ABSTRACT

Sleep is a fascinating physiological process, only recently some of the mysteries about its origin, physiology and biological functions have been clarified; however, much remains to be studied. Research on sleep biology and the clinical consequences of sleep disorders has made clear that sleep is a vital process for the full health of human beings. Nevertheless, according to some studies, worldwide population tends to reduce total sleep time, which is reflected in the increasing incidence of sleep disorders. In this sense, young people are particularly prone to the development of sleep disorders, mainly due to external factors (social and environmental), and other habits that can influence the quality of sleep (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, etc.). This article aims at providing an updated review about sleep neurobiology and related aspects of practical interest for university students, such as: the role of sleep in learning and memory processes, as well as the effects produced by several substances, commonly used in this population, on the sleep process; finally emphasizing the importance of appropriate sleep hygiene practices for human health
