The argument, link by link
Instrumented studies and a systematic review motivate measuring ventilation and carbon dioxide during different forms of digital engagement.
Does high-arousal digital use produce a mismatch after metabolism is measured?
Animal and cellular work supplies a possible arousal-to-respiration bridge. It does not measure an orexin dose from a screen session.
How much of the respiratory effect of digital arousal is orexin-mediated?
The six-hour passive-hyperventilation experiment separates changes in response slope from the alkalosis-related shift.
What dose and duration of real-world exposure create carryover into sleep?
Experimental and sleep-physiology studies motivate measuring reserve, controller responsiveness, and feedback behavior.
Do those variables change as the proposed digital exposure accumulates?
Cardiopulmonary-coupling research identifies a stability dimension associated with slow-wave expression.
How much functional restoration is lost to sub-threshold instability?
The framework connects acute mismatch to persistent neural and, at sustained exposure, biochemical adaptation.
Can the full exposure-to-carryover sequence be measured prospectively?
A continuous moderation hypothesis derived from the author’s changing response to pre-bed exposure.
Does a matched evening challenge produce less instability after measured respiratory improvement?
The revised core retains a sleep-mediated emotional pathway, without requiring direct amygdala acid sensing.
Does the measured sequence from respiratory change to sleep to emotion mediate outcomes?
