External light schedules can induce nighttime sleep disruptions in a Homeostat-Circadian-Light Model for sleep in young children
Sleep disturbances, particularly nighttime waking, are highly prevalent in young children and can significantly disrupt not only the child's well-being but also family functioning. Behavioral and environmental strategies, including the regulation of light exposure, are typically recommended treatments for nighttime waking. Using the Homeostatic-Circadian-Light (HCL) mathematical model for sleep timing based on the interaction of the circadian rhythm, the homeostatic sleep drive and external lig…

Ancient practice of blowing through a conch shell could help treat dangerous snoring condition
People who practiced blowing through a conch shell regularly for six months experienced a reduction in their symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), according to a small randomized controlled trial published in ERJ Open Research.

The way I finally got a reliable, reboot- and sleep-proof wired Ethernet solution on my MacBook Air (M1) was to plug the old Apple Thunderbolt 2 gigE adapter into a TB2-TB3 bridge dongle.

I need another hour of sleep

Ugh. The rain that was supposed to stop imminently, well, it intensified instead. At one point, I could hardly open my eyes. So I decided not to go with HR zone 2 training tonight and just get it done.
But it was too soon after dinner and I cramped. I didn’t sleep well last night and my HR spiked, like it does in those scenarios. Walked for a short spell late to bring it back down.
Oh, and it stopped raining on my last lap. 🙃
Still, like dogs, all runs are good runs.

Sleepy Chauffeur Detection and Alert Techniques for Road Safety
The most startling of the contemporary problems is the sleepiness of chauffeur which causes lots of car accidents. Prevention of those impending accidents by detecting and alerting the sleepy chauffeur is vital, otherwise that would lead to loss of lives and various traumas along with severe injuries. The slumber or sleep may be caused by huge stress, pressure, relentless work load or alcoholism, for which sleep deprivation occurs and the chauffeur while driving gets drowsy. So far, considerabl…

Mechanisms for anesthesia, unawareness, respiratory depression, memory replay and sleep: MHb > IPN > PAG + DRN + MRN > claustrum > cortical slow-waves
My findings show, for the first time, what causes loss of awareness, anesthesia, memory replay, opioids induced respiratory depression (OIRD), and slow wave sleep. Opiates are fast pain relievers and anesthetics that can cause respiratory arrest. I found how mu-opioids and other medial habenula activators slowdown respiration during SWS and anesthesia. Using DTI method I observed that human hippocampus is connected to MHb via posterior septum, while amygdala via anteromedial BNST. MHb projected…

Addiction (Speculatve)
Kind of a fucked-up metaphor, but I was thinking yesterday that parenting is a lot like addiction. If you separate me from my child, I'll take completely irrational and desperate actions to get them back, driven by a deep instinct that goes well beyond "love." I'll also make self-disadvantageous long-term decisions like forgoing sleep, working an extra job, or quitting a job to do some combination of providing for and/or being present with my child.
Even in parenting situations where love is absent, and beyond, I think, the possessiveness that sometimes festers in those situations, there's often (although not always) a craving for simple presence of the child.
In a healthy relationship, there's a whole lot more than this, but it's interesting to me that the same obsessive craving and absolute priority that we think of as diseased and/or monstrous in someone addicted to a hard drug can be healthy in the right context (that is, when it doesn't contribute to abusive or twisted parental relationships but instead exists alongside a healthy amount of love and respect).
Makes me wonder if there are ways to have a truly healthy drug addiction, although I recognize the answer might well be "no" and that even if it's "technically/theoretically yes" it might still be harmful to hype up or even merely discuss that possibility since it might help addicted people in harmful addictions more easily justify inaction. At minimum I think any "yes" answer here involves assuming utopian-level differences from our current society.

Sleep Disorder Diagnosis Using EEG Signals and LSTM Deep Learning Method
Diagnosing sleep disorders is an important focus in neuroscience and engineering, as these conditions involve issues such as insufficient sleep, frequent awakenings, and difficulty reaching deep sleep. Accurate detection based on brain signals, particularly electroencephalography (EEG), enables development of personalized treatments. While statistical pattern recognition was once the standard for analyzing EEG, deep learning has become the dominant approach. In this study, we analyzed a public …

Deep Reinforcement Learning-based Cell DTX/DRX Configuration for Network Energy Saving
3GPP Release 18 cell discontinuous transmission and reception (cell DTX/DRX) is an important new network energy saving feature for 5G. As a time-domain technique, it periodically aggregates the user data transmissions in a given duration of time when the traffic load is not heavy, so that the remaining time can be kept silent and advanced sleep modes (ASM) can be enabled to shut down more radio components and save more energy for the cell. However, inevitably the packet delay is increased, as d…
