#38: Deep Sleep - why is it important and how can you boost it?
Episode 38
Monday, 8 September, 2025
Deep sleep, also called slow-wave sleep, is the most restorative stage of the sleep cycle. During this phase, brain activity slows into synchronized, high-amplitude waves, allowing the body and mind to recover. Research shows that deep sleep is essential for mental clarity, memory consolidation, and learning: it helps the brain organize and store new information, clear metabolic waste, and reset neural circuits for optimal performance the next day. Studies also link higher quality deep sleep to improved focus, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. In short, deep sleep is the foundation for both cognitive resilience and long-term brain health.Join me today in my discussion with Dr. Paul Muchowski from Defined Sleep, as he discusses research on deep sleep.
