TLDR
The data support the hypothesis that EEG power density during non-rapid eye movement sleep is only determined by the prior history of sleep and wakefulness and is not determined by clock-like mechanisms.Abstract:
The relation between the duration of prior wakefulness and EEG power density during sleep in humans was assessed by means of a study of naps. The duration of prior wakefulness was varied from 2 to 20 hr by scheduling naps at 1000 hr, 1200 hr, 1400 hr, 1600 hr, 1800 hr, 2000 hr, and 0400 hr. In contrast to sleep latencies, which exhibited a minimum in the afternoon, EEG power densities in the delta and theta frequencies were a monotonic function of the duration of prior wakefulness. The data support the hypothesis that EEG power density during non-rapid eye movement sleep is only determined by the prior history of sleep and wakefulness and is not determined by clock-like mechanisms.read more

Sleep function and synaptic homeostasis.
Giulio Tononi,Chiara Cirelli +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews a novel hypothesis about the functions of slow wave sleep-the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis, which accounts for a large number of experimental facts, makes several specific predictions, and has implications for both sleep and mood disorders.

Sleep homeostasis and models of sleep regulation
TL;DR: Simulation of the time course of EEG slow-wave activity, the major marker of non-REM sleep homeostasis, as well as daytime alertness and nonlinear interactions between homeostatic and circadian processes were identified.

Contribution of the circadian pacemaker and the sleep homeostat to sleep propensity, sleep structure, electroencephalographic slow waves, and sleep spindle activity in humans
TL;DR: Analyses of the (nonadditive) interaction of the circadian and sleep-dependent components of sleep propensity and sleep structure revealed that the phase relation between the sleep-wake cycle and the circadian pacemaker during entrainment promotes the consolidation of sleep and wakefulness and facilitates the transitions between these vigilance states.

The two-process model of sleep regulation: a reappraisal
TL;DR: Sleep appears to have not only a short‐term, use‐dependent function; it also serves to enforce rest and fasting, thereby supporting the optimization of metabolic processes at the appropriate phase of the 24‐h cycle.

Regulation of Adolescent Sleep: Implications for Behavior
TL;DR: Data from adolescent participants examining EEG markers of sleep homeostasis are presented to evaluate whether process S shows maturational changes permissive of altered sleep patterns across puberty, and indicate that certain aspects of the homeostatic system are unchanged from late childhood to young adulthood, while other features change in a manner that ispermissive of later bedtimes in older adolescents.
