Understanding Sleep Drive
Sleep drive is described as an appetite for sleep that grows throughout the day and peaks late at night, dissipating quickly once you fall asleep. It is distinct from the circadian biological clock and can be influenced by artificial light exposure. A technique called sleep compression, a form of cognitive behavioral therapy, is recommended to adjust and improve sleep patterns by setting specific bedtime and wake-up time parameters.
