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 ...

The average person spends around a third of their life sleeping. Yet as many as 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders and wakefulness, studies have found, and tossing and turning at ...

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 ...

Sneezing is a reflex that helps expel pollen, dust, and other irritants from your nasal passages. Your brain prevents reflexes in NREM sleep and muscle movements in REM sleep, so you can't sneeze.

An international collaboration of scientists has created the largest-ever public database of brain activity recordings and ...
