Social interactions profoundly influence animal development, physiology, and behavior. Yet, how sleep—a central behavioral and neurophysiological process—is modulated by social interactions is poorly understood. Here, we characterized sleep behavior and neurophysiology in freely moving and co-living mice under different social conditions. We utilized wireless neurophysiological devices to simultaneously record multiple individuals within a group for 24 h, alongside video acquisition. We… Continue reading Neurophysiological and behavioral synchronization in group-living and #sleeping mice

Association between #sleep hours and changes in #cognitive function according to the morningness-eveningness type: A population-based study
The aim of this study was to investigate proper sleep hours to reduce the risk of cognitive decrease considering morningness-eveningness type.MethodsThe Korean Community Health Survey was used, which includes adults aged over 19 years old. These data were obtained from a cross-sectional study and assessed sleep hours using questionnaire of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Based on the wake-up time… Continue reading Association between #sleep hours and changes in #cognitive function according to the morningness-eveningness type: A population-based study
Polygenic predisposition, #sleep duration, and #depression: evidence from a prospective population-based cohort
Suboptimal sleep durations and depression frequently cooccur. Short-sleep and long-sleep are commonly thought of as symptoms of depression, but a growing literature suggests that they may be prodromal. While each represents a process of mutual influence, the directionality between them remains unclear. Using polygenic scores (PGS), we investigate the prospective direction involved in suboptimal sleep… Continue reading Polygenic predisposition, #sleep duration, and #depression: evidence from a prospective population-based cohort
The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl dopamine is critical for #hyperalgesia induced by chronic #sleep disruption
Chronic pain is highly prevalent and is linked to a broad range of comorbidities, including sleep disorders. Epidemiological and clinical evidence suggests that chronic sleep disruption (CSD) leads to heightened pain sensitivity, referred to as CSD-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) has unique integrative functions in sensory processing,… Continue reading The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl dopamine is critical for #hyperalgesia induced by chronic #sleep disruption
#Sleeping Difficulties, #Sleep Duration, and Risk of #Hypertension in Women
Rates of poor sleep and hypertension are alarming worldwide. In this study, we investigate the association between sleeping difficulties and sleep duration with hypertension risk in women.METHODS:Sixty-six thousand one hundred twenty-two participants of the NHS2 (Nurses’ Health Study 2), who were free of hypertension at baseline (2001), were followed prospectively for 16 years and incident… Continue reading #Sleeping Difficulties, #Sleep Duration, and Risk of #Hypertension in Women
Hot Topics: Is sleep deprivation more dangerous than many people realise?
Although sleep is an essential and important part of human life, sleep loss has become a widespread problem in today’s fast-paced society. The modern way of life frequently extols efficiency and the capacity to function with little sleep, yet the negative effects of sleep deprivation are much more severe than most people think. Maintaining physical,… Continue reading Hot Topics: Is sleep deprivation more dangerous than many people realise?
The Importance of Consistent Sleep Habits in Slowing Down the Aging Process
Consistent Sleep Habits Shown to Slow Down Aging Process, Study Finds A recent study conducted by researchers at Augusta University in the United States has revealed the significant impact of maintaining consistent sleep habits on overall health and aging. The findings suggest that a regular sleep routine not only benefits cognitive processes such as thinking… Continue reading The Importance of Consistent Sleep Habits in Slowing Down the Aging Process
