Deep Sleep Recovery

Meaning

Deep sleep recovery refers to the restorative physiological processes that occur predominantly during Slow-Wave Sleep (SWS), the deepest stage of non-REM sleep. This period is characterized by high-amplitude, low-frequency delta brain waves and is essential for physical repair, memory consolidation, and the pulsatile release of growth hormone. It signifies the critical phase where metabolic waste is cleared and cellular homeostasis is restored.
