health. Their disruption is associated with detrimental physiological consequences …

Sleep is entwined across many physiologic processes in the brain and periphery, thereby
exerting tremendous influence on our well-being. Yet sleep exists in a social-environmental …

Neural substrates of wakefulness, rapid eye movement sleep (REMS), and non-REMS
(NREMS) in the mammalian hypothalamus overlap both anatomically and functionally with …

Timing and duration of sleep are controlled by the circadian system, which keeps an~ 24-h
internal rhythm that entrains to environmental stimuli, and the sleep homeostat, which rises …

In the current study, a systematic review and meta‐analysis were conducted to summarize
