Heart rate variability at bedtime predicts subsequent sleep features

Fiorenzo Artoni, Maria Paola Tramonti Fantozzi

Getting enough sleep during the night is important for preventing adverse short- and long-term health outcomes. The sympathetic-parasympathetic autonomic balance, characteristics of the pre-bed time resting period, correlates with sleep efficiency. We inve ...

Tissue-specific circadian transcriptional regulation

Jake Yeung

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior evolved to resonate with daily cycles in the external environment. In mammals, organs orchestrate temporal physiology over the 24-hour day, which requires extensive gene expression rhythms targeted to the right ...

Molecular codes and in vitro generation of hypocretin and melanin concentrating hormone neurons

Cyril Mikhail, Hasan Pezeshgi Modarres, Sha Li

Hypocretin/orexin (HCRT) and melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) neuropeptides are exclusively produced by the lateral hypothalamus and play important roles in sleep, metabolism, reward, and motivation. Loss of HCRT (ligands or receptors) causes the sleep ...

How to assess alerting effects of daylight at the workplace? Learnings from semi-controlled studies

Marilyne Andersen, Victoria Eugenia Soto Magán

Daylight, in which we evolved, is naturally rich in the blue component of the spectrum and has key properties when it comes to impacts on body functioning. Current lifestyles are driving the emergence of a 24-hour society that spends most of the time indoo ...

Nicotine increases sleep spindle activity

Christian O'Reilly

Studies have shown that both nicotine and sleep spindles are associated with enhanced memorisation. Further, a few recent studies have shown how cholinergic input through nicotinic and muscarinic receptors can trigger or modulate sleep processes in general ...

Low Power Sensing and Processing in Wearable Biomedical Devices for Personalized Health Monitoring

Grégoire Casimir Joseph Surrel

Whether it is for personal use or for medical application, wearable sensors are becoming more and more widespread. This is the industry answer to two parallel trends. First, the public show a wish to collect data about their own lifestyle. This rather new ...

Analysis of U-Shape Patterns in RR-Interval Time Series During Sleep

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani, Alexandre Thierry Robert Cherqui

The proposed study investigates a phenomenon, defined as "U-patterns", that takes place in the RR-interval time series during sleep. These patterns are defined as a U-shaped decrease-increase in the RR-intervals, with a duration of 20 to 40 seconds with a ...

Can Daytime Napping Assist the Process of Skills Acquisition After Stroke?

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Winifried Backhaus

Acquisition and reacquisition of skills is a main pillar of functional recovery after stroke. Nighttime sleep has a positive influence on motor learning in healthy individuals, whereas the effect of daytime sleep on neuro-rehabilitative training and relear ...
