Sleep Science

The SLEEP SCIENCE journal (ISSN 1984-0659 print version) is the official organization of Associação Brasileira de Sono (ABS – Brazilian Association of Sleep) and Federação Latino-Americana de Sociedades de Sono (FLASS – Latin American Federation of Sleep Societies) for publication of scientific papers concerning sleep, chronobiology, and related topics. After being approved by the Editorial Board, all articles will be evaluated by two or more qualified Reviewers, in a blind process. Articles that fail to present merit, have significant errors in methodology or are not in accordance with the editorial policy of the journal will be directly rejected by the Editorial Board, with no recourse. Manuscripts that have not been published elsewhere except in abstract form, on any aspect of sleep and chronobiology and both in basic and clinical areas will be considered. The accuracy of all concepts presented in the manuscript is the exclusive responsibility of the authors. The journal reserves the right to make stylistic, grammatical and other alterations to the manuscript. Manuscripts must not be concurrently submitted to any other publication, print or electronic. Articles may be written in English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these) and should state that the protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institution where the research was carried out. All studies involving human subjects should inform that written consent has been obtained from all subjects (individually).
