Every animal sleeps or dies. We will review essential features of sleep that make it irreplaceable for cognition, memory, and mental health, exploring how sleep changes across the hormonal cycle and the lifespan. We will discuss cleaning, growth, and repair functions of slow wave sleep, memory transfer mechanisms during sleep spindles, the potentiation power of P-waves, and circuit remodeling during REM sleep. Finally, we will talk about neurological and mental health conditions affected by variations in sleep features.
