Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Until recently, the electrophysiological mechanisms involved in strengthening new
memories into a more permanent form during sleep have been largely unknown. The sleep …

The memories that we retain can serve many functions. They guide our future actions, form a
scaffold for constructing the self, and continue to shape both the self and the way we …

For the past two decades, it has generally been accepted that sleep benefits motor memory
consolidation processes. This notion, however, has been challenged by recent studies and …

Despite the fact that midday naps are characteristic of early childhood, very little is

Nap** is a cross‐cultural phenomenon which occurs across the lifespan. People vary
widely in the frequency with which they nap as well as the improvements in alertness and …

In humans, some evidence suggests that there are two different types of spindles during
sleep, which differ by their scalp topography and possibly some aspects of their regulation …

Background: Nap** in the workplace is under debate, with interesting results on work
efficiency and well-being of workers. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed …

Functional brain imaging has been used in humans to noninvasively investigate the neural
mechanisms underlying the generation of sleep stages. On the one hand, REM sleep has …

Naps (brief sleeps) are a global and highly prevalent phenomenon, thus warranting
consideration for their effects on cognitive functioning. Naps can reduce sleepiness and …
