The Effects of Self-Guided Meditation and Napping on Memory Consolidation in Humans
… EEG monitoring) filled with either (A) napping; (B) active-waking (watching a video); or (C) quiet-waking (self-guided meditation). The results of the current study suggested that memory consolidation may not be a sleep-specific- phenomenon. In fact, quiet wakefulness appeared to be more …

Effect of Zolpidem, Zaleplon, and Ramelton on cognitive functioning after awakening from napping
Non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnotics and melatonin receptor agonist hypnotics induce the onset of sleep and are primarily prescribed for the treatment of insomnia. Although, non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnotic drugs zaleplon (Sonata) and zolpidem (Ambien) are not chemically like benzodiazepines, …

Fatigue Mitigation Effects of En-Route Napping on Commercial Airline Pilots Flying International Routes
… what extent the maximum fatigue states prior to napping, as self-accessed by commercial airline pilots flying international route segments, were affected by a number of other common flight assignment related factors. The study also examined to what extent the availability of scheduled en-route …

The role of daytime napping in sleepiness and cognitive function in 24-70 year olds /
Daytime napping improves well-being and performance for young adults. The benefits of napping in older adults should be investigated because they have fragmented nocturnal sleep, cognitive declines, and more opportunity to nap. In addition, experience with napping might influence the benefits of …

Sleep/wake patterns and key predictors for sleep impairment in patient-caregiver dyads:: a longitudinal observational study among women with early stage breast cancer and their informal caregivers during chemotherapy treatment
… differences in daily disturbance, daytime napping duration, total sleep time, and overall sleep/wake impairment at pre-treatment. At CThC4, rates of change in sleep latency and daytime napping duration were also similar. In exploratory analyses, increased CRACB, poor SH, and SDSTRB …
