Sleep is an important component of human life, yet many people do not understand
the relationship between the brain and the process of sleeping. Sleep has been
proven to improve memory recall, regulate metabolism, and reduce mental fatigue.
A minimum of 7 hours of daily sleep seems to be necessary for proper cognitive
and behavioral function. The emotional and mental handicaps associated with
chronic sleep loss as well as the highly hazardous situations which can be
contributed to the lack of sleep is a serious concern that people need to be
aware of. When one sleeps, the brain reorganizes and recharges itself, and
removes toxic waste byproducts which have accumulated throughout the day. This
evidence demonstrates that sleeping can clear the brain and help maintain its
normal functioning. Multiple studies have been done to determine the effects of
total sleep deprivation; more recently some have been conducted to show the
effects of sleep restriction, which is a much more common occurrence, have the
same effects as total sleep deprivation. Each phase of the sleep cycle restores
and rejuvenates the brain for optimal function. When sleep is deprived, the
active process of the glymphatic system does not have time to perform that
function, so toxins can build up, and the effects will become apparent in
cognitive abilities, behavior, and judgment. As a background for this paper we
have reviewed literature and research of sleep phases, effects of sleep
deprivation, and the glymphatic system of the brain and its restorative effect
during the sleep cycle.
