Slow Wave Sleep Maximization

Meaning

Slow Wave Sleep (SWS) Maximization is the targeted physiological objective of increasing the duration and intensity of the deepest stage of non-REM sleep, also known as deep sleep or stage N3. This phase is physiologically critical for the body’s most intensive restorative processes, including physical repair, immune system regulation, and the majority of growth hormone secretion. Maximizing SWS is a fundamental strategy for longevity and hormonal optimization.
