Need for Sleep: the Impact of a Night of Sleep Deprivation on Novice Developers' Performance [PDF]
We present a quasi-experiment to investigate whether, and to what extent, sleep deprivation impacts the performance of novice software developers using the agile practice of test-first development (TFD). We recruited 45 undergraduates and asked them to tackle a programming task.

Flexibility of brain regions during working memory curtails cognitive consequences to lack of sleep [PDF]
Previous research has shown a clear relationship between sleep and memory, examining the impact of sleep deprivation on key cognitive processes over very short durations or in special populations. Here, we show, in a longitudinal 16 week study, that naturalistic, unfettered sleep modulations in healthy adults have significant impacts on the brain ...

Insomnia impairs muscle function via regulating protein degradation and muscle clock [PDF]
Background: Insomnia makes people more physically unable of doing daily duties, which results in a lack of strength, leads to lacking in strength. However, the effects of insomnia on muscle function have not yet been thoroughly investigated. So, the objectives of this study were to clarify how insomnia contributes to the decrease of muscular function ...

Protein cysteine residues can be oxidized by nitric oxide (NO) to form protein S‐nitrosothiols (SNOs) in a process called S‐nitrosylation. S‐nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is a highly specific denitrase for GSNO; it controls the intracellular levels of GSNO and protein SNOs and protects the body from nitrosative stress.

Intracerebral Adenosine During Sleep Deprivation: A Meta-Analysis and New Experimental Data
The neuroregulator adenosine is involved in sleep-wake control. Basal forebrain (BF) adenosine levels increase during sleep deprivation. Only a few studies have addressed the effect of sleep deprivation on extracellular adenosine concentrations in other ...

The effect of sleep deprivation on cortical excitability : a neuromagnetic approach [PDF]
Despite decades of study, no ironclad conclusion has been reached concerning the biological function of sleep in humans. Recent theories have proposed that sleep might play a role in maintaining cortical excitability at safe levels by downregulating ...
