Is it worth it to memorize sleep stage EEG's?

I can't imagine they would actually expect us to identify sleep cycles by EEG, but it's in first aid... Is this actually something worth memorizing?

Sure of course, if it's in FA, you should. It's not really hard to memorize, I would watch the old Kaplan Behavioral Science section, he does a pretty good job explaining it.

QUICK HITS:

What brain structure is responsible for the extra ocular movements that is associated with REM SLEEP? ANS: the reticular formation aka PPFR/paramedian pontine reticular formation!

Anticholinergics are one of the drug classes that may put you to sleep
