The particular kind of waves that the #brain produces during #sleep, which repeatedly sweep the surface of the cerebral cortex, travel through the anatomical "highways" that connect distant areas of the cortical mantle, a new study shows. https://t.co/OywtYlrei9

Society's bias towards 'early birds' is rooted in our agrarian past. It's time to move on and respect the needs of night owls. Good piece in the Guardian on chronotypes https://t.co/O1Ul97n0xM

#michiganstate #scientists found that lack of #sleep has a detrimental effect on a person's ability to follow a procedure and maintain attention. #neuroscience #Science

Associational study showing that nearly 25% of a student’s grade is predicted by sleep in the weeks before the exam. Suggests sleep hysteresis: it’s not simply sleep the night prior to the exam. Rather, it's your aggregated sleep history over many weeks. https://t.co/pZbhQTIpaX

Today I'm visiting the #lightoftheworldacademy to talk to the students about #sleep health and also discuss they can help raise money to support the #AustralianBushfiresDisaster effort. #science #health #AustraliaBurning #AustralianBushfires

I was recently interviewed by #bustle on how to deal with noise pollution when you're trying to #sleep. Check out the article for some of my tips on how to sleep soundly. #noisepollution #sleeptips https://t.co/M4VUClKl2f

New research finds school-age #children who get 9 hours of #sleep most weeknights show more interest in learning and doing well in #school, along with other markers of childhood flourishing. https://t.co/tE78MOxDGb #AAP19

This is incredible news and #California is sure to see an increase in academic outcomes in the coming years. #sleep #education

[Future Of Sleep @future_of_sleep]

🎉⏰💤Great news! California has become the first state in the US to mandate early school times. Well done all to everyone who supported #SB328 @startschooll8r @HealthyHours Only 49 states left to go!!

I didn't know an #octopus can change its color during #sleep. How cool is that? #sleepscience #animal #Science https://t.co/4KNNhqeKJg

[Sleepy Scientist @Sleepy_Science]

Do we have REM (#dream) #sleep so that we can forget information that is not important enough to store? This new research study thinks REM sleep may play an important role in the selection of #memory. #science https://t.co/cyl3fmmkMe

How does using screens before bed affects #kids? A new study found that screen use after 9 p.m. reduces sleep onset time, sleep duration, mood, body weight, and academic performance in #adolescents. #health #sleepfacts https://t.co/IF9G0KxUGR

#Science Alert👩‍🔬 A study found that consistently #sleeping too little or too much can increase your risk of having a #heartattack even if you're physically fit and don't smoke. Stick to 7-9 hours! #sleep #neuroscience #HeartHealth https://t.co/lgQ6l1n1eF
