The impact of sleep duration and subject intelligence on declarative and motor memory performance: how much is enough?

30 Aug 2009 Recent findings clearly demonstrate that daytime naps impart substantial memory benefits compared with equivalent periods of wakefulness. Using a declarative paired associates task and a procedural motor sequence task, this study examined the effect ... Read more...

Effects of overnight sleep restriction on brain chemistry and mood in women with unipolar depression and healthy controls.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Partial or total overnight sleep deprivation produces immediate mood improvement in about 50% of patients with depression, but not in healthy controls. Our objectives were to compare the neurochemical changes that accompanied partial ... Read more...

Maternal sleep deprivation is a risk factor for small for gestational age: a cohort study.

30 Jul 2009 AIMS: To determine trimester-specific risk factors for small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants. METHODS: A population-based prospective cohort study was conducted in Sri Lanka from May 2001 to April 2002. Pregnant women were recruited on or before ... Read more...
