In a paper published in npj Biological Timing and Sleep, researchers analyzed the mathematical structure of the two-process model (2PM) of sleep regulation, which was first proposed in the 1980s. The ...

Wonder why babies nap on some days but not on others? Or why older people wake up earlier? Mathematical modelling of sleep regulation provides some surprising answers to these and other questions, ...

This model gives us hope that sleep problems can be better understood and tackled. By using maths, we can see how small changes in light, routine or biology shift our sleep, and test practical ways to ...
