Abstract

The overview of sleep and sleep disorders in The Netherlands is used to demonstrate the prevalence of “social jet lag”, insufficient sleep and sleep disorders. A restricted overview on neuroanatomical connections related to the sleep–wake cycle is given and synapse remodelling during sleep is indicated. Head and neck do move during sleep, which is studied and neck myoclonus is described. The position of the head seems directly related to the removal of “brain waste”.

Cetacean sleep: An unusual form of mammalian sleep. We hypothesize that three factors – the need to come to the surface to breathe, more efficient monitoring of the environment and thermogenesis – may have been important in the evolution of the observable cetacean sleep phenomenology: sleeping while in motion, uni-hemispheric slow wave sleep, absence of REM sleep, and sleeping with one eye open (Lyamin et al. 2008)
