Effects of thermal environment on sleep and circadian rhythm [PDF]
, 2012 The thermal environment is one of the most important factors that can affect human sleep. The stereotypical effects of heat or cold exposure are increased wakefulness and decreased rapid eye movement sleep and slow wave sleep.

The Effect of Baclofen on Alterations in the Sleep Patterns Induced by Different Stressors in Rats
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009 We have previously reported that sleep patterns are significantly affected by both physical and psychological stress induced by a communication box ; however, the mechanism by which stress alters sleep patterns was not established.

Colony‐stimulating factors in rapid eye movement sleep and non‐rapid eye movement sleep regulation [PDF]
Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1999 Although several cytokines are known to be somnogenic, no study has been conducted to examine whether colony‐stimulating factors (CSF) affect sleep. Therefore, we studied the effects of granulocyte‐macrophage CSF (GM‐CSF) and macrophage CSF (M‐CSF) on sleep in rats and their possible mechanism of action.

Quantifying sleep architecture dynamics and individual differences using big data and Bayesian networks [PDF]
, 2018 The pattern of sleep stages across a night (sleep architecture) is influenced by biological, behavioral, and clinical variables. However, traditional measures of sleep architecture such as stage proportions, fail to capture sleep dynamics.

Rapid eye movement dependent central apnea with periodic leg movements
Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2013 Central sleep apnea is a period of at least 10 s without airflow, during which no ventilatory effort is present. Most of the central apneas occur in Non-Rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.

A continuum model for the dynamics of the phase transition from slow-wave sleep to REM sleep [PDF]
, 2010 Previous studies have shown that activated cortical states (awake and rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep), are associated with increased cholinergic input into the cerebral cortex.

EEG oscillations during sleep and dream recall. State- or trait-like individual differences? [PDF]
, 2015 Dreaming represents a peculiar form of cognitive activity during sleep. On the basis of the well-known relationship between sleep and memory, there has been a growing interest in the predictive role of human brain activity during sleep on dream recall ...

Effects of sildenafil on autonomic nervous function during sleep in obstructive sleep apnea
Clinics, 2010 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of sildenafil on the autonomic nervous system in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS: Thirteen male patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (mean age 43±10 years with a mean body mass index of 26 ...

Effects of valerian extract on the sleep-wake cycle in sleep-disturbed rats. [PDF]
, 2005 The present study was performed to investigate the effects of valerian extract on the sleep-wake cycle using sleep-disturbed model rats. A significant shortening in sleep latency was observed with valerian extract at doses of 1000 and 3000 mg/kg.
