Other Comments:
Authors focus on the neurochemistry of brain circuitries involved in sleep and wake systems plus the interrelation between sleep parameters and cognitive functions. The review was well written, structured and illustrated. Future directions were poin out. Authors pay attention that data analyzed in the article were very important for fundamental research and for study of different pathological states, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Schizophrenia, Depression, Anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders which have impaired sleep . These impairments are partly resulted from disrupted neurochemistry in the brain leading to an inefficient sleep and inappropriate vigilance with incompetent cognitive functions.

A large interconnected netwrok involving neurotransmitters, hormones, genetics, and neuroanatomy play a role in the sleep-wake system and REM/non-REM transitions. Investigating this complicated system as a whole picture instead of individual parts is critical to further develop the cognitive neuroscience of sleep and its affects on daily life.
No, but they are a review of the research within the past decade.
Yes
The references support the claims, however, additional, up-to-date references should be added if they author were to revisit a review of this subject
