Sleep Efficiency Synchronization

Meaning

Sleep Efficiency Synchronization is the clinical objective of aligning an individual’s total time spent in bed with the actual time spent asleep, maximizing the proportion of restorative sleep stages, including deep slow-wave sleep and REM sleep. Achieving high sleep efficiency and synchronization with the natural circadian rhythm is critical for optimizing nocturnal hormonal release, such as growth hormone and melatonin, and for consolidating memory and emotional regulation. It is a cornerstone of neurological and metabolic health.
