Each morning, your brain embarks on a remarkable series of events: it transitions from being asleep, potentially in an ...

Each morning, your brain undergoes a precise sequence to shift from sleep to wakefulness, reorienting you to the world.

We ask an expert why REM sleep is so important, what happens if we don't get enough of it and how to get more REM sleep.

Neuroscientists have found that the brain can wake up in different ways, explaining why some mornings feel like a dream and ...

Certain patterns of brain activity during awakening correlate with a lower likelihood of the bleary-eyed state called ‘sleep ...

Any sleep tracker will show you that slumber is far from a passive affair. And no stage of sleep demonstrates that better than rapid eye movement, or REM, commonly called dream sleep.

The results revealed a remarkably rapid decline in REM sleep in humans at the age of two and a half years – or 2.4 years of age to be exact. Even more surprising, the data was consistent across ...

Using a neural network model, neuroscientists have found that, as the brain moves between REM and slow-wave sleep cycles, the hippocampus teaches the neocortex what it learned. This process seems ...

However, about once an hour, everything changed when REM sleep set in. LFP recordings showed a remarkable increase in activity in the frontal and vertical lobes, the same regions that were ...

Behavioural sleep is ubiquitous among animals, from insects to man. In humans, sleep is also characterized by brain activity: periods of slow-wave activity are each followed by short phases of ...
