Sleep quality isn't just about duration: this model shows that brain activity patterns during sleep (especially abnormal beta-band intrusions) determine how rested you feel, which could help explain why some insomnia patients sleep normally but feel terrible.
DyssomniaNN is a computational model that simulates human sleep disorders by combining biological sleep regulation mechanisms with spiking neural networks. It reveals why some people feel unrefreshed despite sleeping normal hours—like paradoxical insomnia patients whose brains show abnormal activity during sleep—and accurately reproduces brain wave patterns seen in real patients.
