human brain performance in realms no less important than judgment, problem solving, creativity, memory, and mood is powerfully modulated by brain state, particularly the underlying level of alertness. The latter varies in a predictable way across the 24-h day under the influence of both circadian (

Processes Underlying the Regulation of the Sleep-Wake Cycle
TLDR
There is evidence that the circadian and sleep-wakedependent aspects of sleep regulation are based on separate mechanisms.
Suprachiasmatic nuclei lesions in the rat: alterations in sleep circadian rhythms.
Sleep rhythmicity and homeostasis in mice with targeted disruption of mPeriod genes.
TLDR
Although mPer1 and mPer2 represent key elements of the molecular clock in the SCN, they are not required for homeostatic regulation of the daily amounts of waking, slow-wave sleep (SWS), or REM sleep.
Adenosine: a mediator of the sleep-inducing effects of prolonged wakefulness.
TLDR
The data reported here suggest that the major criteria for a neural sleep factor mediating the somnogenic effects of prolonged wakefulness are satisfied by adenosine, a neuromodulator whose extracellular concentration increases with brain metabolism and which, in vitro, inhibits basal forebrain cholinergic neurons.
Complex interaction of the sleep-wake cycle and circadian phase modulates mood in healthy subjects.
TLDR
Results indicate that, in healthy young subjects, subjective mood is influenced by a complex and nonadditive interaction of circadian phase and duration of prior wakefulness, and the nature of this interaction is such that moderate changes in the timing of the sleep-wake cycle may have profound effects on subsequent mood.
CONTRIBUTION OF CIRCADIAN PHYSIOLOGY AND SLEEP HOMEOSTASIS TO AGE-RELATED CHANGES IN HUMAN SLEEP
TLDR
The internal circadian phase advance of awakening, as well as the age-related reduction in sleep consolidation, appears related to an age- related reduction in the promotion of sleep by the circadian pacemaker during the biological night in combination with a reduced homeostatic pressure for sleep.
Melatonin, light and chronobiological disorders.
TLDR
With this assay, it is shown that in rats and in humans, plasma melatonin is exclusively derived from the pineal gland and propranolol and clonidine reduce melatonin levels in human.
Coordination of circadian timing in mammals
TLDR
Circadian rhythms are generated by one of the most ubiquitous and well-studied timing systems and are tamed by a master clock in the brain, which coordinates tissue-specific rhythms according to light input it receives from the outside world.
A role for cryptochromes in sleep regulation
TLDR
These results indicate that mice lacking cryptochromes are not simply a genetic model of circadian arrhythmicity in rodents and functionally implicate cryptochromaes in the homeostatic regulation of sleep.
Minireview: Sleep regulation in adenosine A2A receptor-deficient mice
TLDR
A2AR is found to be important in sleep regulation by using several A1R and A2AR agonists, including N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA) and 2-(4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenylethylamino)- adenosine-5′- N -ethylcarboxamideadenosines (CGS 21680).
