Earthquake-like Brain-wave Bursts Found to be Essential for Healthy Sleep

Findings link healthy sleep to brain-wave bursts that mathematically mimic earthquakes. New research in rats shows that cortical arousals and brief awakenings during sleep exhibit non-equilibrium dynamics and complex organization across time scales necessary for spontaneous sleep-stage transitions and for maintaining healthy sleep.
