CCSH EXAMINATION 2026 SET QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔When do we obtain the best sleep? - ✔✔When it is consolidated
✔✔Does the amount of sleep we need throughout the life cycle changes? - ✔✔Yes, it
does.
✔✔Infant sleep - ✔✔- Not born with same sleep functions as adults.
- Sleep stages are not fully developed.
- Quite sleep- NREM like
- Active Sleep- REM like
- Indeterminate sleep (mixed)
✔✔Infant 0-3 months - ✔✔-Trace alternant pattern of quite sleep (NREM)
-Continuous medium activity (active sleep and wakefulness)(REM)
- Intermediate sleep
- Sleep onset REM is common and may continue up to 6 months of age
- Sleep is approximately 50% quite sleep, 50% active
- Cycle between active and quite sleep about every 45-60 minutes.
Transitions may be difficult to identify.
✔✔What is the cycle of sleep in an infant 0-3 months? - ✔✔Sleep is approximately 50%
quite (NREM) and 50% Active (REM).
✔✔Infant 0-3m. what is the timing for the cycle between active (REM) and quite
(NREM) - ✔✔The cycle between active (REM) and quite (NREM) is about 45-60
minutes.
✔✔Infant 0-3,. Are the cycle changes easy to identify? - ✔✔Transitions between the
cycles can be difficult to identify.
✔✔Newborns need how many hours of sleep? - ✔✔Between 16-18 hours per day
✔✔What kind of sleep do newborns have? - ✔✔sleep is polyphasic
✔✔What is polyphasic sleep? - ✔✔polyphasic sleep refers to sleeping multiple times -
usually more than two
✔✔How many hours of sleep does a 16 wk old . 4 month old need? - ✔✔14-15 hours.
✔✔Infant sleep at 16 weeks - ✔✔sleep is reduced to 14-15 hours and levels off around
that value for the first year of life. Sleep becomes less distributed, with primary sleep at
night and naps during the day.
, ✔✔Infants 3-5 months. - ✔✔- Trace alternant waves are replaced by continous slow
waves (quite sleep).
- During this period, waveforms begin to look much more like they should.
- NREM (quite sleep): 60% of the night, REM (active sleep) is now 40% of the night.
✔✔Infants 6 months - ✔✔- NREM can typically be differentiated (stages 1,2 and slow
wave)
- REM should be recognizable
- NREM - 60% of the night.
- REM - 40% of the night.
By 12 months of age, REM sleep equals about 30% of total sleep time. The decrease in
REM slowly continues during childhood until REM % reaches the adult level.
✔✔12 months of age and REM sleep - ✔✔By 12 months of age, REM sleep equals
about 30% of total sleep time. The decrease in REM slowly continues during childhood
until REM % reaches the adult level.
✔✔Pediatric sleep - ✔✔Refers to early to middle childhood
✔✔During pediatric sleep (early to middle childhood) - ✔✔- slow, consistent change in
EEG patterns occur
- Sleep cycles about every 90 minutes by 5 years of age
- REM sleep is 20-25% of total sleep time by 3-5 yrs of age.
✔✔How much sleep does a 0-2 month old need? - ✔✔12-18 hours
✔✔How much sleep does a 3m- 1 yr old need? - ✔✔12-15 hours
✔✔How much sleep does a 1-3 yr old need? - ✔✔12-14 hours

✔✔how much sleep does a 12-18 year old need? - ✔✔8-10 hours
✔✔How much sleep do adults need? - ✔✔7-9 hours
✔✔What happens to sleep by age 10? - ✔✔Sleep becomes monophasic; duration of
about 10 hours.
✔✔What is monophasic sleep? - ✔✔One period of sleep
