Enhancement of sleep slow waves: underlying mechanisms and practical consequences.

Enhancement of sleep slow waves: underlying mechanisms and practical consequences.

Even modest sleep restriction, especially the loss of sleep slow wave activity, is invariably associated with slower EEG activity during wake, the occurrence of local sleep in an otherwise awake brain, and impaired performance due to cognitive and memory deficits. Recent studies not only confirm the...
