Sleep, Dreaming & Circadian Rhythms in Psychiatry | Sleep Architecture, REM vs NREM & EEG Basics

In this lecture, we discuss one of the most important topics in psychiatry—Sleep, Dreaming, and Circadian Rhythms. Learn the biological basis of sleep, the role of neurotransmitters in sleep and wakefulness, perceptual disengagement, sleep architecture across the lifespan, and the clinical significance of REM and NREM sleep. This session also covers high-yield examination concepts, including EEG changes during sleep, the stages of sleep, and age-related changes in sleep quality and quantity—topics that are frequently tested in psychiatry examinations.
