The 11 pages that link to Sleep-wake cycle, each with the reason it gives.

• HistamineNarrower topic: Histaminergic neurons help maintain waking, making this cycle a major physiological context.

• Suprachiasmatic nucleusRelated: The nucleus helps align sleep and wake timing with the environmental light cycle.

• Jet lagRelated: Its misalignment with local schedules produces a prominent part of jet lag.

• Sleep homeostasisRelated: Homeostatic pressure helps set sleep timing alongside the circadian system.

• Locus coeruleusRelated: Locus-coeruleus activity is generally higher during wakefulness and low during REM sleep.

• Pineal glandRelated: Melatonin helps signal sleep timing without acting as the sole controller of sleep.

• Major depressive episodeRelated: Disrupted rhythms can accompany episodes and are targets of some treatments.

• RamelteonRelated: Ramelteon's target system helps regulate when sleep begins.

• OrexinNarrower topic: Orexin stabilizes the transition into and maintenance of wakefulness within this cycle.

• Smith–Magenis syndromeRelated: The syndrome commonly disrupts nighttime sleep and daytime alertness.

• Sleep in animalsRelated: It describes the state transitions that sleep mechanisms control.
