Abstract in brief

This text discusses the neurobiology of sleep and wakefulness, highlighting the importance of understanding these processes due to the high prevalence of excessive sleepiness and related disorders.
It explains that although sleep and wakefulness are interconnected, they involve different neural pathways, neurotransmitters, and receptors, particularly within the ascending arousal system and the sleep-active neurons in the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus.
The review also covers how homeostatic and circadian factors, especially the role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, regulate the sleep-wake cycle and how disruptions in these processes are linked to various sleep disorders like insomnia, narcolepsy, and neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
