CAP (cyclic alternating pattern) is the EEG marker of unstable sleep, a concept which is
poorly appreciated among the metrics of sleep physiology. Besides, duration, depth and …

The role of arousals in sleep is gaining interest among both basic researchers and
clinicians. In the last 20 years increasing evidence shows that arousals are deeply involved …

Objectives: The purposes of this study were to identify age-related changes in objectively
recorded sleep patterns across the human life span in healthy individuals and to clarify …

Age is probably the single most crucial factor determining how humans sleep. Age and level
of vigilance significantly influence the electroencephalogram (EEG) and the polysomnogram …

Sleep has a crucial role in brain functioning and cognition, and several sleep
electroencephalography (EEG) hallmarks are associated with intellectual abilities, neural …

Objective: Polysomnographic (PSG) measures consistently reflect poor sleep quality and
effective treatment in insomniac patients. Methods: The PSG findings of 47 patients (18 M …

Abstract Study Objectives: To evaluate non-rapid eye movement sleep instability (NREM), as
measured by the cyclic alternating pattern (CAP), in a cohort of children with attention …

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the functional connectivity patterns of the EEG slow-wave activity
during the different sleep stages and Cyclic Alternating Pattern (CAP) conditions, using …

Objectives The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of sleep bruxism in
children in Japan, and its relationships with sleep‐related factors and daytime problematic …

The main aim of this paper is to consider relevant theoretical and empirical factors defining
optimal sleep, and assess the relative importance of each in developing a working definition …
