The Science of Sleep

• What Happens to Your Body When You Sleep?

During sleep, your body undergoes vital processes like muscle repair, tissue growth, and immune system strengthening. The brain consolidates memories, processes emotions, and removes toxins. Sleep is crucial for both physical recovery and mental rejuvenation.

• The Role of Melatonin in Sleep

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. Produced by the pineal gland, melatonin helps signal to your body when it’s time to sleep, promoting relaxation and drowsiness. Light exposure influences its production, with higher levels being released in the dark to facilitate restful sleep.
