claimIn the review 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective', sleep behaviors are defined as the actions individuals take that promote or impair the quality of their sleep.

claimK.S. and P.M. were responsible for the overall design and direction of the review titled 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective,' and all authors contributed to writing and reviewing the manuscript.

claimLongitudinal intraindividual measurement studies that cross age-spans provide a more complete understanding of changing relationships over time compared to cross-sectional studies, according to the review 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective'.

claimSleep patterns exhibit the most dynamic age-related changes in duration and timing during the developmental period from infancy through late adolescence, according to 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective'.

claimLongitudinal intraindividual measurement studies allow researchers to generate causal conclusions regarding how sleep influences health outcomes and help identify malleable factors for intervention across the lifespan, as stated in 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective'.

claimIn the review 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective', sleep patterns are defined as the natural cycle of wake and sleep over 24 hours, regulated by the circadian rhythm and neurobiological systems responsible for sleep/wake transitions.

referenceThe article 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective' by K.C. Simon, C. Cadle, A.E. Shuster, et al. was published in Current Sleep Medicine Reports, volume 11, issue 7, in 2025, with the DOI 10.1007/s40675-025-00322-2.

claimIn the review 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective', sleep neurophysiology is defined as the macro and microstructure characteristics of sleep across a night, such as the organization of sleep stages and specific electrophysiological events.

claimThe authors of 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective' suggest that sleep neurophysiology is the most effective domain among brain/body physiology, sleep behaviors, and sleep patterns for producing quantifiable early predictors and objective measures of efficacy for sleep-based interventions.

perspectiveThe authors of the article 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective' propose that longitudinal burst-designed studies are necessary to advance the field of sleep research from simple descriptors to mechanistic insights by capturing quantifiers across sleep domains in relation to age, cognition, and health.

claimThe authors of 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective' argue that existing literature on age-associated trajectories and interactions across sleep dimensions is often limited by a reliance on cross-sectional or two-wave longitudinal studies, which restricts the ability to examine temporal ordering nuances between sleep and health.

measurementNewborn sleep is initially polyphasic and occurs over multiple distributed bouts, typically totaling up to 18 hours of sleep across a 24-hour period, according to 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective'.

claimThe authors of 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective' distinguish sleep patterns from sleep behaviors by noting that patterns refer to endogenous factors impacting sleep, while behaviors refer to external actions an individual takes (such as sleep scheduling) and external factors (such as neighborhood safety) that influence sleep.

claimThe work titled 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective' was supported by NIH grant K08 HD107161 awarded to K.S.

claimThe authors of the article 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective' declare that they have no competing interests.

claimAge-associated changes in sleep duration and timing occur across the human lifespan and are linked to underlying neurobiological and physical maturation, as well as environmental factors, according to 'Sleep Across the Lifespan: A Neurobehavioral Perspective'.
