"Sleep" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
"Sleep" is the state of being peaceful and quiet, usually unconscious, during which a person's body rests and recharges for the next day. It is a fundamental biological process that helps regulate physical and mental health, memory consolidation, and overall well-being.
There are three stages of sleep: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, which is further divided into light and deep sleep, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, during which most dreaming occurs.
Humans typically spend around 7-9 hours per night sleeping, although this can vary depending on age, lifestyle, and individual needs.
