Dynamics of nap sleep during a 40 hour period
TLDR
The sleep of 8 adult males in equally space 1 h naps during a 40 h period was examined, demonstrating that the organization of sleep within a nap is quite different from that in monophasic nocturnal sleep.About:

Maintenance of wakefulness test: A polysomnographic technique for evaluating treatment efficacy in patients with excessive somnolence ☆
TL;DR: The findings suggested that clinical data on symptom control in narcolepsy do not predict ability to stay awake, and objective measures of the ability are potentially more useful in evaluating treatment.

TL;DR: There is an endogenous circadian rhythm of REM sleep propensity which is closely coupled to the body temperature rhythm and is capable of free-running with a period different from both 24 hr and the average period of the sleep-wake cycle.

Regulation of sleepiness in adolescents: update, insights, and speculation.
TL;DR: The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) was first used at the Stanford Sleep Laboratory in the spring of 1976 in a validation sleep-loss study, and the data were presented at the 1977 Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS) meeting as discussed by the authors.

Sleep-wake as a biological rhythm.
TL;DR: A potent circadian cycle in the drive for wakefulness, which is generated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus is revealed, which reaches a peak during the evening hours just before habitual bedtime.

Distribution of REM sleep in entrained 24 hour and free-running sleep--wake cycles.
TL;DR: The results show that there is more REM sleep in the beginning of sleep inSleep episodes of free-running rhythms as compared to sleep episodes of entrained 24 hr rhythms, which can be explained by the different courses of body temperature during sleep.

Sleep and wakefulness
TL;DR: For half a century, "Sleep and Wakefulness" has been a valuable reference work as discussed by the authors It discusses phases of the sleep cycle, experimental work on sleep and wakefulness, sleep disorders and their treatment, and such sleep-like states as hypnosis and hibernation.

TL;DR: Despite significant sleep deprivation, a circadian pattern of total sleep time persisted throughout the 10-day ultradian condition and the distribution and amount of REM sleep time was most affected with stages 3–4 sleep least affected.
