Sleep is a state of reduced mental and physical activity in which consciousness is altered and sensory activity is inhibited to a certain extent
During sleep, there is a decrease in muscle activity, and interactions with the surrounding environment
While sleep differs from wakefulness in terms of the ability to react to stimuli, it still involves active brain patterns, making it more reactive than a coma or disorders of consciousness.Sleep occurs in repeating periods, during which the body alternates between two distinct modes: REM and non-REM sleep
Although REM stands for "rapid eye movement", this mode of sleep has many other aspects, including virtual paralysis of the body
Dreams are a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.
During sleep, most of the body's systems are in an anabolic state, helping to restore the immune, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems; these are vital processes that maintain mood, memory, and cognitive function, and play a large role in the function of the endocrine and immune systems
The internal circadian clock promotes sleep daily at night
The diverse purposes and mechanisms of sleep are the subject of substantial ongoing research
Sleep is a highly conserved behavior across animal evolution, likely going back hundreds of millions of years.Humans may suffer from various sleep disorders, including dyssomnias such as insomnia, hypersomnia, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea; parasomnias such as sleepwalking and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder; bruxism; and circadian rhythm sleep disorders
The use of artificial light has substantially altered humanity's sleep patterns
Common sources of artificial light include outdoor lighting and the screens of electronic devices such as smartphones and televisions, which emit large amounts of blue light, a form of light typically associated with daytime
This disrupts the release of the hormone melatonin needed to regulate the sleep-cycle.
