But beyond this simplified view, there is much more that can be said about both the characteristics of these two types of sleep and the way we move between their distinct stages of sleep throughout the night. We'll start by examining the characteristics of REM sleep before moving on to mor...
generalized the modulating effect of the brainstem on the cortex) and a decrease in the weights of factors and (which are related to fronto-occipital and interhemispheric interactions) testify to the special synchronizing role of the brainstem in the development of this initial stage of sleep. Deep...
Researchers have identified the five stages of sleep, each with its own unique set of characteristics. Stage One The first stage of sleep is the transition phase. During the first few minutes, your brain goes from an awakened state to one where you are no longer aware of your external envir...
Dreaming of deeper or longer sleep? Discover what happens while we rest and why each of these sleep stages is vital for our nightly recovery.
Analysis of sleep for the diagnosis of sleep disorders such as Type-1 Narcolepsy (T1N) currently requires visual inspection of polysomnography records by trained scoring technicians. Here, we used neural networks in approximately 3,000 normal and abnorma

The pre-ejection period and the high frequency component of heart rate variability ...
Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were also employed to calculate the effect size of hemispheres across different frequency bands and sleep stages. Results: The results showed statistically significant differences in signal characteristics between hemispheres, but the absolute differences were minor. The median ...

Sleep characteristics were calculated using the Cole-Kripke algorithm34, 35 in ActStudio (version 1.0.5.0, Condor Instruments) to calculate sleep onset time; wake up time; total sleep period, which reflects the total period of inactivity scored by ActStudio and is equivalent to the interval betwe...
This evidence supports the concept that overall, sleep is a condition during which vagal activity is dominant. Myocardial infarction (MI) results in a loss in the overall nocturnal HRV increase. However, the characteristics of HRV during specific sleep stages in normal subjects and, more ...
