What you'll learn
- What Is Sleep and Wakefulness. Your brain is either awake or asleep, but those aren't just on/off states—they're two totally different modes of operation.
- Your Body's 24-Hour Sleep Clock. You've probably noticed that you feel alert at certain times of day and drowsy at others—and that feeling doesn't shift much even when you try to fight it.
