Abstract
Although the exact functions of sleep are unknown, researchers believe it serves a restorative function, providing a period when the body can heal and get ready for the next day. Some think that sleep is related to thermoregulation of the temperature system. Others speculate that regions of the brain are shut off during non-REM sleep to allow new enzymes to be synthesized. When we don't get enough sleep, performance and concentration suffer, and memory is decreased.
