Sleep/Wake

Sleep/insomnia A small number of brain cells are responsible for keeping us awake or asleep—some cells promote wakefulness and others promote sleep. Several areas in the brainstem and hypothalmus promote wakefulness by sending arousal signals to the cerebral cortex the brain’s largest region. Reticular Activating System Raphe Nuclei The raphe nuclei send projections to almost every area of the brain and the main neurotransmitter involved is serotonin. These nuclei are active during wakefulness, and the overall effect is to support wakefulness.

Light Affects The Pineal

An important projection from the raphe nuclei is the feedback loop between the raphe nuclei and superchiasmatic nuclei, an area where melatonin acts and contributes to circadian rhythms. The SCN will transmit back to the raphe nuclei and alter serotonin levels for sleep/wake cycles.

The master clock of the body that regulates our endogenous 24hour cycle is the SCN. – Highest density of melatonin receptors in brain. Our sleep/wake cycles are highly dependent on melatonin. – Melatonin is at peak levels during the night, and at low concentrations during the day. Night (High Melatonin): Feel Sleepy Daylight (Low Melatonin): Feel Alert Light→Retina →SCN → Spinal Cord → Superior Cervical Ganglia →Pineal Gland →Melatonin Release

Darkness → Pineal gland → Secrete melatonin → Acts on SCN → RAS diminishes activation of cortex → Sleep centers gain predominance When the sun arises, melatonin stops being secreted and the RAS gains the upper hand once again and awakens you.
