The study found that activating these cells kept mice awake for hours when they would normally be resting, without making them any sleepier. The researchers said their findings open up the possibility of future interventions that could target astrocytes to mitigate the negative consequences of prolonged wakefulness. which would benefit the productivity, safety, and health of shift workers and others who work long or odd hours.

New research led by Penn State reveals that cardiovascular health measures, including heart rate and blood pressure, worsen over the course of the week when sleep is restricted to five hours per night, and attempting to catch up on sleep over the weekend is insufficient to return these measures to normal.
