SWS rebound is lengthening and increasing frequency and depth of SWS sleep which occurs after periods of sleep deprivation. A longer duration of time spent in SWS, as well as a significant shortening of NREM3 and NREM4 latencies, are common signs of SWS rebound, as a study on a selective slow-wave sleep deprivation has shown.[1]

Sleep-onset SWS

The slow-wave sleep latency shortens, which is also known as SOSWS or sleep-onset SWS.
