Dissociating the intensity and phase origins of sleepiness through a threshold-distance model of sleep-wake dynamics
Yi Yao, Zijun Ning, Dongping Yang, Chenggui Yao
The paper resolves the ambiguity in sleepiness prediction by decomposing it into intensity and phase axes using a threshold-distance model, linking sleepiness to both homeostatic pressure and circadian modulation.
