The changes
in sleep architecture we observed are in an optimal direction, that is, more rich, slow wave sleep and less light or Stage 1 sleep, is a shift in the positive direction.»
Spencer says, «It is interesting to note that despite having atypical or
disturbed sleep architecture, people in our study had intact sleep - dependent memory consolidation.
Other sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, may lead to disruptions of the
natural sleep architecture, too, with frequent arousals leading to numerous sleep stage shifts and abnormal cycling of sleep.
This change in
their sleep architecture can make them feel sleepy during the day and lead to napping.
Breastfeeding changes where and how the baby is placed next to the mother, to begin with, and the infant's arousal patterns, how sensitive the baby and the mother are to each other's movements and sounds and proximities, as well as the infant's and the mother's
sleep architecture (how much time each spends in various sleep stages and how and when they move out of one sleep stage into another) are very different between bottle feeding and breastfeeding mother - infant pairs.
Babies» sleep patterns mature over the first several years of life, and
the sleep architecture of newborns is very different than that of adults.
Sleep architecture can be represented by a graph called a hypnogram.
A study on
sleep architecture in patients with chronic respiratory failure under long - term oxygen therapy — Focused on the influence of ventilatory failure (high CO2) elements on the patient's sleep architecture
Sleep architecture and sleep - related mentation in securely and insecurely attached people.
