Sleep serves a recuperative function for the brain. This need for recuperation accumulates during waking and is met during nonrapid-eye movement (NREM) sleep. The slow wave EEG that characterizes NREM sleep appears to reflect the intensity of the recuperation process.  In the UCD sleep lab we are studying this homeostatic sleep regulation.
