How can you use “wakefulness” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The continuum from wakefulness to sleep involves a progressive decrease in the alpha band followed by increased activity in the beta, theta and delta bands.

  • Although past studies have shown that extended periods of wakefulness cause changes in gene expression (for review see [ 15 ] ), no causal relationship between changes in gene expression and sleep homeostasis has been identified.

  • Homeostatic and circadian mechanisms interact to determine the duration and quality of sleep and wakefulness [ 3 4 5 ] . Homeostatic regulation of sleep can still be observed in animals that lack circadian rhythms after lesioning of the SCN [ 6 7 8 9 ] , suggesting that circadian rhythms and sleep homeostasis are independent processes.

  • We tested the assumption of a relationship between delta power and the sleep-wake history by using a mathematical method that predicts the level of EEG delta power occurring in individual NREMS bouts based on the 42 h sequence of 10-sec behavioral state scores for individual animals [ 10 ] . With this analytical tool, the time constants of the increasing delta power during wakefulness and its decrease during NREMS are estimated.

  • Homeostatic regulation of sleep can be quantified objectively after a period of enforced wakefulness (i.e.
