Augmented generation of protein fragments during wakefulness as the molecular cause of sleep: A hypothesis [PDF]
, 2012 Despite extensive understanding of sleep regulation, the molecular-level cause and function of sleep are unknown. I suggest that they originate in individual neurons and stem from increased production of protein fragments during wakefulness.

Sleep Deprivation and Epilepsy [PDF]
Epilepsy Currents, 2004 A patient with epilepsy should “spend the day awake and the night asleep. If this habit be disturbed, it is not so good … worse of all when he sleeps neither night nor day.”—Hippocrates ( 1 ) This review summarizes the data for and against sleep deprivation as a facilitator of epileptic seizures and interictal epileptiform discharges.

Increased cortical excitability after selective REM sleep deprivation in healthy humans: a transcranial magnetic stimulation study [PDF]
, 2013 REM sleep has antiepileptogenic properties whereas, its loss is known to have a proconvulsive role. However, the mechanisms underlying the proepileptogenic effects of REM sleep deprivation are yet not fully understood.

Inhibitory Decay and Supercritical Brain Dynamics During Sleep Deprivation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Sleep deprivation progressively shifts human brain dynamics from near‐critical toward supercritical states, as revealed by neuronal avalanche analysis of resting‐state fMRI. These changes track subjective sleep pressure rather than vigilance lapses and show marked network heterogeneity. A circuit model suggests that reduced inhibitory efficacy provides

The effect of sleep deprivation on cortical excitability : a neuromagnetic approach [PDF]
, 2017 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 ...

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands
American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

In vivo imaging of the central and peripheral effects of sleep deprivation and suprachiasmatic nuclei lesion on PERIOD-2 protein in mice. [PDF]
, 2015 STUDY OBJECTIVES: That sleep deprivation increases the brain expression of various clock genes has been well documented. Based on these and other findings we hypothesized that clock genes not only underlie circadian rhythm generation but are also ...

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract In Canada, precarious migration is largely invisibilized. Nonetheless, b/ordering greatly affects people's realities by limiting access to social rights. In Quebec, migrants with precarious status (MPS) do not have access to healthcare, although Quebec has a “universal” healthcare coverage.

Sleep deprivation detected by voice analysis.
PLoS Computational BiologySleep deprivation has an ever-increasing impact on individuals and societies. Yet, to date, there is no quick and objective test for sleep deprivation. Here, we used automated acoustic analyses of the voice to detect sleep deprivation.
