This article reviews how functional disturbances of the sleeping–waking brain are involved in pathogenesis of the widespread pain, unrefreshing sleep, fatigue, and impaired quality of life of patients who have fibromyalgia syndrome. Recent studies of the effects on EEG sleep by some specific ...

Although they were developed thousands of years later, modern theories of the neurophysiological effects of sleep on the brain are surprisingly consistent with Aristotle's view of the active role of sleep. Aprominent current theory(as portrayed in the Disney-Pixar film Inside Out) is thatsleepenabl...
Prone sleeping is used in preterm infants undergoing intensive care to improve respiratory function, but evidence suggests that this position may compromise autonomic cardiovascular control. To test this hypothesis, this study assessed the effects of the
Although there appeared to be a fairly consistent trend towards BP effects favouring HUTS in the diverse OH populations, most results did not reach significance, possibly due to the small sample sizes. The impact of HUTS on OH was more pronounced for those OH cases subjected to higher vs. ...
A sleeping pill can help your sleep problems for the short term. But it's important to know how to use them, the side effects, and how to avoid misusing them. It's best to use sleeping pills for short-term relief of sleeplessness. Using them for too long can create dependence and ot...
For those reasons, some sleep disorder experts say, it may be time we learned to fall asleep on our own. Effects on the brain Sleep is a complex physiological process connected to such environmental factors as light and temperature. As night falls and temperatures drop, chemicals in the brain...
You should always work with a doctor if you plan to use sleeping pills, including over-the-countermedicationsand supplements.That’s because all sleeping pills, even the ones available on the shelves at your local pharmacy, can cause side effects and may even interfere with other medications. ...
We conducted repeated measures ANOVA to compare the effect of stimulus exposure on the Zenk response in the left and right hemisphere per brain region. We further analysed the brain regions separately using repeated measures ANOVA. To test for lateralisation effects between the learning proficiency ...
Furthermore, unbridled stress ages us faster, so anything that lowers stress can slow the effects of aging both in how we look and in how we think and function. According toNeuropsychologist David Weeks, who studied the impact of couple sleeping patterns on aging, couple sleeping can make a ...
