In this video we examine the neuroscience of sleep, covering sleep stages, arousal- and sleep-promoting systems in the brain, REM vs. non-REM sleep and the parts of the brain responsible for each. Factors such as adenosine that cause us to feel tired, circadian rhythms and how they are regulated by the brain, melatonin, and the functions of sleep are also discussed.
