- mice were kept awake with stimulating activity
- in this sleep deprived situation were more sensitive to “noxious stimuli”
- a nap relieved this
- Ibuprofen had no effect on the pain, but caffeine reduced it.
Comment – apparently this does not work in those not rested because they had frequent wakenings (fragmented sleep). However if shift work or whatever is keeping you up, then a nap or coffee might help you through it all. air max 97 air max 97
