BEYOND BALANCE: Sleep Disorders and the Vestibular System
Ironically, the system attributed with helping humans manage motion also plays a role in sleep. Here are two studies: Rajagopalan, A., Jinu, K. V., Sailesh, K. S., Mishra, S., Reddy, U. K., & Mukkadan, J. K. (2017). Understanding the links between vestibular and limbic systems regulating emotions. Journal of Natural Science, Biology, and Medicine, 8(1), 11–15. LINK.
