🧠✨ New Insights into Preterm Brain Development ✨🧠

Preterm infants often face neurodevelopmental challenges, but how do sleep states and breathing patterns impact brain connectivity? A new study in SLEEP reveals distinct functional connectivity development during active and quiet sleep, shedding light on preterm brain growth.

🔍 Key takeaway: Differentiating sleep states and breathing patterns provides valuable insights into brain development in preterm infants.

Getting an hour of extra sleep is good for you, but moving to Standard Time means our body clocks are better aligned with the timing of sunrise and sunset. This means most people will get 15-20 minutes more sleep each night until we ‘spring ahead.’ It’s also one of the reasons the SRS favors the adoption of permanent Standard Time.

With the clocks going back this weekend, a new study has found that moving the clocks one hour forward in Spring and one hour back in Autumn has a substantial, but short-lived effect on sleep duration.

There are two different microstates during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep: phasic and tonic REM. Previous studies primarily used measures like oscillatory power to understand these states. Here, researchers adopt Lempel-Ziv Complexity (LZC) to explore the nonlinear aspects of brain activity during REM sleep. Their results reveal a significant decrease in LZC during phasic REM, indicating simpler brain activity during this state compared to the tonic REM state. https://ow.ly/NIlI50SW9rO

Surprising!

Adolescents were more likely to have consumed alcohol or tried ma*****na by age 15 if they had later bedtimes and slept fewer hours during the night during childhood and adolescence, according to a new study led by a team from Penn State.

Insomnia symptoms are common during the perinatal period and are linked to adverse outcomes. This single-blind three-arm randomized-controlled trial examined whether two interventions targeting different mechanisms prevent postpartum insomnia. https://ow.ly/jpoz50SXXjp
