Abstract

Sleep is an essential element of human health, supporting a wide range of systems including immune function, metabolism, cognition, and emotional regulation. To understand everything that sleep does, however, it is necessary to understand what sleep is. This chapter provides that foundation by discussing the conceptualization, physiology, and measurement of sleep.
