TL;DR: Temperature displayed a significant quadratic trends for nearly every sleep variable, such that TaS above or below thermoneutrality had similar effects on sleep patterns, and there were marked individual differences in sensitivity of sleep to cold.

Cognitive-behavior therapy for late-life insomnia.
TL;DR: In this article, cognitive-behavior therapy consisted of an 8-week group intervention aimed at changing maladaptive sleep habits and altering dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleeplessness, which was effective in reducing sleep latency, wake after sleep onset, and early morning awakening, and in increasing sleep efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Epinephrine and Norepinephrine Concentrations of Healthy Humans Associated With Nighttime Sleep and Morning Arousal
TL;DR: This study suggests that the decrease in theActivity of the sympathoadrenal branch of the sympathetic nervous system is probably due to an entrainment to the sleep-wake cycle, whereas the low activity of the noradrenergic branches depends mainly on horizontal body position during nocturnal sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and circadian influences on cardiac autonomic nervous system activity
TL;DR: The findings indicate that parasympathetic nervous system activity is mostly influenced by the circadian system, whereas sympathetic nervous systemActivity is mostly influence by the sleep system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive flexibility across the sleep-wake cycle: REM-sleep enhancement of anagram problem solving
TL;DR: The authors found that the neurophysiology of REM sleep represents a brain state more amenable to flexible cognitive processing than NREM and different from that in wake, and may offer insights into the neurocognitive properties of REM-sleep dreaming.
