REM sleep goes even deeper into brain recovery, dreaming and processing memories and emotions. This is the sleep stage in ...

electrodes are attached to your scalp that will monitor brain waves before, during, and after sleep. The EOM records eye movement. A small electrode is placed 1 centimeter above the outer upper ...

OxStu's breakdown on the science behind sleep, providing practical advice on how to establish a good sleep routine.

A delay in getting to the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep may be linked to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, ...

Dec. 12, 2024 — It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is was previously unknown.

During a good night’s sleep, the brain gets busy cleaning itself, flushing out waste products that have built up during the day. A study in mice shows how a molecule called noradrenaline ...

New research on ‘slow-wave sleep’ may have implications for others battling insomnia, including people with anxiety and ...

The team focused on the relationship between norepinephrine and blood flow during deep sleep. They found that norepinephrine waves correlate to variations in brain blood volume — suggesting that ...

Delta waves (0.5-4 Hz) signify a state of deep sleep. A binaural beat with a frequency between 4 and 7 Hz, for example, is more likely to align with theta brain waves, promoting sleep and relaxation.

During a central sleep apnea episode, your brainstem doesn’t tell your breathing muscles to function properly. Your brainstem is the section of your brain that ... uses radio waves to generate ...

They found that during a phase of sleep when the brain is relatively calm, known as non-REM sleep, the neurotransmitter norepinephrine was released in slow waves. These waves caused what the ...

which was released by the brainstem every 50 seconds during the non-rapid eye movement sleep. The wave of norepinephrine generates oscillating blood volume, pushing the fluid around the brain to ...
