Extended Sleep Maintains Endurance Performance Better than Normal or Restricted Sleep

Better than sleep: theta neurofeedback training accelerates memory consolidation.

Consistent empirical results showed that both night and day sleep enhanced memory consolidation. In this study we explore processes of consolidation of memory during awake hours. Since theta oscillations have been shown to play a central role in exchange of information, we hypothesized that elevated theta during awake hours will enhance memory consolidation. We used a neurofeedback protocol, to...

Sleep Questionnaire Versus Sleep Diary: Which Measure Is Better?

One questionnaire about a typical week’s sleep is more convenient than asking individuals to complete daily sleep diaries. Yet, most clinical evaluations and much sleep and insomnia research rely upon self monitoring via daily sleep diaries. These are often problematic to administer and can be reactive. Therefore, we investigated comparability of two measurement modalities (self monitoring and ...

Sleep fragmentation, sleep deprivation, or both.

I applaud the efforts of Schwartz and Moxley to explore ways to achieve greater understanding of the role of arousals in producing daytime impairment.1 This area of research has great clinical relevance, but has been largely neglected in recent years. Schwartz and Moxley distinguish short arousals (3-15 secs) from long arousals (15-60 secs) and wake events (>60 secs). They found that long arous...
