Video Introduction
This video is adapted from 10.3390/clockssleep5040046
Explaining the complex structure and dynamics of sleep, which consist of alternating and physiologically distinct nonREM and REM sleep episodes, has posed a significant challenge. In this video, researchers demonstrate that a single wave model concept captures the distinctly different overnight dynamics of the four primary sleep measures—the duration and intensity of nonREM and REM sleep episodes—with high quantitative precision for both regular and extended sleep. The experimental part of the study also establishes an invariant relationship between nonREM and REM sleep, as predicted by the wave model.
