The effects of body posture on resting electroencephalographic activity in sleep-deprived subjects
Abstract
Objective This study examined the effects of posture on the resting electroencephalographic (EEG) activity of sleep-deprived volunteers.Methods EEG data were collected under two conditions at 13 separate time points. Testing was performed while subjects remained in a normal seated position and then repeated while subjects stood upright.Results Results indicated that delta and theta activity progressively increased as a function of sleep loss, and that standing upright attenuated this effect.Conclusions These results suggest that an upright posture increases EEG arousal and may be useful for counteracting fatigue in sleep-deprived individuals.

Being in a supine position is a sleep-permissive condition, whereas being upright is a wake-promoting condition.
“Being in a supine position is being in a sleep-permissive condition, whereas being upright is being in a wake-promoting condition [2, 13, 14, 18, 49, 62].”
From Sleep, vigilance, and thermosensitivity (2012) · cites this paper as [14]
Sleep onset and maintenance depend on sleep-permissive and wake-promoting conditions such as posture.
“In real life, sleep onset and maintenance also depend on whether some seemingly trivial yet crucial conditions are met, like having attained an appropriate posture.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
