Bed Rest and Hypoxic Exposure Affect Sleep Architecture and Breathing Stability

Bed Rest and Hypoxic Exposure Affect Sleep Architecture and Breathing Stability

Objective: Despite over 50 years of research on the physiological effects of sustained bed rest, data characterizing its effects on sleep macrostructure and breathing stability in humans are scarce. This study was conducted to determine the effects of continuous exposure to hypoxia and sustained bes...
