description | Summary. Sleep is an important physiological process, so its violation negatively affects physical and psychological health. In recent years, drowsiness and sleep problems have been endemic among the population. The aim of the study – to analyze current data on sleep function in normal and sleep disorders. Materials and Methods. To achieve this goal, the scientific literature for the last decade, which is available on the Internet, was analyzed, the key words were "sleep functions", "sleep disorders". Results. Restoration of sleep is associated with improved physical, cognitive and psychological performance. During sleep, multiple processes of growth and homeostasis occur. Sleep also affects immune processes. Adaptive immune cells play a significant role in brain plasticity. Immune cells are also important for wound healing and angiogenesis. Elevated circulating cortisol associated with sleep deprivation is associated with delayed wound healing and an increased risk of severe infection. Growth hormone and prolactin secretion are increased during sleep to promote protein anabolism. Conversely, the increase in corticosteroid production associated with sleep deprivation is associated with protein catabolism and increased energy expenditure. Neurocognitive and psychological processes increase during sleep. Coding and memory consolidation are affected by sleep disturbances. Sleep plays a role in affective reactivity, which also modulates memory. Adequate sleep is necessary for memory processes, which often suffer from neurological diseases and injuries. People with sleep disorders are also at increased risk for depression. Sleep disorders and mental disorders have a two-way relationship. Shortened sleep duration is associated with an increased risk of death from coronary heart disease or stroke. Conclusions. Sleep disorders often occur as a result of diseases of the body, which, in turn, leads to a deepening of sleep disorders. |
