Research advances in the study of sleep disorders, circadian rhythm disturbances and Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Although there are still no satisfactory answers to the question of why we need to sleep, a better understanding of its function will help to improve societal attitudes toward sleep. Sleep disorders are very common in neurodegenerative diseases and are a

Non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder revisited – A case study [PDF]
The human sleep-wake cycle is governed by two major factors: a homeostatic hourglass process (process S), which rises linearly during the day, and a circadian process C, which determines the timing of sleep in an approximately 24h rhythm in accordance to

The role of microRNAs in the molecular link between circadian rhythm and autism spectrum disorder
Circadian rhythm regulates physiological cycles of awareness and sleepiness. Melatonin production is primarily regulated by circadian regulation of gene expression and is involved in sleep homeostasis. If the circadian rhythm is abnormal, sleep disorders,
