Impact Factor

2016 Journal Impact Factor is the ratio of the number of citations achieved in the year 2016 based on Google Search and Google Scholar Citations to the total number of articles published in the last two years i.e. in 2014 and 2015. Impact factor measures the quality of the Journal. If ‘X’ is the total number of articles published in 2014 and 2015, and ‘Y’ is the number of times these articles were cited in indexed journals during 2016 then, impact factor = Y/X.

Physiology of Sleep & Wakefulness

Sleep is broadly divided into two types- rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM or non-REM) sleep. Physiology of sleep involves the study of brain mechanisms which control wakefulness.

Electroencephalogram

An electroencephalogram is a test that is conducted to measure and record the electrical activity of brain. Special sensors like electrodes are attached to head and hook to a computer that records brains electrical activity. Electroencephalogram Helps in detecting certain neurological disorders such as epilepsy.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a therapy that uses a machine to help a person suffering with obstructive sleep apnea. It helps the person to breathe more easily during sleep. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine increases air pressure in your throat so that your airway doesn't collapse when you breathe in.

Behavioral Sleep

Behavioral Sleep is also called as dream-enacting behaviour that involves abnormal behaviour during the sleep phase with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. It is characterised with unpleasant dreams with vocal sounds.

Night Terrors

Night terrors (sleep terrors) are a sleep disorder in which a person quickly wakes from sleep in a terrified state. Night terrors typically occur in children. Children from age groups of three are affecting more commonly.
