Abstract

The effects of sleep on the brain are multiple. Slow-wave sleep plays a crucial role in various processes occurring within the brain, such as waste clearance by the glymphatic system, memory consolidation, and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Inadequate sleep has been implicated as a risk factor for numerous conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, increased risk of infections, inflammatory conditions, and memory deterioration.
