Abstract

The intricate interplay between circadian and ultradian processes and rhythms that determine sleepiness and wakefulness in normal human adults has been widely studied and has been excellently presented in the form of mathematical models interweaving homeostatic, circadian, and ultradian processes. The evolution of knowledge about these and the clinical applications of this view about sleep regulationhave been discussed in this review.
