What does it mean for a child to be “incompletely awake,” as is seen in sleep arousal disorders?
What will be an ideal response?
During sleep, many brain regions are highly active, though others are actively inhibited. Disorders of arousal occur when the child transitions from slow-wave sleep to the beginning of the first REM episode of the night (which explains why it typically occurs 60–90 minutes after the start of sleep, that is, toward the end of the first sleep cycle). The child seems unresponsive to his or her surroundings, disoriented, with no memory of the event but there’s a high amount of motor or autonomic activity, like that seen in REM sleep. Twin studies and family studies have shown that children might inherit problems making a smooth transition from slow-wave to REM sleep. These disorders tend to be outgrown when their nervous systems mature.
