Mice sleep 6 hours less via brain cell tweak, feel alert next day
Normally, staying awake for extended time periods leads to the need for extra sleep. But researchers have just found that activating astrocyte cells in mice caused the rodents to stay awake for six hours longer than usual, with no noticeable sleep debt. The finding could help boost the productivity, safety and health of shift workers or other people who keep unusual hours.
