TLDR
The amount of immobility as measured photographically was positively related to subjective estimates of the goodness of sleep, and the organization of this motor activity was shown to be periodic and related to the electroencephalographic sleep cycle.Abstract:
Human sleep is characterized by episodes of immobility punctuated by major postural shifts The organization of this motor activity was shown with a combination of photographic and electroencephalographic recording to be periodic and related to the electroencephalographic sleep cycle The amount of immobility as measured photographically was positively related to subjective estimates of the goodness of sleepread more

Mother–infant cosleeping, breastfeeding and sudden infant death syndrome: What biological anthropology has discovered about normal infant sleep and pediatric sleep medicine
TL;DR: Two decades of research examining parent-infant sleep practices and the variability of maternal and infant sleep physiology and behavior in social and solitary sleeping environments are reviewed, employing a biocultural approach that integrates diverse lines of evidence.

Muscle artifacts in the sleep EEG: Automated detection and effect on all-night EEG power spectra
Daniel P. Brunner,Raymond C. Vasko,Christopher Detka,James P. Monahan,Charles F. Reynolds,David J. Kupfer +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that elimination of short‐lasting muscle artifacts reduces the confound between cortical and myogenic activity and is important in interpreting quantitative EEG data.

TL;DR: The first step in realizing an automatic sleep analysis system is the implementation of a reliable and valid artifact processing strategy that will minimize the loss of data and define epochs contaminated by remaining artifacts.

TL;DR: All the BPPV variants shared the same clinical and demographic characteristics and responded equally well to treatment, however, differential diagnosis was necessary to apply the appropriate canalith repositioning procedure.

Cyclic variations in EEG during sleep and their relation to eye movements, body motility, and dreaming.
TL;DR: Records from a large number of nights in single individuals indicated that some could maintain a very striking regularity in their sleep pattern from night to night, and that body movement, after rising to a peak, dropped sharply at the onset of rapid eye movements and rebounded abruptly as the eye movements ceased.

Sleep Disorders: Disorders of Arousal?: Enuresis, somnambulism, and nightmares occur in confusional states of arousal, not in "dreaming sleep."
TL;DR: The classical sleep disorders of nocturnal enuresis, somnambulism, the nightmare, and the sleep terror occur preferentially during arousal from slow-wave sleep and are virtually never associated with the rapid-eye-movement dreaming state.
