Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Disorder
Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Non-rapid eye movement sleep, also known as quiescent sleep, is, collectively, sleep stages 1–3, previously known as stages 1–4. Rapid eye movement sleep is not included. There are distinct electroencephalographic and other characteristics seen in each stage.

- Pharmacological enhancement of slow-wave activity at an early disease stage improves cognition and reduces amyloid pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's diseaseby Sedef Kollarik on January 20, 2025
INTRODUCTION: Improving sleep in murine Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with reduced brain amyloidosis. However, the window of opportunity for successful sleep-targeted interventions, regarding the reduction in pathological hallmarks and related cognitive performance, remains poorly characterized.
- Sleep structure of short-term insomnia disorder with mild cognitive impairment in older adults and their correlation with cognitive function: a case-control studyby Jinkun Zeng on January 20, 2025
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the potential of PSG in the clinical assessment of cognitive function and underscores the need for targeted interventions to improve sleep quality in this vulnerable population.
- Anything but small: Microarousals stand at the crossroad between noradrenaline signaling and key sleep functionsby Anita Lüthi on January 14, 2025
Continuous sleep restores the brain and body, whereas fragmented sleep harms cognition and health. Microarousals (MAs), brief (3- to 15-s-long) wake intrusions into sleep, are clinical markers for various sleep disorders. Recent rodent studies show that MAs during healthy non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep are driven by infraslow fluctuations of noradrenaline (NA) in coordination with electrophysiological rhythms, vasomotor activity, cerebral blood volume, and glymphatic flow. MAs are hence...
- Is rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder a marker of Parkinson's disease severity?by Pérola de Oliveira on January 10, 2025
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by motor and non-motor features. There are several proposed clinical markers to define disease severity. However, if rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is associated with worse prognosis of both motor and non-motor findings in PD is unknown.
