Sleep Recovery from Physical Exercise: A New Understanding of Brain Responses to Stress

Abstract

The effects of physical exercise on human sleep (exercise in temperate conditions, in the cold and in hot climates) are analyzed and discussed in comparison to studies on sedentary sleep in extreme environments (tropical and polar climates), and on sleep in rats after stressful events (sleep deprivation). An attempt to interprete the stress-induced sleep changes is developed, involving a "central" response and a "general" stress response. These responses ("diachronic" or "synchronic") are also examined in relation to chronobiological mechanisms.
