The futuristic manifolds of REM sleep
Summary Since one of its first descriptions 70 years ago, rapid eye movement sleep has continually inspired and excited new generations of sleep researchers. Despite significant advancements in understanding its neurocircuitry, underlying mechanisms and microstates, many questions regarding its function, especially beyond the early neurodevelopment ...

Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep
Summary Since the first description of narcolepsy at the end of the 19th Century, great progress has been made. The disease is nowadays distinguished as narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. In the 1960s, the discovery of rapid eye movement sleep at sleep onset led to improved understanding of core sleep‐related disease symptoms of the disease (excessive ...

Is sleep affected after microgravity and hypergravity exposure? A pilot study
Summary Sleep is known to be affected in space travel and in residents of the international space station. But little is known about the direct effects of gravity changes on sleep, if other factors, such as sleep conditions, are kept constant. Here, as a first exploration, we investigated sleep before and after exposure to short bouts of microgravity ...

Feasibility and usability of three consecutive nights with self‐applied, home polysomnography
Summary In‐laboratory polysomnography, the gold‐standard for diagnosing sleep disorders, is resource‐demanding and not conducive to multiple night evaluations. Ambulatory polysomnography, especially when self‐applied, could be a viable alternative. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and reliability of self‐applied polysomnography over three ...

Ageing‐related modification of sleep and breathing in orexin‐knockout narcoleptic mice
Summary Narcolepsy type‐1 (NT1) is a lifelong sleep disease, characterised by impairment of the orexinergic system, with a typical onset during adolescence and young adulthood. Since the wake–sleep cycle physiologically changes with ageing, this study aims to compare sleep patterns between orexin‐knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) control mice at ...
