Sleep Cycle Stability

Meaning

The consistent and predictable progression through the distinct stages of non-REM and REM sleep, characterized by regular timing, appropriate duration of each stage, and minimal nocturnal awakenings. This stability is a direct reflection of a well-regulated circadian rhythm and robust neurological function, and it is crucial for optimal hormonal secretion and cognitive restoration. Disruption in sleep cycle stability, often seen in conditions like insomnia or sleep apnea, compromises the nocturnal release of growth hormone and melatonin, thereby impairing cellular repair and metabolic regulation. Achieving this stability is a cornerstone of any comprehensive wellness and longevity protocol.
