Article Synopsis
- The study examined how simulated microgravity, through a 30-day head-down-tilt bed rest, affects sleep regulation and the role of the adenosine biomarker in brain connectivity during deep sleep (NREM3).
- It involved 23 healthy male participants who were either in a control group or engaged in a reactive sledge (RSL) jump countermeasure to explore its effects on sleep quality and brain connectivity.
- Results showed that microgravity conditions impaired adenosine levels and NREM3 brain connectivity, but the RSL intervention helped mitigate these sleep disturbances, suggesting its potential usefulness for maintaining sleep health during space missions.
