Sleep phase may reduce anxiety in people with PTSD: Study
Washington [US], May 4 (ANI): A recent study suggests that sleep spindles, which are small bursts of brain activity detected by EEG during one phase of sleep, may regulate anxiety in persons suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The study shines a light on the role of spindles in alleviating anxiety in PTSD as well as confirms their established role in the transfer of new information to longer-term memory
