Sleep is a familiar, periodic occurrence in our lives. Despite its place in everyday
experience, the existence of this suspended state of consciousness has intrigued and …

The two‐process model of sleep regulation posits two main processes regulating sleep: the
circadian process controlled by the circadian clock and the homeostatic process that …

The needs fulfilled by sleep are unknown, though the effects of insufficient sleep are
manifold. To better understand how the need to sleep is sensed and discharged, much effort …

Listening to music is a promising and accessible intervention for alleviating symptoms of
major depressive disorder. However, the neural mechanisms underlying its antidepressant …

The need to sleep is sensed and discharged in a poorly understood process that is
homeostatically controlled over time. In flies, different contributions to this process have …

Circadian clocks are cell-autonomous endogenous oscillators, generated and maintained
by self-sustained 24-h rhythms of clock gene expression. In the fruit fly Drosophila …

Abstract Study Objectives Sleep is a complex phenomenon regulated by various factors,
including sensory input. Anecdotal observations have suggested that gentle rocking helps …

In the past 20 years, more remarkable revelations about sleep and its varied functions have
arguably been made than in the previous 200. Building on this swell of recent findings, this …

While animals across species typically experience suppressed consciousness and an
increased arousal threshold during sleep, the responsiveness to specific sensory inputs …

Humans spend a third of their lives asleep. While the sleep-wake behaviors are primarily
modulated by homeostasis and circadian rhythm, several ambient chemical and physical …
