    Sleep is most restorative for waking functions and health when it is consolidated in a single continuous block rather than fragmented into shorter periods. The document discusses the science behind sleep including the circadian rhythm, sleep-wake homeostasis, and melatonin hormone, as well as the stages of sleep including light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep. Finally, it notes that consolidated, uninterrupted sleep is important for cognitive, behavioral, metabolic, immune, and emotional health functions.
