Where do we look for the next breakthrough in sleep research?

BMC Neurol. 2023 Jul 28;23(1):283. doi: 10.1186/s12883-023-03330-3.

Abstract

The wakefulness-sleep cycle sets the pace of our life. Sleep research examines the transition between wakefulness and sleep, its hormonal regulation, and its pathological disruption. Understanding sleep mechanisms would improve quality-of-life well beyond sleep itself. To this aim, we invite contributions for the Collection "sleep physiology and circadian rhythms".
