Sleep-wake disturbances can predict recurrent events in stroke survivors
(Vienna, Sunday, 24 May, 2020) Stroke survivors suffering from the burden of combined sleep-wake disturbances are more likely to have another stroke or serious cardio- or cerebrovascular event compared to those without sleep-wake disturbances, according to the results of a…

Singaporeans suffering from sleep disorders may have help from mechanism regulating biological clock
Biological clocks are an organism’s innate timing device. It is composed of specific proteins called clock proteins, which interact in cells throughout the body. Biological clocks produce and regulate circadian rhythms – the physical, mental, and behavioural changes that follow…
