psychosocial and societal pressures culminate in a “Perfect Storm” of short and ill-timed …

The perfect storm metaphor applies to sleep patterns of adolescents in the sense that
developmental trajectories of biopsychosocial factors conspire to limit the quantity of sleep …

Background Hippocrates flagged the value of sleep for good health. Nonetheless,

Background: The brain's continuous neural activity during sleep can be monitored by
electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The EEG wave pattern and frequency vary during five …

The steep adolescent decline in the slow wave (delta, 1–4 Hz) electroencephalogram (EEG)
of nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is a dramatic maturational change in brain …

Sleep spindles are intermittent bursts of 11-15 Hz EEG waves that occur during non-rapid
eye movement sleep. Spindles are believed to help maintain sleep and to play a role in …
