That revitalizes them to carry on the biological processes inside the body. The whole process resembles recharging a battery.
Our sleep pattern depends on our circadian rhythm, the body clock that keeps us on regular 24-hour cycles and determines the quantity and quality of our sleep. This rhythm requires us to sleep for certain period regularly. The amount of necessary sleep may be different in different individuals, but it needs to be free of any disruption.
Research shows that 8 hours of sleep a day is optimum for most people while some can sleep less because they condition their brain to achieve highly effective sleep.
