Sleep
Sleep is a natural, recurring state of mind and body characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, reduced muscle activity, and inhibition of interactions with surroundings. It is essential for physical and mental health, playing a critical role in processes such as memory consolidation, emotional regulation, and immune function. Sleep occurs in cycles, including REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM stages, each serving distinct physiological functions. Sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, can significantly impact overall well-being.
