The sleep-dependent consolidation of procedural but not spatial memories may be impaired among patients with NT1. Therefore, future studies are warranted to examine whether sleep improvement, for example, using sodium...



Conclusion: The sleep-dependent consolidation of procedural but not spatial memories may be impaired among patients with NT1. Therefore, future studies are warranted to examine whether sleep improvement, for example, using sodium oxybate, can aid the sleep-dependent formation of procedural memories among NT1 patients.

Healthy sleep is essential for physical, mental and emotional health. However, only 50% of the population report achieving regular adequate sleep. Causes of inadequate sleep include work, family disruptors, lifestyle...


Conclusion: Currently, there is insufficient evidence to support the routine use of medicinal cannabis as an effective and safe treatment option for any sleep disorder. Nevertheless, emerging evidence is promising and warrants further investigation using standardized cannabinoid products and validated quantitative measurement techniques.

Modafinil (MOD) is a wakefulness promoter used to treat sleep disorders such as narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea. Its action mechanism consists in inhibiting dopamine (DAT) and norepinephrine (NET) transporters,...


Conclusion: Results suggest that serotonergic activity enhances modafinil's psychostimulant effects.
