Sleep and Brain Health

Meaning

Sleep and Brain Health refers to the non-negotiable, reciprocal relationship between restorative sleep and the maintenance of optimal cognitive function, emotional regulation, and neurological integrity. During sleep, the brain actively engages in critical processes such as memory consolidation, synaptic plasticity, and the clearance of metabolic waste products. Chronic sleep deprivation impairs executive function, compromises mood stability, and is associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative conditions. Therefore, supporting sleep is a primary clinical strategy for long-term brain health and cognitive resilience.
