Sleepy Genes

wake states. Importantly, several conditions were used in this research including normal wakefulness (W), sleep deprivation (SD), SD followed by recovery sleep, and sleep in undisturbed mice. In most previous research, SD was generally considered simply a way to maximize wake (W), and in general, natural periods of W at night and periods of forced wake during SD had similar increased levels of ...

c OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNOEA/HYPOPNOEA SYNDROME The obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) is the most common medical cause of sleepiness. It can present at any age but is most common in middle age, when it occurs in around 1–4% of men and 1–2% of women. It occurs rarely in the teens and 20s—a useful diVerentiator from narcolepsy.

I sleep mostly at night (I don't nap too much) and don't go to bed too late (usually between 12 a.m. to 2 a.m.). But, unless I have some huge incentive to get up in the morning (class, etc.), I can sleep extremely late (1 p.m. to 2 p.m.). This makes me end up feeling even sleepier throughout th...

The Sleepy Model of Consensus

The distributed systems literature adopts two primary network models, the synchronous model where honest messages are delivered in the next round, and the partially synchronous (or asynchronous) model where honest messages are subject to unpredictable adversarial delays. In this paper, we show that more nuanced formal models exist beyond the traditional synchrony and asynchrony stratification —...
