Sleep Impact on Willpower

Meaning

Sleep Impact on Willpower describes the direct, essential influence of both the quantity and quality of restorative sleep on the functional integrity and energetic reserves of the prefrontal cortex, thereby profoundly modulating the subsequent day’s capacity for self-control, inhibitory power, and resistance to impulsive behavior. Adequate sleep is not merely rest but a necessary physiological process for the renewal of cognitive resources. Chronic sleep restriction is a significant, measurable factor in the erosion of discipline.
