Talk:Sleep

message: I noticed that the section on naps is very short and is greatly lacking. The information is very limited and has not come from recent sources. Adding more information could greatly benefit readers. Alexa K Taylor (talk) 21:02, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nap section  

message: I think this article would benefit some more information regarding sleep disorders especially since the lead contains more information about them then the actual sleep disorder section. I think the article could benefit with a parasomnia section including night terrors, enuresis, sleep talking, added to the somnambulism section. Saramouser (talk) 03:42, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sleep Disorders 

message: On the last line of the first paragraph in "Drugs and diet", there is a minor spelling mistake on the word "natural" highlighted bellow with brackets.
Change :
"Interestingly, the endogenously produced drug gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is capable of producing high quality sleep that is indistinguishable from [natual] sleep architecture in humans."

message: Remove the sentence: "Alpha and beta waves are the only waves seen when a person is in an awake state." as this is not true (see source). The attached source shows that other waves, such as gamma waves can be present when a person is in an awake state, and therefore alpha waves and beta waves are not the only waves.
Quote from source: "Nearly 40 years later another group [82] recorded gamma waves (35–40 Hz) from many different areas of awake humans, including the visual cortex, especially during selective attention."

message: When searching via Google Search the query "when was sleeping invented," News-Medical.net's article on the history of sleep appears with the highlighted segment "Around 450 BC." Where would this best be placed in the Sleep article?  Xan ✨ talk 21:17, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Sleep was not "invented" or "discovered" so that kind of wording would be inappropriate. A history section might be good (like there is for blood) that just covers science history related to our understanding of sleep. D1551D3N7 (talk) 16:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention of the invention? 

message: The introduction has not introduced all the subtopics that are in this article. There are many topics that emerge in the text without an introduction of them. The introduction should be revised and be able to convey all the information that is being presented in this article. Kyliek3 (talk) 04:08, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introduction  

message: Sleep "consumes fully a third of our lives—approximately 25 years in the average lifetime" (Kandel et al. 2021, p. 1080).  Any reason this shouldn't be added to the article? Viriditas (talk) 22:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Time devoted to sleep 

message: * 
Not sure this is even true. Many sources recommend 45 minutes, and that's what I do.  I've rarely had sleep inertia, and when I do, it isn't due to napping, it's due to other issues. Viriditas (talk) 22:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Optimal nap time 

message: "Sleep health can be improved through implementing good sleep hygiene habits. Having good sleep hygiene can help to improve your physical and mental health by providing your body with the necessary rejuvenation only restful sleep can provide. Some ways to improve sleep health include going to sleep at consistent times every night, avoiding any electronic devices such as televisions in the bedroom, getting adequate exercise throughout your day, and avoiding caffeine in the hours before going to sleep. Another way to greatly improve sleep hygiene is by creating a peaceful and relaxing sleep environment. Sleeping in a dark and clean room with things like a white noise maker can help facilitate restful sleep."
This paragraph reads like an advertisement or medical advice rather than encyclopedic information. Shouldn't it be removed? 72.70.58.51 (talk) 23:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
