails, load up on caffeine! (but ready the bladder and the benadryl)
