Question 2

Which of the following is true of circadian rhythms?

A) They begin to signal a shift towards sleep in a rhythmic way as the evening progresses from light to darkness
B) They shift during adolescence, with the typical adult circadian rhythm pattern shifting forward in time, thus the time for high alertness moves from 10 am for adults to 8 am for adolescents

Question 5

How does Slow Wave Sleep differ from Rapid Eye Movement Sleep?

A) Slow Wave Sleep involves a general slowing of brain activity while Rapid Eye Movement Sleep involves some deactivated brain regions combined with some highly active brain regions
B) Slow Wave Sleep involves some deactivated brain regions combined with some highly active brain regions while Rapid Eye Movement Sleep involves a general slowing of brain activity
C) Slow Wave Sleep involves a temporary paralysis of muscle movement called atonia while Rapid Eye Movement Sleep involves some spontaneous movement
