Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles, and reduced interactions with surroundings.

Sleep occurs in repeating periods, in which the body alternates between two distinct modes known as non-REM and REM sleep.
