Utility of Sleep Stage Transitions in Assessing Sleep Continuity [PDF]
Sleep continuity is commonly assessed with polysomnographic measures such as sleep efficiency, sleep stage percentages, and the arousal index. The aim of this study was to examine whether the transition rate between different sleep stages could be used as an index of sleep continuity to predict self-reported sleep quality independent of other commonly ...

Late Stage Infection in Sleeping Sickness
At the turn of the 19(th) century, trypanosomes were identified as the causative agent of sleeping sickness and their presence within the cerebrospinal fluid of late stage sleeping sickness patients was described. However, no definitive proof of how the parasites reach the brain has been presented so far.

Scale-free and oscillatory spectral measures of sleep stages in humans. [PDF]
Power spectra of sleep electroencephalograms (EEG) comprise two main components: a decaying power-law corresponding to the aperiodic neural background activity, and spectral peaks present due to neural oscillations.

Estimating Sleep Stages Using a Head Acceleration Sensor. [PDF]
Sleep disruption from causes, such as changes in lifestyle, stress from aging, family issues, or life pressures are a growing phenomenon that can lead to serious health problems. As such, sleep disorders need to be identified and addressed early on.
