Research suggests that both REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non-rapid eye movement) stages in the sleep cycle are ...

A restful night alternates in cycles between non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep states. The study from UNIL shows that a brain region called the "locus coeruleus" (in ...

While it's well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, remain largely unexplored. A new ...

Sleep hygiene refers to habits that support good-quality sleep. These include allowing enough time for sleep, keeping your ...

Have you ever jolted awake in the middle of the night, heart racing, drenched in sweat, with no memory of what happened?

Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep arousal disorders involve repeated episodes of incomplete awakening from sleep, most commonly sleepwalking or night terrors (also known as sleep terrors), but ...

A new study shows that even a moderate dose of caffeine alters brain activity during sleep, increasing complexity and nudging neural systems toward a high-efficiency processing state, especially in ...

A breakthrough in neural sensing technology has been achieved through collaboration between Professor Cai Xinxia's team from the National Key Laboratory of Sensor Technology at the Aerospace ...

Cannabinol (CBN), a component of cannabis, is being touted as a sleep aid. Researchers in Australia did a thorough study of CBN in rats and also discovered that a CBN metabolite that is less effective ...

The locus coeruleus is a region of the brain that is instrumental in coordinating our mental processing and is the primary source of noradrenaline in the brain, which acts to regulate arousal states ...
