A study in China found that parental phubbing, where parents focus on phones over interacting with their children, leads to increased sleep problems in adolescents. This effect is mediated by negative emotions, especially in those with lower self-control.
Researchers have discovered it's possible to communicate with people during various sleep stages, including REM, by receiving simple responses to questions and stimuli. This breakthrough enhances our understanding of dreams and opens new avenues for studying the sleeping brain.
A study in Neurology shows irregular sleep patterns and, to a lesser extent, overly consistent ones are linked to an increased dementia risk. Researchers emphasize the importance of balanced sleep schedules for cognitive health.
In a groundbreaking study, researchers have discovered a significant link between breathing patterns during sleep and the brain's ability to consolidate memories.
Extending sleep by one hour nightly improved college students' heart health, glucose regulation, and hydration while reducing sleepiness. This small change also led to lower blood pressure.
In a new scientific paper recently published in the journal Cell Press, researchers have unveiled new insights into how the brain processes and consolidates emotional memories during sleep. The paper, drawing on extensive rodent-based research, highlights the critical role of...
Researchers discovered that while a single dose of caffeine can improve attention in sleep-deprived individuals, regular high consumption of caffeine leads to diminished attentional performance, as well as alterations in brain activity.
Researchers identified brain connectivity patterns that predict sleep duration, revealing consistent networks across ages and suggesting a deeper relationship between sleep and cognitive functions. This insight offers new avenues in understanding the link between sleep and brain function.
A new study has found that drinking matcha, a type of green tea, may improve perception of emotions and sleep quality in older adults with a decline of cognitive functions. The study, conducted by researchers from Japan and published in...
Variability in sleep patterns, not just average sleep duration, is linked to cognitive impairment in older adults, according to new research. This study highlights the importance of consistent sleep patterns for cognitive health, suggesting that changes in sleep behavior might...
A recent study compared mindfulness-based body scan interventions with relaxation techniques on adolescent athletes, finding positive effects on anxiety but unclear results on sleep problems.
New research in Scientific Reports reveals a strong link between people's waking thoughts, especially mind wandering, and their dream content. The study, involving 719 participants, supports the Continuity Hypothesis, showing that daytime experiences influence dreams
A recent study in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry found that moderate exercise improves memory and cognition in older adults, particularly those with poor sleep efficiency.
A recent study using an electronic daily diary design to assess smartphone use and sleep in Czech adolescents found no clear link between smartphone use before sleep and sleep outcomes, suggesting a more complex relationship than previously assumed.
A recent study in Scientific Reports shows that creativity can be boosted by influencing dreams during the N1 sleep phase. Using the Dormio device, researchers found that participants who experienced dream incubation with thematic cues demonstrated notably improved creative performance.
