The phrase "awake period" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to a duration of time when someone is awake, often in contexts related to sleep studies, health, or daily routines.
Example: "During the awake period, it is important to stay hydrated and maintain energy levels."
Alternatives: "waking hours" or "alert phase".
By contrast, we see memories as arising endogenously within the brain's LTM system mainly during sleep, to create complex but probably maladaptive memories which are then simplified ('pruned') and selected during the awake period.
A series of antipsychotic naı̈ve patients with first episode of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and age-matched healthy controls were studied during awake period, stage 1/2, slow wave sleep (stage 3/4) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
However, energy consumption is greater than in Saxena et al. because our duty cycle is variable and can grow until the maximum awake period, i.e., always awake.
The question also remains as to whether an association that has been formed during sleep is retained during the subsequent awake period.
The normal dip was defined as a 10% or greater reduction in BP during sleep compared with the awake period.
An analogous calculation was performed on the baseline awake period by taking a triggered spectrum of an equal number of windows spaced 4 s apart.
In contrast, complex, long-lasting movements that occur during awake periods failed to activate cortical regions.
Results also showed increased power in the higher alpha frequencies (11.00 12.25 Hz) for non-REM, REM, and awake periods.
Given previous reports of reduced piriform cortical responsiveness to odors during slow-wave states in urethane anesthetized rats [35], [36], we compared the magnitude of odor-evoked responses during the two fast-wave states (REM and awake periods) and responses during slow-wave sleep in four of these rats.
There was intermittent hyperpnea/apnea during awake periods.
The cyclopyrrolone zopiclone functions as a selective hypnotic, extending the duration of slow wave sleep and concomitantly shortening the awake periods [ 101].
