About Babies includes sections about infant temperament, crying and fussing, recognition of tired cues, sleep needs, establishing feed-play-sleep routines of daily care and sustainable settling strategies.
We find that selective activation of VLPOGAL neurons increases NREM sleep and their inhibition decreases NREM sleep, thereby establishing a pivotal role for VLPOGAL neurons in sleep promotion.
The Complementary Learning Systems CLSS) theory proposes a role for sleep in establishing long-term neocortical representations of such knowledge: The hippocampus rapidly stores new information while the organism is awake, which it then replays during sleep, allowing the slow-learning cortex to gradually incorporate the new information into existing knowledge structures5.
Set the mood for sleep by establishing a wind-down routine with things that make you relax.

Ensure the foundations for promoting good sleep are established by supporting a consistent bedtime routine and following advice around "good sleep hygiene".
It is only when typical symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea became apparent or progressed that polysomnography was requested and the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea established.
Basic and clinical approaches of sleep research established neurobiological models into the underlying pathophysiology associated with psychiatric disorders.
