Sleep is a natural, periodic loss of consciousness that occurs in cycles. There is a 24-hour circadian rhythm that regulates sleep and a 90-minute sleep cycle consisting of 5 stages, including REM sleep when dreams occur. Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night for optimal health and functioning, but many do not get enough sleep.
