Have a little read: ... Compare and contrast the two sleep disorders REM sleep behavioural disorder and sleep walking. Sleep is a state of natural rest in most vertebrates, characterized by a decreased reaction to external stimuli and a decrease in voluntary body movements. Sleep is necessary for survival. Sleep deprivation or disruption leads to impaired cognitive functioning and compromised physical, emotional and mental well-being. For decades it was thought that brain activity during sleep was reduced or absent. It was only in the 1950s and 60s that this assumption was abandoned when electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings revealed regular cyclic alterations of brain activity during sleep: the rapid-eye movement- (REM) and non-REM sleep phases. Since then, advances in neuroimaging methods enabled a much more precise investigation of sleep and its related disorders. This essay will start with describing normal sleep physiology since this is crucial for the understanding of sleep pathologies. A short overview is given
