> We investigated whether exposure to the odor of extracted cedar essence (CE)
> has (i) an influence on spontaneous activity and sleep-wake states of rats
> and (ii) a sleep-promoting effect on human daytime nap after taking an
> ordinary night's sleep. In rats exposed to CE, spontaneous activities and
> amount of wake were significantly decreased, while the amount of non-rapid
> eye movement (NREM) sleep was significantly increased. In human daytime nap,
> NREM sleep stage 2 latency was significantly shortened after exposure to CE.
What consequences does this have?
Could someone translate this for the non-medics?
