We review current models of consciousness in the context of wakefulness and sleep. We show that recent results on Slow Wave Sleep, including our own works, naturally fit within consciousness models. In particular, Sleep Slow Oscillations, namely low-frequency (<1Hz) oscillations, contain electrophysiological properties (up and down states) able to elicit and quench neural integration during Slow Wave Sleep. The physiological unconsciousness related to the Sleep Slow Oscillation derives from the interplay between spontaneous or evoked wake-like activities (up states) and half-a-second's electrical silences (down states). Sleep Slow Oscillation induces unconsciousness via the formation of parallel and segregated neural activities.

将睡眠慢振荡与意识理论联系起来：慢波睡眠无意识的新观点。

我们在清醒和睡眠的背景下回顾当前的意识模型。我们显示，关于慢波睡眠的最新结果，包括我们自己的作品，自然符合意识模型。特别是，睡眠慢振荡，即低频（<1Hz）振荡，包含电生理特性（上下状态），能够在慢波睡眠过程中引起和抑制神经整合。与睡眠缓慢振荡有关的生理上的无意识源于自发或诱发的类似唤醒的活动（向上状态）与半秒的电沉默（向下状态）之间的相互作用。睡眠缓慢振荡通过平行和分离的神经活动的形成诱发意识丧失。
