Sleep can be addressed across the entire hierarchy of biological organization. We discuss
neuronal-network and regional forebrain activity during sleep, and its consequences for …

This study assessed the effects of modest sleep restriction and extension on children's
neurobehavioral functioning (NBF). The sleep of 77 children (age: M= 10.6 years; range …
