Studies of the effects of cAMP signaling on sleep in D. melanogaster and in mice have demonstrated that CREB, when activated by PKA, promotes the duration of wakefulness (Hendricks et al., 2001; Graves et al., 2003; Shaw and Franken, 2003).
Beginning at the first study home visit and at each subsequent visit, age appropriate sleep hygiene to promote longer sleep duration is discussed.

However, infections with large bacterial loads and of considerable duration may promote development of meningitis.
Finally, investigators should use sedative agents shown to promote arousability, reduce ventilation duration, and attenuate delirium [ 26, 27, 40].
This would keep acid in the esophagus for a longer duration and promote acid reaching a higher level [ 45, 47].
