Charting infant sleep cycle development using actigraphy: Longitudinal evidence for cycle lengthening within the first year of life from 35,000 hours of sleep

This study uses actigraphy to track sleep cycle development in infants, finding that cycle length increases by ~10 minutes from 3 to 12 months of age.

How Awakenings Shape Dream Recall: A Multilevel Study

This study investigates how nocturnal awakenings influence dream recall, finding that specific awakening characteristics, not just frequency, affect different types of dream recall.

Tracing infant sleep neurophysiology longitudinally from 3 to 6 months: EEG insights into brain development

This study tracks EEG changes in infant sleep from 3 to 6 months, showing regional and frequency-specific maturation patterns linked to developmental outcomes.

Stool Dynamics and the Developing Gut Microbiome During Infancy

This study examines how stool timing, sleep, and feeding affect the gut microbiome composition in infants, finding associations between longer intervals since last defecation and increased microbial diversity.

Dynamic stomach-brain electrical coupling in human sleep

This study shows that gastric electrical rhythms during sleep are synchronized with cortical oscillations and predict memory recall and sleep quality.

Rhythms of Early Life: Gut Microbiota Rhythmicity and Circadian Maturation in infants

This study examines the relationship between gut microbiota rhythmicity and sleep-wake pattern maturation in infants, finding associations between microbial oscillations and circadian development.

Inducing lucid dreaming with multisensory stimulation: a preregistered multi-center study

This study tests a combined sensory and cognitive approach to induce lucid dreaming, finding higher rates of signal-verified lucid dreams with sensory cues compared to sham conditions.

An Infant Sleep Electroencephalographic Marker of Thalamocortical Connectivity Predicts Behavioral Outcome in Late Infancy

This paper identifies spindle density in infant sleep EEG as a biomarker predicting later behavioral outcomes, while other features like slow wave slope and coupling are not predictive.

Bedtime to the brain: How infants sleep habits intertwine with sleep neurophysiology

This paper links infants' sleep habits measured by actimetry with neurophysiological features from EEG in 6-month-olds, showing associations between sleep patterns and brain activity metrics.

Which are the central aspects of infant sleep? Thedynamic of sleep composites across infancy

The paper identifies five sleep composites through PCA of infant sleep variables and shows their dynamic changes and associations with development.

Actimetry in infant sleep research: an approach to facilitate comparability

This paper improves the comparability of infant sleep measurements using actimetry by standardizing computational methods and incorporating parent-reported diaries.

The effect of dream report collection and dream incorporation on memory consolidation during sleep

This study examines how dream report collection and task incorporation during sleep affect memory consolidation, finding that NREM sleep dreams are linked to improved task performance.
