Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation01:13

Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation

963
Insufficient sleep refers to not getting the recommended amount of sleep for optimal functioning, even if it's just slightly less than needed. Sleep insufficiency may occur due to lifestyle choices, such as staying up late for social events or work, resulting in routinely getting less sleep than required. For example, consistently sleeping 6 hours when the body needs 7-9 hours can lead to cumulative effects on health and well-being.
Sleep deprivation is a more severe form of sleep loss...

Stages of Sleep01:22

Stages of Sleep

1.5K
Sleep progresses through distinct stages, each characterized by specific brain wave patterns and physiological responses ranging from wakefulness to stages of non-rapid eye movement, known as non-REM, to rapid eye movement, referred to as REM. Understanding these stages helps in recognizing how sleep supports various bodily and cognitive functions.
Before sleep begins, in wakefulness, the brain exhibits primarily beta waves, which are high in frequency and low in amplitude, indicating alertness...

Understanding Sleep01:11

Understanding Sleep

1.6K
Sleep, an essential biological state, involves significant reductions in physical activity, sensory awareness, and interaction with the environment. This complex physiological process is primarily regulated by specific brain regions, notably the hypothalamus and pons, which govern the sleep-wake cycle or circadian rhythm.
The circadian rhythm, a nearly 24-hour cycle, is deeply influenced by environmental light cues. Light exposure directly affects the hypothalamus, which in turn regulates...

Sleep Apnea01:21

Sleep Apnea

599
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops intermittently during sleep, often leading to significant health issues. Each episode can last from 10 to 20 seconds or more and is frequently accompanied by a brief arousal from sleep. This disturbance, largely unnoticed by the individual, can lead to severe daytime fatigue. Commonly, individuals seek help after being informed by their partners about loud snoring and noticeable breathing pauses during sleep.
The condition is more prevalent among...

Sleepwalking and Sleep Talking01:17

Sleepwalking and Sleep Talking

1.1K
Somnambulism, commonly known as sleepwalking, involves individuals engaging in activities ranging from simple walking to more complex behaviors such as driving. Sleepwalking typically occurs during the slow-wave sleep stages 3 and 4 early in the night when the person is not dreaming, contradicting the myth that sleepwalkers are acting out their dreams.
Factors that increase the likelihood of sleepwalking include sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption. Contrary to common beliefs, it is safe...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

463
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Summary

Recent research on Sleeping Beauties cited in patents (SB-SNPRs) shows a trend reversal around 1998. The time lag for patent citations is shortening, with earlier awakening by technological relevance.

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Patent Analysis
  • Scientific Impact Studies

Background:

  • Sleeping Beauties (SBs) are highly cited papers with delayed impact.
  • Understanding the citation patterns and awakening of SBs in patents is crucial for assessing scientific and technological influence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate recent trends in Sleeping Beauties cited in patents (SB-SNPRs).
  • To analyze the time lag between publication and patent citation for SBs.
  • To explore the nature of entities ('princes') awakening SBs and their relation to technological importance.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a dataset of Sleeping Beauties cited in patents (SB-SNPRs).
  • Trend analysis of the relative number of SBs over time.
  • Examination of the time lag between SB publication and first patent citation.
  • Categorization of awakening entities as 'technological' or 'scientific' princes.

Main Results:

  • The increasing trend of SB-SNPRs relative numbers ceased around 1998.
  • The time lag between SB publication and patent citation has decreased in recent years.
  • SBs are increasingly awakened earlier by technological relevance rather than purely scientific interest.
  • Early technological recognition may prevent papers from becoming SBs.
  • Scientific impact, measured by patent citations, is not always correlated with technological importance.

Conclusions:

  • The landscape of scientific discoveries transitioning to technological applications is evolving, with earlier recognition of technological relevance.
  • The traditional concept of Sleeping Beauties may be shifting due to accelerated application-oriented research.
  • Inventor-author self-citation rarely triggers the scientific awakening of Sleeping Beauties.
