How We Sleep
Tracking # 20-1167178
Course overview
The regulation of sleep can be described by the two-process model of sleep. This model shows us that sleep is governed by two independent yet interrelated processes the homeostatic sleep drive and the circadian rhythm. Specifically these processes govern the timing of sleep the intensity of sleep and the duration of sleep. Various factors have an impact on sleep propensity such as sleep deprivation the time of day and our age. In this course we will explore how sleep is regulated and how we measure sleep and the related regulation processes. It is important to be aware of levels of 'sleepiness' as healthcare professionals as this may be the first step in promoting effective behavioural changes in ourselves as healthcare professionals as well as in our patients.
