Their latest findings help "explain more clearly how and why both wake and sleep are necessary to stabilize connection strengths in the brain on multi-day time scales and longer" and provide new support to the function and importance of sleep....
Sleep is a complex and dynamic process that affects how you function in ways scientists are now beginning to understand. This booklet describes how your need for sleep is regulated and what happens in the brain during sleep. 睡眠健康:为什么要1/3的时间的睡觉,睡眠很重要。什么是睡眠:睡眠是指意识...
In terms of how a lack of sleep impacts brain function, the most prominent working theory is that when we are sleep deprived, it reduces the ability of neurons — the cells that make up our brain — to communicate with each other. That means our brains do not function as ef...
Sleep is Crucial for Cognitive Functioning and Memory Consolidation:The brain undergoes a series of important processes during sleep, including memory consolidation, problem-solving, and creativity. Adequate sleep ensures that the brain can function optimally, leading to improved cognitive performance and s...

Study Objectives: Sleep deprivation and circadian disruptions impair brain function and cognitive performance, but few studies have examined the effect of sleep inconsistency. Here, we investigated how inconsistent sleep duration and sleep timing between weekends (WE) and weekdays (WD) correlated with ...
In information theory, entropy quantifies the diversity or unpredictability of information content13. Using the entropy of different aspects of brain function to estimate the diversity of information, various studies have shown reduced entropy when consciousness fades, such as during sleep or anaesthesia...
As well as the role t plays in brain development sleep also plays an importantrole in their brain's day-to-day ability to function. Lack of sleep makes t much harder for them to concentrate, and theybecome forgetful and easy to get angry or make mistakes.In addition, scientific evidence ...

Many processes in the human body — including brain function — are regulated over the 24-hour cycle, and there are strong associations between disrupted circadian rhythms (for example, sleep–wake cycles) and disorders of the CNS. Brain disorders such as autism, depression and Parkinson disease ...
