Write an APA-style paper about sleep and sleep disorders. You will include the stages of sleep, how people cycle through those NREM sleep and REM sleep stages each night, and biological and pharmaceutical means commonly used to treat sleep deprivation. Finally, you will identify a common sleep disorder and discuss the biological basis of the disorder as well as how it is treated.
Select a sleep disorder, other than insomnia, and research its neurologic basis and common treatments. Properly cite all of the sources used in the preparation of your Assignment.
In a 4- to 5-page APA-style paper, address the following:
Define the stages of NREM sleep and describe how clinicians identify its different stages.
Define and describe REM sleep and explain how it differs from NREM sleep.
Provide an overview of how a person cycles through the stages during the course of a night’s sleep.
Describe at least one effect of sleep deprivation on the body and on the brain.
Then, explain what is meant by sleep hygiene and whether it is effective. Describe how sleeping pills interact with the brain regions that promote sleep and wakefulness you described in the Discussion.
Identify the sleep disorder you selected and describe its neurologic basis. Describe common treatments for the disorder, including how the treatments work and their efficacy.
