  • This article is new enough and long enough. I have tweaked ALT0 which had an error. Either hook could be used, and I have added ALT1a which is less technical. Both hooks are cited to Mallick's Biodata page. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:36, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but noted that the source doesn't make a direct connection between loss of REM sleep and the production of noradrenaline. The source says that brain excitability is increased through the production of noradrenaline, but doesn't say what's increasing the noradrenaline. Yoninah (talk) 21:30, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Rephrased the hook and made corrections in the article.

@Yoninah and Cwmhiraeth: Original hook also may be considered. Thanks. jojo@nthony (talk) 06:57, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

I don't really understand Yoninah's problem. The source I am looking at states "Studies from his lab showed that REM sleep-loss-induced increased-brain-excitability is due to activation of neuronal Na-K ATPase by increased noradrenaline;" It is not necessary for the hook to establish what's increasing the noradrenaline, but merely that the increase is triggering increased brain excitability. I am happy with any of the hooks, but should not ALT1b use the word "excitability" rather than "excitement"? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:59, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
  • OK. ALT1b correctly paraphrases the information in the source. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:13, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
