Sleep loss influences basic emotional and cognitive processes, but its impact on higher-order naturalistic cognition, such as aesthetic judgements, is less understood. The current study primarily…

Frontal cortical tau pathology in aging humans is associated with reduced slow-wave travel during sleep. This reduced propagation is associated with poorer overnight memory retention, supporting a…

Sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation. While the interaction between sleep oscillations and autonomic activity likely influences this process,

Sleep slow-wave neurofeedback inside the MRI scanner can drive large-scale cerebrospinal fluid flow.

Highlighting unaccounted gaps in dCBT-I treatment adherence, by exploring the experience of a deaf individual engaging in a six-week dCBT-I program

The AASM Foundation is committed to growing and supporting the pipeline of sleep scientists by investing in the research careers of new investigators through mentorship and grantsmanship training…

The formation of long-term memory during sleep depends on the reactivation and redistribution of recently acquired mnemonic information during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Animal studies sugge...

Sleep and mood are homeostatically regulated systems essential for mental and physical health. Understanding how sleep timing and mood dynamically influence each other, and which individual traits mod...

This research demonstrates that reactivating remote emotional memories before sleep influences subsequent dream emotions. Notably, we found no evidence tha

Background To evaluate the efficacy of digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) as a behavioral intervention in older adults, with focus on insomnia severity and the sustainability…

Purpose To estimate the prevalence of insomnia disorder and insomnia symptoms, explore risk factors for insomnia disorder, and characterize sleep at 6 weeks postpartum. Methods Following IRB…

Why some experiences are retained while others fade remains a central question in memory research. This study shows that theta-band activity during learning marks memories for sleep-dependent consolid...

npj Parkinson's Disease - Electroencephalographic slowing during REM sleep as a marker of cholinergic network dysfunction in Lewy body disorders

Here, we demonstrate that a single session of moderate-intensity evening exercise performed before a night of sleep restriction was associated with better

This randomized clinical trial examines the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia compared with bright light therapy for treating insomnia and fatigue symptoms in Australian women…

Memory generalization allows individuals to extract and apply information from prior experiences to novel situations, supporting flexible learning and efficient decision-making. Theoretical models suggest that sleep should facilitate generalization, yet the literature examining its role in promoting …

Translational Psychiatry - Sleep to remember, sleep to protect: increased sleep spindle and theta activity predict fewer intrusive memories after analogue trauma

Schaeffer et al. assess the use of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation with Temporal Interference (TES-TI) and high-density electroencephalography during overnight sleep in healthy humans. Findings…

The trajectory of sleep in the first year of age is highly dynamic and correlates with developmental progress from the neonatal to the infantile period. During this critical period of brain growth, sleep...

Learning while sleeping had long been relegated to the realm of quackery, but new studies suggest that we may be able to problem-solve and practice skills in our dreams.

Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep degrades with age, and more severely in Alzheimer's disease (AD). REM sleep comprises about twenty percent of adult sleep, alternates between phasic and tonic periods, a...
