Enhanced Sleep Architecture

Meaning

Enhanced Sleep Architecture refers to the optimization of the cyclical pattern and proportion of the different sleep stages—specifically NREM (N1, N2, N3/Slow-Wave Sleep) and REM sleep—to maximize restorative physiological and cognitive functions. Clinically, this means increasing the duration and quality of deep sleep (N3) and maintaining appropriate REM cycles for memory consolidation. A robust sleep architecture is non-negotiable for hormonal regulation and systemic repair.
