sleep  

Definition

  • A periodic and reversible process in which an organism enters and maintains a state of reduced alertness, altered consciousness, and reduced motor responsiveness to external stimuli compared to wakefulness. Sleep is critical for many aspects of physiological and psychological functioning, such as mood regulation and memory. It is composed of different stages, such as slow-wave sleep and REM sleep, which are characterised by polysomnographic recordings that measure indicators such as breathing rate, heart rate, electroencephalogram and electromyogram of the arm or leg muscles (Nicolas Ribeiro).
