Sleep Biology

Meaning

Sleep biology is the scientific study of the neurobiological, hormonal, and cellular processes that govern the cyclical state of rest and its essential functions for health and longevity. It encompasses the study of the circadian rhythm, sleep architecture, and the profound restorative and regulatory roles of sleep on the endocrine and immune systems. Optimal sleep biology is non-negotiable for maintaining hormonal homeostasis, metabolic health, and cognitive function. This critical phase allows for the necessary repair and maintenance of all organ systems.
