Slow Wave Sleep is a specific phase of sleep, as evidenced by its role in memory consolidation [1] and its association with the peak efficiency of the glymphatic system {fact:2, fact:4}. Furthermore, alcohol consumption is known to disrupt both general sleep patterns and the specific Slow Wave Sleep phase [2].

referenceThe Memory Consolidation Theory posits that sleep is crucial for consolidating memories formed during wakefulness by actively processing and stabilizing newly acquired information during REM and slow-wave sleep (SWS) phases, transferring it from short-term to long-term memory stores, according to Sridhar et al. (2023).
