Summary: Research indicates that sleep is critical for overall health, significantly impacting internal organ systems, mental disease, and chronic disease. REM sleep is particularly essential for cognitive functions, longevity, and emotional well-being. The first half of the night tends to prioritize deep sleep, while the second half focuses on REM sleep. Studies suggest that REM sleep is a predictor of lifespan and is crucial for learning, memory, and emotional processing. Deep sleep is key for physical restoration, muscle repair, blood pressure regulation, and overall health. Melatonin signals the body to prepare for sleep but does not directly induce or maintain sleep. Exposure to natural light can aid in aligning with our body's circadian rhythm for better sleep health. The sleep industry is leveraging technology, like smart beds and mattresses, to enhance sleep quality. These include features like sound wave massages, sleep tracking, and temperature monitoring. The creation of an optimal sleep environment, through understanding circadian rhythms and utilizing sleep technology, can promote healing and restful sleep.
