how can sleep laboratories analyse our sleep pattern and our dreams?

Question

I WANT TO KNOW HOW SLEEP LABORATORIES ANALYSE OUR SLEEPING PATTERNS AND OUR DREAMS.

Answer 1

By your brain waves and activity during sleep. They monitor your heart rate,oxygen levels in your blood, muscles and brain waves as well as your eye movement. Look up sleep clinics on Google and you can get a lot of information.

Answer 2

There are 5 stages of sleep.

1) SWS or NREM, transition state between sleep and wakefulness
2) SWS or NREM, peaks of brain waves become higher and higher (sleep spindles)
3) SWS or NREM, also called delta sleep or deep sleep
4) SWS or NREM, also called delta sleep or deep sleep
5) REM, beta waves have a high frequency and occur when the brain is quite active, both in REM sleep and while awake

They analyze how long you sleep, how many times you enter the different stages of sleep and for how long, etc. They do not analyze the dreams themselves. There is no way to tell what a person is dreaming, nor is there any scientific evidence that dreams have any meaning in the waking world.

Answer 3

Through brain wave activity, the mind never sleeps, it is always functioning. In sleep it goes through stages which is why we dream, to make sense of it all, otherwise we all go mad.

Answer 4

They use machines to analyse our brainwaves. Our gives off certain waves when at different situations, nightmare, dream(good), scary, happy, etc.
