Abstract:
In the past few decades, advances in understanding sleep-wake neurophysiology have occurred hand-in-hand with advances in mathematical modeling of sleep and wake. In this review, we summarize recent updates in modeling the timing and durations of sleep and wake, the underlying neurophysiology of sleep and wake, and the application of these models in understanding cognition and disease. Throughout, we highlight the role modeling has played in developing our understanding of sleep and its underlying mechanisms. We present open questions and controversies in the field and propose the utility of individualized models of sleep for precision sleep medicine.Keywords:

By the time children are 5 years old more of their life will have been spent asleep than awake. Sleep medicine is therefore especially relevant in paediatrics. However, one recent survey showed that paediatricians’ knowledge of sleep medicine is poor and that few paediatricians enquire about sleep as part of their general consultation.1

Sleep, like nutrition and physical activity, has been found to affect nearly all aspects of health, both individual and societal. Despite this, it has long been neglected in the medical literature until relatively recent times, and, despite its importance, sleep deprivation and impaired sleep are pervasive in modern life. In this chapter, different perspectives on sleep are discussed, including historical views of sleep and alternative sleep patterns. The development of sleep as a medical specialty is described, as are limitations to the conventional medical approach to sleep. The foundations of a truly integrative approach to sleep are enumerated.

Sleep disorders involve problems with the quality, timing and amount of sleep. Sleep medicine is a medical specialty or subspecialty devoted to the diagnosis and therapy of sleep disturbances and disorders.

Understanding how and why human cognition has the properties it does is one of science’s fundamental questions. Current thinking in Cognitive Science has delineated two candidate approaches that differ in how they address the question of the relationship between sensory-motor and cognitive processes. In this paper, we add to this discussion by arguing that this question is properly phrased as a developmental question and that ultimately to understand the properties of human cognition we must ask how does human cognition come to have these properties. We conclude that because development weaves brains, bodies and environments into cognition, cognition is inexorably linked to processes of perceiving and acting and inseparable from them.
