Sleep Is Compromised in −12° Head Down Tilt Position

Sleep Is Compromised in −12° Head Down Tilt Position

Recent studies are elucidating the interrelation between sleep, cranial perfusion, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation. Head down tilt (HDT) as a simulation of microgravity reduces cranial perfusion. Therefore, our aim was to assess whether HDT is affecting sleep (clinicaltrials.gov; identifie...
