Sleep supports cognitive functions like learning, memory consolidation, and brain development. (7,26,27) Petkus says we can “Think of sleep as our brain’s overnight cleaning crew. While we’re out for the count, our brain sorts through all the information from our day and makes sense of...
congruent evidence from event-related potentials (ERPs)1,2,3and intracranial recordings4,5has shown that at least low-level sensory processing is preserved across sleep stages. Further studies indicated that sleepers can even process symbolic stimuli at different cognitive levels of representation...

D. Sleep deprivation improves cognitive development by activating serotonin receptors. Paragraph 4: The circadian rhythm theory of sleep proposes that sleep has evolved to keep animals quiet and inactive during times of the day when there is greatest danger, which for most is when it is dark. Ph...
Sleep is widely regarded as critical to the efficient function of a number of cognitive operations1, particularly learning and memory2. Given that a large number of adults are obtaining inadequate sleep3, there is a growing need to accurately characterise the detrimental effects of sleep loss on ...
Behavioral psychologists point to maladaptive behaviors that reinforce sleep anxiety, such as excessive napping or irregular sleep schedules. These behaviors can alter one's sleep architecture, leading to fragmented and non-restorative sleep. The theory of cognitive dissonance, where there is a conflict...
Restorative sleep is a combination of deep and REM sleep, so I was particularly interested in monitoring those two stages since they're critical for physical recovery and cognitive function. Whoop told me to practice mindful breathing to destress. ...

Thus, highly selective memory processes are active during human sleep, with intertwined episodes of facilitative and suppressive plasticity.Similar content being viewed by others Auditory stimulation during REM sleep modulates REM electrophysiology and cognitive performance Article Open access 16 February ...
Consequently we also assumed to find increased low and reduced high frequency EEG activity during the nap following the music condition. In order to test possible consequences of altered sleep on cognitive performance, we additionally introduced memory tests before and after the nap. Results...
