Sleep is essential for brain health as it facilitates waste clearance via the glymphatic system [1], [2], supports cognitive development [3], and enables the formation of new neural pathways for learning and memory [4], [5]. Furthermore, the brain and sleep share a bidirectional regulatory relationship [6], and disruptions to sleep, such as insomnia or apnea, directly impact brain function and oxygenation [7], [8].
