| Abstract： |
| Sleep is regulated by two processes: the circadian rhythm (process C) and the homeostatic system (process S). Circadian rhythm, often described as the body’s internal clock, is in the brain and is strongly influenced by light and darkness. It helps determine the timing of when we feel alert during the day and when we become sleepy at night. The sleep drive, regulated by the homeostatic system, increases the longer we remain awake and decreases once we fall asleep. Together, these two systems control the timing, quality, and restorative function of sleep. When circadian rhythm is disrupted, such as by shift work, irregular schedules, or jet lag, sleep often becomes shorter and less refreshing. Over time, these disruptions can negatively affect mental health, physical health, and daily functioning. Understanding these basic principles underscores the importance of maintaining a stable sleep routine and promoting circadian alignment for overall well-being. |
