Sleep is one of the basic physiological needs along with food and water without which we cannot live. Sleep plays a significant role in the function of the brain by the formation of new pathways and processing information. Research has shown that adequate sleep helps to increase attention and creativity, improve memory and learning, and aid in making decisions. When an individual has inadequate sleep, physical changes occur in the brain, which in turn alters the activity and function of the brain.
