Sleep Cycle Regulation

Meaning

Sleep cycle regulation is the management and optimization of the body’s natural circadian and ultradian rhythms that govern the progression through the distinct stages of sleep. Effective regulation ensures adequate duration and quality of Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, which are essential for cognitive restoration and hormonal secretion. Poor regulation profoundly impacts metabolic and endocrine health.
