Inducing NREM-Like Neuronal Patterns Mimics Sleep Benefits | Lifespan Research Institute (opens in new tab)

Scientists have “faked” sleep in mice by artificially creating the on/off neuronal firing pattern similar to that seen in non-REM sleep. This produced sleep-like effects, including improved learning memory [1]. Can sleep be emulated? Getting proper amounts and quality of sleep is one of the best things for health and longevity [2], but in modern
